Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the dimensions of the wall hooks?

A: 12 1/2 tall 1 3/4 wide the stands are 1 1/2 wide 3 3/4 apart the top sticks out 5 1/4 middle 6 1/2 the bottom 8 in find a stud to screw these too will be heavy

Q: 2. Will these work with canvas backgrounds?

A: The key to this product is the weight limit. I don't remember what that is- but canvas is usually heavier. The Mfr. says product is for 9' paper rolls. I tried to use this on my 12x10 canvas BG and have had poor results. Canvas is too heavy, distance too far and the plastic chain pull too weak to move the BG. Stick to 9 ft rolls- works great!

Q: 3. Minimum and maximum core diameter please?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Varidrive will expand from 1/8 to 3 .

Q: 4. Will this work with the Bright Tangerine DNA Matte box? Thanks.

A: No, this is on compatible with Misfit Kick or any other ARRI LMB standard matte box.

Q: 5. Is there a way to attach these to stands rather than mount them to a wall?

A: Yes Charles. We used Mafer Clamps (see below) and mounted the Impact hooks to the flat side of the Mafer. You can then attach the Mafer clamps to stands, or auto polls (see below) as needed.

Q: 6. Will this fit a Schoeps CMC641?

A: No, this kit is for use with the Schoeps MiniCMIT microphone. The Rycote Windshield Kit 2 - Complete Windshield and Suspension System (B&H # RYWSK2) is the kit that fits the CMC641.

Q: 7. Does anyone have any input on this product? Will it work for 9 foot rolls?Thanks!

A: Yes, we use it for 9ft rolls in our studio (kept the paper on cardboard rolls). Very sturdy. Works great, cardboard tubes from the paper rolls start to warp over time (up for 8 months; could switch the paper over to a pvc pipe if warping gets worse). The only thing to look out for is paper doesn't stay rolled very well because there is nothing to keep it wound up. If you have high ceilings won't be an issue. It's a great system. for the price.

Q: 8. is there a double system available?

A: Unfortunately, there is no double system available for this type of product.

Q: 9. Does this kit come with hardware?

A: This kit does not come with wall anchors.

Q: 10. Which filters are in this pack?

A: Hi,2 reds, yellow, orange, green, blue and then 4 varying degrees of frosted gels.I hope this helps.Regards,Will H
