http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORqyc6Awse0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The above poler has attached their silks to their pole. Does anyone know where to purchase the rigging equipment to do this?
If anyone could please help me thanks Pammie x

Lil' Mynx has it for $180. It's called Pole Aria.

How is this different than flygym? http://www.flygym.com/

Forget that….fly gym is more hammock style.

Holy crap. I didn't know LM was selling that! I am soooo getting that thing! I wonder if you could switch out the umni gym attacment on it.

AWESOME! First I've heard of Pole Aria! Pole + Silks = I'm in love! Thanks for sharing this!

On the site it says "While it can also be used on other brands of poles, Pole Aria should not be used on a free standing pole/stage or any friction only mounted poles."
-
I'm not sure if that is to get us to buy a LM pole for it, ir if it really is dangerous on a friction pole. I don't see why it would be…

WOW!

Okay, now I'm bummed. The creator of this thing runs the studio where I used to live. Lame!

I called lilmynx and platinum stages about this. They both said DO NOT use this on a stage pole or a removal pole. Too bad. I guess I'll have to wait till I move outta here for an aerial rig.

If u mounted ur pole to the ceiling u could use it on ur X!
-
I'd talk to Randy at lilmynx and x pole about that. And they need to be mounted with heavy duty screws, cuz the force on the top of the pole is a lot!

When you mount your removable pole to become permanent, you use lag screws, NOT regular screws. I'm not sure about x, but I have mounted MANY ps removable poles. You actually mount the base and the top plate with one lag screw.
HOWEVER, in most homes you would be mounting into ONE 2×4 or 2×6. The lag screw is I believe 3/8", meaning you'll be drilling a giant hole into a 2 inch section of roof tract. This would make WAY to much tork and you could end up splitting the board..thus your ceiling. Sucky thing is, you wouldn't notice until to late.
I would suggest NOT doing this. If you want to mount in a home, you need to be able to get to the rafters and make a bridge of sorts. I have directions somewhere on how to do this, I'll have to find the link and post later. But generally it will need to be done either in a garage with exposed rafters or on the top floor of a house with attic/rafter access

So ur saying prob not a good idea to use on a pole n the basement….even if its a LM like they say u can use it on? It appears this is a new product, should b interesting on the reviews then. Thanks!

Well, that depends, can you see the base floor joists? Do you have drywall ceiling or drop ceilings?
One way that you could do it, it would be ugly, but useful, is to place a 2×6 across at least 2 joists. Mounting them into the joists, THEN mounting the pole to the 2×6. THis should spread the load across 2 ft at least,
I don't know how LM can be mounted permanently, or if it can be done. From what I understand about LM is that it's very nature is not permanent, only the little plate thingy you push it in to.
The girl that does pole aria stayed with me while we were in vegas and we talked a lot about it. I saw it in person. It's pretty interesting, and will work beautifully on a permanent pole.
But there is a lot of torque at the top, so you need to make sure it's secure, checking it daily.
