Good that you found it. How did the joist-thing actually have impact on the spinning? (I've got a flat concrete ceiling so I never had to worry about it.)

I found that the stud finder I used wasn't terribly accurate too! I used a combination of that plus tapping a knuckle on the ceiling - until I realised that the ducts for the air conditioning would be between the joists, so I used that to assist me as well ;-) light fittings should be positioned where there are joists too, if that helps. I think joists are generally about 12 to 13 inches apart.
It def affected spinning, it wouldn't do as many revolutions cause it was so tight, it was so tight cause no joist there.... But had a Pole party at my girls house and the soon was incredible! So incredible that when we did a double we popped of the ceiling and crashed the Pole... Didn't have it tight enough! No one was seriously hurt me and my girl are a bit banged up but man to get some real spins!e had so much fun! Now i am def investing in that permanent mount though lol!
The spin was incredible...
