Mine isn't loud and certainly cant even hear it over the extract and inline fans so doesn't affect me

It squeaks when it reaches the end of rotation sounds like rubber and plastic rubbing. I'm sure I can adjust it somehow just haven't taken a few minutes to take it apart yet.Mine isn't loud and certainly cant even hear it over the extract and inline fans so doesn't affect me

I own the 6" Vivosun OSC clip on.
The clamp is tight, the oscillation stays within the 90° corner it's a good speed and it's quiet.
Nice little fan.

I own 6 of these. They work REALLY awesome until they don't. They will give you about 3-6 months use full time.
I buy them in 2 packs. When two burn out I order another 2 pack and wait a couple weeks and return the other two that are burnt out.
This way I always have at least four running fans... and usually two being sent back. It's a hack/cheat, but it keeps you in fans without having to keep buying them when they burn out.

Almost got the monkey fan myself but went with a 16” hurricane instead. Lmao. Got bored one day and rigged this up. Super over kill

I use these on the roof of the tents, pointing straight down. Work great for when the oscillating on them craps out.
I used these in my greenhouse this year, will clamp them to the tent for the winter. They are rechargeable so if power goes out you are still all set for up to 24 hours depending on speed setting. I plan to leave them plugged in though.

Or...If you are not feeling like cranking up the car and spending that cash...
Take tape and roll an uneven lumpy wrap right under the position you would like the fans to stop at...lol...That's the Hyrdokid Save a Buck Trick..
lol...Or maybe not..lol but that will surely stop it from sliding.
I use the Vivosun Clip fans...they sell them in pairs on Amazon and they are nice Additions..
That would only be bad on the engine if it was CLOSE to the Top without any air to suck from the Back..
Without the proper air suction the engine can overheat, but if you lower it properly (4-6" hook) it should function just fine.

Wil it still oscillate when it is horizontal?

Of course... As long as its movement isn't blocked by other hanging obstacles (filter, lights, ie. intake/outtake fans) it should still move freely.
I spent a fortune on my fans that have now run 24/7 for almost 3 years now. I bought 4 for each pole corner in my 5X5, swirling the air around in a nice vortex before it's sucked out the 6" exhaust fan mounted on top of my tent. The fans have clips that hold onto the Vivosun poles well enough without modification. They cost me a whopping $11.99 Canadian dollars each, and the name of them is "MAINSTAYS 6-inch Clip on fan" available at your local Walmart.

Two different tents. Same setup. Hurricane on roof oscillating pointing down. One broke and replaced it. Found out oscillating doesn’t matter. Straight down is fine.

They’ll fail soon enough. Save both for when they do. Buy a new 2 pack and return those broken ones a short time later. Good luck.
