Impact Sliding Arm Reviews

So much easier than twist locks

By Adam
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-29

Incredible upgrade to traditional C-stands. Obviously it's part of a system—you need a pole for it—but that system is SO much easier to manage than traditional knobs and locks. Adjusting height is faster, easier, and way less strenuous, even one-handed, EVEN with heavy strobes and modifiers (primarily AD600 Pro II with MagMod strip box). For everyday use, it's a big quality of life improvement, but if you have an impaired arm (or like me as I write this, you're recovering from shoulder surgery), it's a game-changer. Would be five stars, but I noticed when I wiggle it on the pole, it has a tendency to slide down a little. Stays perfectly in place if it's not touched (hasn't moved in a week), but bumping into it might require re-setting it. I tried adjusting the bolts but they're already as tight as they get.

Excellent

This product is specifically for the Impact Column Stand with Sliding Arm and most column stands with a 1.4-inch diameter, which do not have any additional risers at the top like the Impact Folding Wheel Base Stand.

Will it fit the Impact Deluxe Varipole Support System?
Asked by: Jose
Unfortunately, no, the Impact Sliding Arm Support with Hand Grip is not compatible for use with the Impact Deluxe Varipole Support System. It is only compatible for use with the Impact Column Stand. The Impact Column Stand has a uniform tubing diameter of 1.38” (35mm), while the Autopoles and Varipoles have a larger tubing diameter of (bottom) 1.77” (45.4mm) & (top) - 1.58” (40mm). They are not compatible or interchangeable with one another.

The pistol grip slides easily over the pole but budges, sliding down with just a little bit of force. Is this normal?
Asked by: Marc
If the Impact Sliding Arm Support with Hand Grip feels loose, you can attempt to tighten the allen screws that surround the stand to see if the loose feeling in the grip subsides.
