PiXAPRO
Professional Autopoles Set (235-400cm)
The PIXAPRO heavy duty studio set of 2 Autopoles can be used as a functional background support and grip system. They are held in by a unique locking mechanism, which exerts tension that securely wedges the rubber suction-cup ends in place. Our Autopoles are steplessly adjustable between 2.35m and 4m, and are capable of turning almost any room into a studio, without the need to damage your walls or ceilings.
Our Autopoles can support backgrounds, lights and grip arms, with the addition of G-clamps, hooks, and crossbars sold seperately. With a maximum load capacity of 15kg, the possibilities are almost endless.

Q&A’s
- The Bolt marked 1 (Please see the photograph below) can be loosened to enable you to adjust the height of the Autopole. Once you have adjusted the Autopole to the desired height (please ensure that you leave a gap of about 2-3cm from the ceiling) then tighten the nut marked 1 until it grips the upper tube firmly.
Bolt 2 should not be loosened under any circumstances, so if it feels a little on the loose side, please tighten with an Allen key
Once Bolt 1 has been tightened, Pull the handle down on the lever, (3) and until it locks, and then your Autopoles should be ready for use. If the lever doesn't go all the way down, you might need to shorten the Autopole by a few centimetres more, to give the Autopole enough room to extend and wedge itself between the ceiling and wall (or the two walls if being used horizontally).
- To extend the Autopoles, first pull the handle downwards, and the pull the handle outwards as shown in the video below. This will release the clamp mechanism. which will enable you to extend the pole to the length desired.
Once extended, please be sure to leave a small gap between the top of the pole and the ceiling or wall (about 1-1.5cm or so) which will give the Autopole enough room to extend and hold itself firmly in place once the handle has been returned to its “Locked” Position.
- You can use the Triple Expansion-Drive brackets with Autopoles, however, you will require 2-4 Super Convi Clamps and some screws (which you need to purchase from any good hardware retailer) to mount the brackets to a pair of Autopoles.
Pleas Note, You will need at least two Convi clamps to do this (one for each bracket), however if you are planning to use heavier backgrounds such as larg vinyls etc. we would recommend four convi-clamps.
- First locate the threaded screw holes located at the back of the convi-clamp(s).
- Get the Expansion Drive Bracket and line up the screw holes in the bracket with the once in the Conv-Clamps
- Use the screws to secure the Triple-Expansion Drive Brackets to the Convi Clamps
- Now you can mount your Triple Expansion Drive Brackets to your Autopoles using the Convi-Clamps to clamp onto the poles.

Floor to ceiling poles for backgrounds
Delighted with this product. I had to cut one pole 6 inches shorter as my studio has a slightly sloping ceiling but this was no problem. Quite large when not extended so will extend if your ceiling is quite high. Like the lever locking mechanism that is spring loaded so you cannot exert too much force on the ceiling. These came with two useful clamp on accessories that you can attach background or rim light flash heads and other item to quite simply. This is a good rival for the Manfrotto autopole system. Advantage over tripods is that you don't have to worry about the legs - there aren't any!
