Key Features
- Includes Three Varidrives, Chains, Weights
- Includes Two Triple Wall Hooks
- Easily Raise/Lower Background Paper
- Color-Coded Chains
The Impact Wall Mounting Kit for Paper Roll consists of three Varidrive sets with cores, chains and weights. It also contains two triple wall hooks on which you mount the drives. The three color-coded chains allow you to locate which of your three backgrounds is secured to which core. The three included weights hold the chains straight. Once installed, it will be easy to raise and lower your optional backdrops with a minimum of effort. The cores insert into each end of the backdrop and expand to stay firmly in place. The chains are able to be placed on either the left or right side of the wall hooks depending on your working preference.

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.

If I have a core with a painted standard background attached, will this hold the weight of the canvas background?
What you get in the kit is strong enough to support a painted canvas background. As you say, the variable would be the strength of the core.
Good luck!

Does buying the metal chain version really make a difference?
Yes. Both systems work, but the metal chain has better build and durability and has decent tension. Also, I feel the weight of the chain helps the chain hang better and straighter. The plastic chain helps if you are on a budget, but it can seem too light at times. It basically comes down to personal preference.

I have a 95 and 3/4 inch wall and want to mount an 86” roll. Will it fit with the varidrive ends, cardboard core and brackets? I know it is very tight, any way to fit it though?
No, you will not have room to install the Impact Varidrive system on a 95 3/4’’ wall.
