Varipole Support System

INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for choosing the Impact Varipole Support System. The
adjustable Varipole easily and quickly mounts between solid oors and
ceilings, giving you a stable support system for backgrounds, reectors,
lights, or grip accessories. It was designed with a unique tension
mechanism and locking system that exerts sufcient pressure to securely
wedge the Varipole’s protective rubber ends between ceiling and oor.

To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment, please
read these instructions carefully on how to set up and use this equipment.

We trust that our Varipole Support System will serve your creative
inspirations reliably for years to come.

Each Varipole package should include the following:

• Varipole support pole

• Top rubber cushion

• Bot tom rubber cushion
