Part of the Varidrive system for easy raising and lowering of seamless paper, the Varidrive with Black Chain from Impact has adjustable inserts that tightly grip each side of the various sized seamless paper rolls. The Varidrive is then inserted into hooks like the Impact ME-122, ME-123 or the triple hook VPD-H3W. With the exception of ME-122 which fits in a Super Clamp, the other hook sets are bolted onto the wall.

Is this works with savage port A stand?
Is this works with savage port A stand?
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
What is the final measurements if using a 107 roll, or how many inches does it stick out of the paper roll on each side?
The Varidrives stick out about 4 inches. So add four inches to each side of the background.

I bought the 140"x150' savage paper, I also bought a set of baby hooks for an expan drive to mount to c-stands,will also be using an ALU-Core, these rolls are 100 pounds, should I be confident with this set up holding the weight?
No. I'm not sure the ALU-Core will even do anything. These drives are all plastic. You would be better off just using the ALU-Core in my opinion. I found the roll flexing a lot in the center and the drives underperforming. I ended up unrolling a ton of the paper to make everything lighter. I hope this helps.

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?
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.

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?
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.
