i & id-light Mounts
Vipod & Stud-link
Code: ViP-35S
Supports i / id or other ViP Lights
on flat surfaces. Vipod can be
screwed, Gaffer-taped or
clamped to vertical sur-
faces. Stud-link is remov-
able. The Low Link can
also be mounted on the
Vipod by attaching the Low link to the Vipod
using the knob provided with the Lowel link.
Tota-mount
Code: T1-32
Tota-mount supports
any of the ViP fixtures
atop doors and parti-
tions. Doors can be
open or closed.The
light can be inside or
outside room, since swinging arm extends
past most door jambs. Tota-mount can be
flipped over and nailed to studio set walls or
Gaffer-taped to windows or tile, wood, metal
and other wall surfaces.
Mounting Tota-mount &
Vipod with Gaffer Tape
Use 12”of
Gaffer-tape
on each bar
on Tota
Mount or
side of Vipod
and burnish
down with a
coin. Avoid
wallpaper,
soft composition board or flaking paint. Never
attach to the ceiling with tape. Use original
Lowel Gaffer-tape. Many substitutes leave
adhesive residue or lack sufficient strength.
When properly attached, Tota-mount or Vipod
will support the Iight for days. However, on
dirty or poorly bonded surfaces, or with
improper or poorly applied tape, there is the
danger of the mount falling down and causing
serious damage. Check adhesion periodically.
Prevent direct light from overheating tape.
Remove tape when cool, by peeling back
diagonally. Tota-mount should not be used
with lights heavier than 3 lbs. (1.33 kg)
Tota-clamp
Code: T1-30
Tota-clamp supports most lights
that fit standard 5/8” studs.
Tota-clamp can be attached to
pipes, stands, or flat surfaces.
When clamping on furniture, use
thin wood or cardboard to avoid
marring. To rotate stud, turn wing
nut counterclockwise several
turns. The stud can be locked in any of four
positions; two for the 5/8” stud and two for
the end with the 1/4-20 tapped hole. A 1/4-20
screw can be used to lock on some micro-
phone yokes and various accessories.
Tota-clamp has two snap-in fittings
for Flexi-shafts.
Scissor Mount
Code: CM-20
Attaches i or id-lights, and V-
lights to dropped ceiling: Clamp X
bars of grid lock to T-Bar of ceiling.

tighten. Pro lights should use the
Grid Lock for dropped ceiling
mounting. Avoid mounting fixtures
directly over people unless secured
with a safety cord or cable.

Stands
The i & id-lights will lock onto stands with
top studs up to 5/8” (16mm). We recommend
the Uni-stand or Uni TO Stand, for most
applications. Where elevation greater than 7’

stands with Half or Full Poles. i or id-lights

Tota-clamp. Lowel-weights add to stand sta-
bility and should be used when appropriate.
