Impact Varipole Reviews

These Are Awesome

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5

Our use case for this product was lighting and backdrop support for a podcast studio. What a game changer! Paired with some Impact Super Clamps, these allow you to get your lights up where you need them without taking up too much valuable floorspace. They are light weight, sturdy, and easy to use. I'll definitely be purchasing another set to live in my grip kit for those situations where a C-Stand is just too bulky.

Wont tension enough too stand alone despite following instructions to do so

I got one to stay put but the 2nd one just won't tension enough to keep it upright with zero weight on it. SUPER frustrating. Probably better off buying the Manfrotto ones. Two stars since one of them works?

How mobile is this? Can one pole be taken to other indoor locations and used vertically to hold a softbox instead of a c stand?
Asked by: Erum
The Impact Deluxe Varipole Support System - Black (Pair) is mobile and can be used as a single pole to hold a light. You will need a clamp like the Impact Super Clamp with 5/8" Snap-In Pin, BH # IMCC106TSIP (https://bhpho.to/43r3Jhf).

Can I buy just one pole?
Asked by: Richard
Unfortunately, Impact does not sell the Impact Deluxe Varipole Support System - Black (Pair) as a single autopole unit; it is only sold in pairs. If you need a single autopole, a similar option from another manufacturer would be the Manfrotto Deluxe Autopole 2 (Black, 6.8-12.1'), B&H # MA43237B. https://bhpho.to/3VFoiRN

I’d like one longer and one shorter size. Is it possible to cut down to a shorter size with a pipe cutter?
Asked by: Eugene
I just checked and while I've not actually done this, I think as long as you cut from the bottom (removable foot) section which is longer, you should be fine provided you don't need to remove too much length.
