Varipoles are a great way to support backdrops or accessories while saving the floor space taken up when using stands. All that's required is a firm surface for the pole top to grip. If your room has a drop ceiling, the Impact Drop Ceiling Adapter clamps scissor-like to an intersection of your drop ceiling support frame. Simply remove the Varipole's rubber top and the spring top adapter and insert the top of the Varipole into the adapter's receiver. An Allen screw is included for additional tightening if necessary (3mm Allen key sold separately).
