IMPACT VARIPOLE REVIEW: TRANSFORM YOUR HOME YOUTUBE STUDIO

[@PeopleNeedJesus1]

The rubber cups at each end of the poles will leave a mark (round dark ring) on the ceiling. I suggest placing a small sandwich bag over the end of each pole before putting it in place. Especially if you plan on leaving them in place for an extended length of time.

[@DeafDirector]

Great point. I wrapped a small piece of wood in duvetyne where it came in contact with the wall. Thanks so much for the comment and have a great day!

@@DeafDirector They sell washable end caps for them

[@JSmooove]

that would kind of defeat the purpose of the suction cup

[@cubul32]

Yeah some plywood with some felt padding seems to be a good idea.

[@c.s.christopher5801]

@@JSmooove It's not a suction cup. It uses pressure, not suction.

[@SynchroDiaries]

Excellent, detailed video. You showed me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.

Thanks so much! That's very helpful information. Something more on class and the way equipment attaches to them would be very very helpful. Unless there's already something on the topic ❤

[@panosproductionsphotograph7135]

Thank you for doing this video. Helped me set up my Varipoles a lot.

[@EmmyRivera]

I wanted to set this up in my bedroom studio. I was between this and a rolling c-stand. Went with the c-stand so that I could roll it around. But great review bro! Tx

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks Ismael! You can never go wrong with the versatility of a c-stand. Good luck on your bedroom studio build.

[@johnsfilmsllc]

I’m redoing my home studio now and ran across your review on the Varipole. I’ve subbed, specifically due to your production quality - well done I can’t wait for tutorials on how to improve my game. Thanks for being here!

[@earnieboy54]

Built out a kit in B and H and it’s not too expensive. However the shipping costs of backdrop paper??? Literally added 210 bucks to my shipping costs. Oh boy. Lol. Thanks for the video!

[@DeafDirector]

Man, I have felt that exact pain! Good luck with the studio

[@MattWyattMedia]

Great video, great review. Thanks for making this.

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks, Matt! Good luck on your studio

[@OldManRunner]

Super Informative Video… and the teleprompter is genius. Thanks!

[@justcallmesando]

Best intro EVER

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Thanks. This is the first I've heard of these. Wish I would have seen this before buying my c-stand.

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks, Ken! They are pretty cool, but don’t feel too bummed about the c-stand purchase. It will last you forever and a c-stand always comes in handy. Thanks for the comment and have a great day!

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

@@DeafDirector Wishing you lots of success with your channel. Ken

[@alyssaalig]

Lighting looks great!

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks, Alyssa!

[@DopamineOverload]

EXCELLENT video. Subscribed! What if your space is like 13' from wall to wall... do they make a 14' or 15' pole? I'd rather ceiling-mount it, than floor-to-ceiling which wouldn't be as useful. Thanks!

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks, Chris. Impact actually makes a 78" and a 59" extension unit that works with the Varipole. I'll put a link at the end of this message. Hope it helps and I'm super pumped to have you subscribe. Good luck on your studio! www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/822799-REG/Impact_VPE_6B_Varipole_Extension_78.html

[@DopamineOverload]

@@DeafDirector THANKS. Exactly what I was looking for. It should be sturdy enough to mount like a few CFL lights (without softboxes... I just mount the head itself, less bulk.. haha) and some type of mount for a mirrorless DSLR, I think... mic/arm? I think all of that stuff should be light enough for the total weight.... thanks again, so much!

[@DopamineOverload]

​@@DeafDirector Is your horizontal pole used with the extender? Most garages are wider than 12', so just wondering... thanks so much!

[@DeafDirector]

@@DopamineOverload I have a center support column, so I was able to use mine without the extender.

[@DopamineOverload]

@@DeafDirector Ah yes, I see... the support beam. Awesome, though man. Excellent, super helpful video. Look forward to checking out your other content!

[@theconstantaperture]

I tried to install these in my studio, cement ceiling etc. I thought when you clamp down the handle that the top pole would actually move it up a bit and then clamp down tight. It only tightens around the pole. I moved it a bit to check and it slipped and every time. I want to add 3 paper rolls and I don’t think I’m keeping them. Just my thoughts.

[@youngonestudio]

Does this have a spring loaded end like the Autopole 2? No one seems to mention this in their reviews

[@IannWu]

Great video! May I ask what extension stand did you use to mount the light and connect to the super clamp on the auto pole?

[@DeafDirector]

Hey Iann Wu,I actually used Super Clamps with 5/8 Stud pins (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824368-REG/Impact_srp_107_4_7_Snap_in_Pin_for.html) to hang up all of the lights in my setup. The only extension unit I used was a boom pole to hold my shotgun mic.

[@IannWu]

@@DeafDirector Thanks for the info! What part do I need to clamp a boom like like onto the auto pole?

[@DeafDirector]

@@IannWu I attached a super clamp to the pole and then to put a 5/8 pin into the super clamp. On the 5/8 pin I attached a C stand knuckle www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/371923-REG/Impact_KCP_200_Grip_Head_2_5.html On the knuckle I attached Boom Pole Holder www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/885688-REG/Auray_BPH_BOOM_POLE.html

[@TolisDokianos]

Very helpful video! I actually could use them to run across from wall to wall - I hadn't thought of that! Thanks!

[@DeafDirector]

Good luck with your setup!

[@thecreativeyouthsociety547]

You had me at adorable little ones! ❤️

[@DeafDirector]

They get me every time, too! Thanks for the comment!

[@digitalkev06]

Subbed ! Great review man. Going to pick these up.

[@DeafDirector]

They are super handy. Good luck!

[@erroldillon1548]

Can you get floor stands for these poles?

[@cubul32]

Wait, you were able to attach a boom arm there on the left?

[@monsterwerksvideo]

10 seconds in...omg, those girls are adorable! Okay, onto the video.

[@brianwongwaichung]

Great content, I subscribed to your channel! Thanks.

[@DeafDirector]

Thanks, Brian. Great to have you come along!

[@Natquascape]

Hi - great review; so you have used this from floor to ceiling....how about using this from wall to wall. That way you can place the pole high towards the ceiling and hang lights and cameras for overhead shots. Could this be mounted across a room wall to wall?

[@DeafDirector]

Hey Natquascape, you can look at 3:04 on the video to see how I used this pole in a horizontal (wall to wall) configuration from my support beam to hand lights from. Thanks for the comment

[@Natquascape]

@@DeafDirector ah yes! Apologies my friend....thanks for this.

[@DeafDirector]

@@Natquascape Hope it helps! Have fun putting your studio together!
