Pro-light Mounts
Vipod & Stud-link
Code: ViP-35S
Supports Pro and other ViP lights
on flat surfaces. Vipod can be
screwed, Gaffer-taped or
clamped to vertical sur-
faces. Stud-link is remov-
able. The Low Link can
also be mounted on the
Vipod by attaching the Low link to the Vipod
using the knob provided with the Lowel link.
Tota-mount
Code: T1-32
Tota-mount supports
any of the ViP fix-
tures atop doors and
partitions. Doors can
be open or
closed.The light can
be inside or outside room, since swinging
arm extends past most door jams. Tota-mount
can be flipped over and nailed to studio set
walls or Gaffer-taped to windows or tile,
wood, metal and other wall surfaces.
Mounting Tota-mount &
Vipod with Gaffer Tape
Use 12”of
Gaffer-tape
on each bar
on Tota
Mount or
side of Vipod
and burnish
down with a
coin. Avoid
wallpaper, soft composition board or flaking
paint. Never attach to the ceiling with tape.
Use original Lowel Gaffer-tape. Many substi-
tutes leave adhesive residue or lack sufficient
strength. When properly attached, Tota-mount
or Vipod will support the Iight for days.
However, on dirty or poorly bonded surfaces,
or with improper or poorly applied tape, there
is the danger of the mount falling down and
causing serious damage. Check adhesion
periodically. Prevent direct light from over-
heating tape. Remove tape when cool, by
peeling back diagonally. Tota-mount should
not be used with lights heavier than 3 lbs.
(1.33 kg)
Tota-clamp
Code: T1-30
Tota-clamp supports most lights
that fit standard 5/8” studs.
Tota-clamp can be attached to
pipes, stands, or flat surfaces.
When clamping on furniture, use
thin wood or cardboard to avoid
marring. To rotate stud, turn wing
nut counterclockwise several turns. The stud
can be locked in any of four positions; two for
the 5/8” stud and two for the end with the
1/4-20 tapped hole. A 1/4-20 screw can be
used to lock on some microphone yokes and
various accessories.

for Flexi-shafts.
