  • NEW!!! StudioVeena Pole by Lil Mynx

    Posted by Webmaster on April 4, 2013 at 4:52 pm

    Working closely with Lil Mynx we have developed a pole based on their industry leading 45mm Rotator dance pole that is specially designed for polers of all skill levels. 

    The StudioVeena Pole installs easily and can be put up or taken down in mere seconds. The ceiling bracket is small, only requires a single screw and doubles as a plant hook. 

    The new Lil Mynx rotator base makes it as easy as pressing a button to switch from static to spinning and nearly as easy to convert back to static. There is no more fumbling with pins or screws. 

    A new 2 stage powdercoating process provides a unique grip experience you'll find nowhere else and a beautiful metallic purple color no other pole can match.

    It says 'US only,' but does that mean that $45 shipping and handling is only for US, or is it the pole is only for sale in the US?
    Also, how's the grip on the powder coat? I often find powder coating to be quite grippy, almost uncomfortably so when it comes to spins!

    And, finally, is the colour more red, towards the pink end of things, or more blue, towards the violet end of things?

    Since I can't seem to get the conversion kit for my pole, I'm considering saving up for a new Lil Mynx, and I do love me some purple…

    Runemust we can ship to Canada for $100 (I would send you a paypal request for an extra $55).

    Grip is a personal thing as can be attested by many of forum posts here.  The grip is definitely different than the standard little mynx but whether its grippier, more grippy, or less grippy is going to depend on your body chemistry.

    What I can tell you is that we had a circus performer playing on one of our demo units and he said it was the best finish he'd ever worked on.

    The color is very purple, more towards the violet I would say.  It's a beautiful metallic finish.

    Well, webby, I'd say you've sold me pretty thoroughly 😉 Now, I just have to dig up the money for it!

    Lets hope my job gives me full time hours for this summer… or else I'll have to wait till September to get it! But, now that I know it exists and sounds beautiful, I know my goals 🙂

    I think it's on the Red end of the purple spectrum, I guess Webmaster and I see things differently! It's basically our logo color.

    im looking to buy a pole next month or so. What would you say is the major difference between this pole and an x pole?

    Athena30 both brands are great poles! But I love how FAST the SV pole goes up and down. I hoop a lot in my pole space and to be able to take it down and put it back up in seconds is soooo great. I like the powder coated grip for my body and the switch from spin to static is fast. Oh and it's light so moving it around isn't any trouble.

    I just had occasion to try lil mynx poles for the first time, they are installed at Maureen’s BLUSH pole fitness in Milwaukee (West Allis), WI. She has lil mynx poles that use the ceiling extender mounts on her hardwood dance floor, using the rubber pad. I felt completely secure on the poles. Joel (poledancefan) also uses those poles with no problem and he is not a small guy- taller than me (5’8″) with big muscles. He must weigh 250lbs though I’m bad at guessing weight, I’d say he’s easily over 200lbs. I weigh about 120, but at my height I can and have taken poles down just from the leverage a taller body can exert on a pole in extended spins and such.
    Anyway, the lil mynx poles at Blush have been there for quite some time. She has students of ALL body types and sizes and everyone uses those poles securely. I am a pole safety stickler, those who know me know that I have NOT been shy or quiet about saying what I did not like about some poles I have used before and lil mynx poles are sturdy poles, some of the least expensive on the market, that will securely hold you for years if installed correctly.

    The only caveat I would say is that, for permanent mounting I see the value in using their four-point mout, as I know some others have had issues with having the home-mount that is single point work loose after some time, even if screwed into a joist. But I think that’s a matter of checking your rigging regularly, which we should all do, even those of us with permanent one-piece poles. 🙂

    Also I’ll say the only instances I know of where people had the single point mount come loose when screwed into a joint, that was with YEARS of having the pole in the same spot.

    My first pole was a hot pink LM.  The old instructions used to have you tightening the pole further while it was up.  What this would do is score your ceiling where the white piece sits and then with time that piece of drywall would break loose creating a gap and your poel would come crashing down.  LM has since changed their installation directions to where you no longer spin the pole to make it tighter while it is up.  I have not heard of a single person who has destroyed their ceiling since they changed their instructions.

    That said, I had mine installed in my garage directly in a joist (no drywall ceiling in my garage) for over 3 years without it ever shifting or coming down on me.  I am 5'8" and weigh anywhere between 150 and 165.  Mine was installed on top of a piece of panelling that sat on top of of concrete.  I did not use the pad, just the feet.  As with all poles, if you follow the directions for installation and check them regularly you should be fine.

    As another side note, S Factor has had LM poles in their studios since day 1.  6 years ago you had PS and LM and PS were ridiculously expensive poles (their old wooden stage poles used to be $1500!!).

    I'm glad to hear they fixed the problem with the mount! If that applied only to their older model then anything I said about the mount working loose obviously is totally irrelevant to their new model. I also really like how their new spin mechanism looks. Seems like they may have found a simpler way to do it that looks like it eliminates a lot of the other problems with other spin/static mechanisms, like you can't loose pins or screws and there doesn't appear to be any way to damage the pole by "improperly" doing the spin/static switch because there's nothing you're screwing in. And it looks like a fast, easy change.
