X-pert Review
-
ok so im having a small problem i bought the new x-pert pole and the smallest size ceiling it will fit is 7 foot 4 inches…my ceilings only 7 foot everywhere in my house. My husband has measured every room to try to get me to smile due to the fact the day i got my pole i had two wisdome teeth pulled. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif Is there anything i can do to get my pole to work for my short ceilings?????

Hi DustyFox…you can fit a 7 foot ceiling (or any ceiling as short at 6.5 feet) by purchasing a 750 mm extension. You would replace the Main B section (which is 1000mm) with the 750 and just use that and Main A section.
If you like, instead you can purchase a 500mm extension (which is cheaper) and add your 250m to it. This way you have some flexibility if you ever want a pole slightly higher than 9 feet as a 500mm will take you up to 10.5 feet.

Hi Empyrean https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I tried the 125mm again tonight and the same thing happend. We tried letting the ceiling give like you said but it would not budge and i didn’t want to force it. So would a 100mm fit? and do you think XPole would swap a 100mm for a 125mm? Do you have a picture of a 100mm? and what inch is the 100mm? I really hope a 100mm fits because if it doesnt i won’t be able to use my xpert https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif because too much of the adjuster rod is out and the pole is not stable.
please help https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Louisax…I am fairly certain Xpole will not swap a 100 for a 125. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I don’t have a picture of it but it’s honestly just like the 125 but a bit smaller. You could see a pic on their website but to give you an idea, the 125 mm is about 4.92 inches. A 100mm is 3.94 inches.
So I would think this would be just right if the 125mm put it right up to the ceiling but just a bit too tight for your comfort. This gives you nearly an extra inch of clearance.

Sorry I haven’t been watching this topic.. but just to let you guys know I rang xpole as I used the smaller extension and there was bit of the adjustr rod showing, they said this is fine as their guidelines are leaving extra safety margin. (When I used the bigger extension, couldn’t get the pole up without the dome catching) It means that on my pole you can see a teeny weeny bit of the adjuster rod but if I do grab that area, I dont even feel it.
Just in case this applies to you guys!

Hi Louis…so your ceiling is lower than 8 feet?
Anyway…if your pole CAN fit with the 125 and you can get the pole in place with the dome remaining flush against the ceiling (so that that one edge of the dome is not stuck higher than the other) then I would try to set it up this way.
!I have recieved and tried the 100mm. the top adjuster unit wouldn’t go all the way in the 100mm extension, it stopped half way. I cannot understand this as the top adjuster unit went in all the way on the 125mm extension so it shouldnt be any different. I have emailed xpole and sent them pictures and they say that they will get there techincal technichians to check it out to see what has happened. it has to be the xjoint. I did use the correct one – 180mm aswell.
did this happen with your 100mm? does the top adjuster unit fit all the way in on the extension?
-
HI! I presume you are using the correct Xjoint?
There are 3 Xjoints with each pole…two are 200mm long and one is 180 mm long. The 180 MUST be used for 125mm and 100mm extensions.
Now…the 180mm joint has the holes and locking pin slightly off-centered. That is – they are CLOSER to one end of the joint. THAT end must be the end that goes inside of the 125/100mm extension.
Basically, if it doesn’t fit, turn the Xjoint around between the top extension and the 100mm joint.
NOTE: There is an arrow engraved on the side of the 180mm joint pointing in the direction of the shorter end or the end that goes into the 125/100mm extension but it is SO faint you need to look really close to see it!)
(not sure about the 100mm extension but the HOLES on the 125mm extension are offset so you may need to turn that around as well)

Now that I’ve re-read this part, if you are talking about the adaptor that fits into the very top of the pole to insert into the dome…then I think you need to follow the second part of the above directions and turn the 100mm extension around.

Thank you for the quick reply https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
the 100mm extension is on the end where the hex screw is slightly off centered (the end where the arrow is pointing). This is how it looks;

The large arrow etched on the 180mm X-Joint, do you have that pointing up towards the ceiling?

yep https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif i just dont understand it. the top adapter unit will not go fully into the extension. the xjpoint is stopping it.

Try flipping the 100mm extension over and put it on the other way…in other words the end that is currently at the top, should now be toward the pole and the end toward the pole should now be toward the ceiling.
I’m thinking that the holes for the hex screws won’t line up since it appears they are aligned now based on the picture but I’m just trying to come up with suggestions as that worked for me….though that was with a 125mm extension.
