This Varidrive Set with Metal Chain in silver from Impact makes it easy to raise and lower seamless background paper rolls. The set includes expandable Varidrive cores that grip the paper roll's interior core tube and allow a background to be raised or lowered with a simple pull of the chain. For ease of operating multiple backgrounds, this Varidrive set includes a silver metal chain, drive sets with red, black, and gray chains are also available. Built with features like a large-tooth gear wheel and flat metal chain, the Varidrive set is easy to install and can be used with paper rolls up to 12' wide and weighing up to 42 pounds.

The Varidrive set can be suspended from a variety of accessory hooks. Use Impact VariPoles and Triple Background Hooks with Super Clamps to suspend backgrounds in areas with extremely tall ceilings. The Varidrive set may also be used with Impact's separately available Cross Pole to expand compatibility with uncored paper rolls and fabric backgrounds.

Q: 2. Can the wall hooks be mounted to a ceiling instead of wall?

A: Yes. I had them mounted to the wall in my old studio and they are on the ceiling in my new studio. I actually prefer them on the ceiling now, but with the 10' ceilings, changing rolls is definitely a two person + ladder job.

Q: 3. How do I keep the roll at a set position, such as rolled up or partially rolled down? I don't see any way to keep it from rolling once it's in position.

A: When utilizing the Impact Varidrive with Silver Metal Chain, the roll can be at a set position based on how much tension is placed on the wheels on the back of the drive. Additionally, you can also add a counterweight to the roll such as the Savage Leader Bar. You may find the options for that product here. https://bhpho.to/3ChA3EZ
