I recommend using zip ties as "safeties" for the lights that hang on the pole, just in case the clamp fails/loosens.

[TG-Maverick]

Wow your set up is amazing. Thank you so much for this DIY. Exactly what i was looking for. 10/10

[RobertGossCreator]

overall nice job I just installed a support pole as well but in my home studio I have a ceiling light so my main power is pluged in so I don't have any wires running down the wall. Saved a lot of money for sure

[Arouth]

Great tips on the paint! I’ll have to try that

[pineappleparadox]

Fantastic explanation of your setup. Thanks!

[lexasakie]

Probably the best setup I've seen so far. Thanks!

[Pikmeir]

Great idea putting everything on the ceiling. I've had some bad luck with several of those SmallRig clamps, so I'd recommend something like the Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp instead - much stronger and you won't have to clamp down as hard but they hold better.

[MattMendians]

This is great! I’m watching videos cause I have a small room with a drum set. Researching ideas to try something like this so I can have a overhead shot and mount my two lights? Also maybe my two overhead microphones to clear up walking space. Great idea!

[RobinSampsonMcCarthy]

Thanks. I have a 12-foot ceiling so I'm trying to figure out a wall-to-wall pipe solution.

[themoonbreonchannel]

Wow this is amazing!! We are definitely going to be creating this!

[KristianPage]

Great video, exactly what I was looking for.

[meganosbornharrell]

Amazing! We are totally going to do this! Thank you!!

[SweetChariotOfFire]

Great idea! I've been scrambling to find a new solution for my future office that's a lot smaller than my current one, so this would help in freeing up space. Thanks!

[jodifriedman]

I wish I was handy enough to make this.

[SwaySkits]

This is the exact same thing I learned when I was in high school studying A/V. I needed a reminder and saw your video. Thank you for making this video.

[TimotheeReacts]

Do you have links to the LIGHTING SPIGOT ADAPTER and the clamp you used

[lkrulik]

Been looking for solution like this for a basement stage setup. Can this rig hold multiple stage lights, etc? Thinking of this as a truss.

[wdavis]

Good job.

With the GVM mounted lights did you find that you still needed the floor lights?
The 2 mounted GVM didn't do the job? I'm asking because I was planning to get 2 GVM lights to mount and do away with the floor stands altogether.

[DutchUltra]

well done man. how tall are your ceilings? mine are 8 Feet. I need to try this!

[stochasticagency]

10 feet of 3/4 inch electrical conduit $10. Two 3/4 inch electrical conduit standoffs. Two 5-inch pieces of PVC. Two 6-inch Black Ecoat Flat-Head Exterior Structural Wood Screws. All are mounted to studs. Total cost $38.56.
