Impact Varidrive Overview

This Impact Varidrive with Black Metal Chains and Triple Hook Kit from B&H is a convenient way to support three rolls of background paper. The kit includes a pair of background triple hooks and three Varidrive sets with black metal chains to raise and lower paper backgrounds.

Impact Varidrive Set with Metal Chain (Black)

This Varidrive Set with Metal Chain in black from Impact makes it easy to raise and lower seamless background paper rolls. The set includes expandable Varidrive cores that grip the paper roll's interior core tube and allow a background to be raised or lowered with a simple pull of the chain. For ease of operating multiple backgrounds, this Varidrive set includes a black metal chain, drive sets with gray, silver, and red chains are also available. Built with features like a large-tooth gear wheel and flat metal chain, the Varidrive set is easy to install and can be used with paper rolls up to 12' wide and weighing up to 42 pounds.

The Varidrive set can be suspended from a variety of accessory hooks. Use Impact VariPoles and Triple Background Hooks with Super Clamps to suspend backgrounds in areas with extremely tall ceilings. The Varidrive set may also be used with Impact's separately available Cross Pole to expand compatibility with uncored paper rolls and fabric backgrounds.

  • Holds background paper with cores measuring up to 12' wide and weighing up to 42 lbs
  • Chain drive can be placed on left or right side of paper roll
  • Allows rapid deployment of background paper in a studio
  • Multiple rolls can be mounted on a background support system using multiple Varidrive sets
  • Multiple chain colors available for identifying individual rolls
  • Two expandable cores adjust to fit tightly inside the paper roll
  • Set includes black chain and chain weight

Impact Background Triple Hooks (Set of 2)

The Background Triple Hooks from Impact make it possible to mount three rolls of seamless background paper up to 9 x 6 ft. to a studio wall or ceiling. This hook system makes it easy to access and switch between the different paper rolls. The Impact Varidrive chain drive system can be installed into each roll, and the hooks separate each background roll with enough room to change backgrounds quickly and conveniently. Thanks to the progressive length of each hook, each roll can be accessed individually without the hassle of moving the others.

The slots in each hook are cut at a 45° angle so they will support paper rolls with Varidrive cores suspended from a ceiling. Concrete anchors are included for permanent wall or ceiling mounting. This simple addition to your studio reduces the time spent on tasks like changing backgrounds, and spending more time creating the perfect image.

NOTE: May be mounted to sheetrock walls using sheetrock anchors, molly bolts or toggle bolts, available separately.

I own 2 of these. One of them the tension on the ...

I own 2 of these. One of them the tension on the chain to unroll is very tight--I have to pull hard to bring the paper down. On my other one, the tension is so loose it doesn't want to stop unrolling. This makes me believe that there is a way to adjust the tension but I can't figure it out. To be clear, the entire roll and chain/gear/pulley keep unrolling, it's not just the paper tube not being tightly attached to the rods. How do you adjust?
Asked by: James
The side that doesn’t have the chain, there is a knob that loosens and tightens. It’s where the bracket mounts on the arm.

Is this works with savage port A stand?
Asked by: Safwan
I think it would be awkward at best. These work best on a bracket anchored to the wall. That said, if you mounted the bracket to the stands it could conceivably work, but it'd be wobbly

question

I have this system I use for 2- 9 ft paper rolls and it worked fine for awhile but now when I move the chains it isnt catching the rolls and unwinding as it should. I have tried taking it off and reinstalling and tightening and everything. any ideas on what could be the problem?
Asked by: Amy
There is a tension control on the drive without the chain to control how loose or how tight the drive will move. If this does not correct the issue, I would recommend speaking with the manufacturer by calling 212-594-2120.

question

I like this design style but it is too weak. Is there any company that makes this exact thing except out of metal? I have had multiple mounts like this but they have all broke. I need something stronger (with a metal chain)
Asked by: Andrew O.
I have at least 15 sets and never once had an issue that wasn't operator error.

Can I mount to concrete wall using 3 9ft and 7ft rolls?
Asked by: Ian
You can mount to concrete. The Impact Wall Mounting Kit with Metal Chain for Roll Paper BH #IMVPDDSMCK only comes with two wall mount fixtures. All the rolls must be the same length.
