putting the xpert in the carrying case
ok, so I got my new x-pert today and I am totally psyched. I have to wait until tomorrow to put it up because I have 12ft ceilings and I had to order a different main pole B to have more pole. Anywhoo…I decided to go ahead and put the darned thing into the carrying case ad was like "what the french toast"??
I can tell the poles go into the slots but what’s with all that velcro stuff in there? I can’t figure out how the poles are supposed to go in there. The dome, got it no problem mostly because it’s bag is round (duh me) but the pole bag has kinda stumped me….does anyone have a picture of theirs all nicely packed up?? every time I try to put a pole in a slot the velcro thingys don’t have the right sides facing to actually stick..sooooo maybe I’m a little slow but I figured I’d ask anyway. thanks for your time! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -

I pack my upper dome in its bag but I also slide the bottom plate inside the upper dome hole so its completely flushed and that fits in the bag nicely (I also slide the little bag with the tools in there too along with the extension instructions). The main bag as far as the velcro goes you may want to take all the cardboard containers out all the way so you can look at all of the velcro pieces. I personally dont utilize every last one but i use most but I rarely take the cardboard pieces out (esp the main A and B pole containers) so I just pop the top and slide each piece out. To distribute the weight evenly the main poles should go in the outside slots on eachside of the bag (if the velcro is giving you the blues just undo them all..slide the pole container in and velcro which ones u need around it so its secure. I keep one side of the container lid untaped so i can pop the cap and remove the pieces easier, the top should face the end with the flap that folds over before you velcro the bag closed, the bottom is the part with the slots. My extensions are all secure within the velcro (in the middle area b/w the main poles) where I want it to go but its no set way you feel me. Its your pole so you can organize that bag how you want to chica. go for it…and goodluck https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif If you still want me to post a pic I can when I get home later so you can have more of a visual https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

thanks so much, that sounds like it makes sense. I was putting all the extensions in the bottom and the bag was all lop sided! I finally figured out all of that velcro stuff and realized I’m probably not going to need all of those straps…that’s a good thing. SOooo overall, I totally appreciate your reply and I think I will do it that way. thanks so much!
