You will want to check it before each use. I don’t IMO think you used nearly enough cement. The dirt will shift over time. Also a threaded coupling is not designed for movement. The threads will wear out although if you used loctite/thread sealant it would help. Most of those are cast metal and prone to cracking from movement. Hope it works out for you safely.

Lina. Sorry. Time is up.
You don’t get paid for the post (I don’t get paid either even with my pretty yellow Star) or win the trip to Barbados. -
It was discussed briefly before here:
https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/install_xpole_in_mobile_home_20120206113115Not clear if its truly a mobile home or modular home but there is a difference. My Father built modular homes for a while back in the late 1980’s.
I seem to recall someone on a personal blog talked about it quite a few years ago. Could not find it through Google (found the link above) but basically she and others said you need to call the manufacturer of the mobile home. They are not all the same. Some used 2″x 2″ for the ceiling. Normal stick built houses are 2″ x 4″ and we know even those can have issues. If it uses a metal in the ceiling then you really do need to contact the manufacturer. Could be boxed, I-beam or channeled aluminum. -
In LA/Hollywood there is Be Spun. If you want to see Leigh Ann you have to schedule a bit in advance.

If you look at my drawing (never said I was an artist):
The distance from Subject (a pole in this case) to the mirror is “A”
The distance from Image to mirror is “B”
The distance from Camera to Mirror is “C”When taking a picture to the mirror, you add A & C.
You do not add all three (A,B & C) as someone suggested in a private email. The mirror is simply providing a Copy of the image going to the Subject as if you were standing where the mirror is.In the case of what Runemist34 provided if I understand correctly,
A = 4
B = 4
C = 5 (if she had a usable mirror)So the actual Distance to Subject might be (A)4 + (C)5 = 9′
Move the camera further from the mirror will not change A or B for her but the total
(A)4 + (C)9 = 13′
If the camera is closer to the mirror it could be:
(A)4 + (C)3 = 7′Of course you must still be able to get your camera to capture the entire image in the mirror whether from distance or camera. If the camera is too close to the mirror it still may not help.
So you could get an increase from using a mirror. It is not an arbitrary doubling, multiplier or percentage or magic. Depends on actual distances. A simple bit of measuring and math will give you an exact figure.The issue she and a lot of people deal with, has to do with the camera and lens.
Consumer Video cameras are geared towards distance. Video is about action & movement (sports, animals) and expected that will be some distance away. That is why nearly all give zoom capability and often the zoom is on & advanced by default. You need to manually “zoom out” to get subjects that are closer. The lenses usually are zoom or telephoto although their size starts as a normal or Prime lens.
Consumer still cameras and even mobile/cell phone cameras are primarily geared for still photography. The main consumer use is close portrait (yes and selfies!) or objects which tend to be closer Distance to Subject. They have limited zoom (and often no optical zoom) capability to better focus on near subjects. The other main use here is landscapes which are very wide. The lower end cameras & phones often have a wide-angle lens, smaller than prime.
For the more technology minded, yes the digital image sensor also affects this.
Could get further into Focal Length, Depth of Field and more but it requires even more math.
Hope this helps.

Not sure but maybe this one?:

Am in Kannapolis 30 minutes north of Charlotte. But looking for a get-together with other Veeners anywhere along the east-coast or even Midwest.

OK. So it seems Dirt & Sweat makes for an excellent grip aid. Now how can we bottle it?

You did not say which model you have or what exct parts you are missing so impossible to answering anyway. But why not call them directly? Their support is the best!

I’ll split it with you. It will be the distance to the mirror. The eye or camera is capturing light. There is no actual depth to a mirror. (Did they invent 3D mirrors yet?) Only reflecting light. The light of the object from the mirror’s surface.
-
It might appear that way to the eye but actually its not true.
The distance of an object from a mirror and the distance from image to mirror are the same.
There is a simple science experiment you can do. Hang a ruler a foot feet in front of the mirror. Then measure the distance of the image in the mirror. They will be exactly the same.Of course with concave and convex mirrors there is a change to the image. But presuming we are talking about flat mirrors.

Check your computer with something like malwarebytes after installing VSDC. I had tried it and it installed some nasty stuff including a browser hijack program even though I unselected what I could during the install.

Little snippet of Ashley Fox’s performance Friday night. A friend took it from the audience on her phone.
Couldn’t upload a video on here today so its on Youtube: -
OK. Just read the manual for your camera.
Make sure in the menu that you have Zoom set to “M” Manual. Automatic defaults to 32x zoom. Normal setting is Automatic.
After checking that, would use the menu (Func -> Zoom) to make sure the zoom is all the way out.
The zoom controls appear on the left side of the screen. Touch anywhere within the “T” area to Zoom Out.See if that helps. Also what is the distance between camera lens and your pole?

Doesn’t have to be in the Carolina’s. I have a car and not afraid (maybe a little) of getting on a plane. Would like to see if people have an area preference or where most are coming from. I also might have access to meeting locations for free or almost through a client.
Would be nice to meet the people on the other side of the monitor and share in real life pole info, skills & everything else. Maybe a mini-competition. If we had enough people interested could do other things, setup our own workshops or have one of the stars of the pole world attend.
