I just grabbed 4 of these for about $10 each .... Amazon

They work great and comes with stands if desired for floor.

If you go that route I'd put 1 and 1 high and 1 and 1 low. Those little osc. fans blow really well.

So Ive been trying to look for fans for 4x4 Apollo horticulture tent... but all I see are wall mounted fans? I don’t mind using a wall mounted fan but how would I set it up? I don’t wanna drill holes in my tent or the wall? I purchased a clip on fan thinking it would clip onto the poles but it just falls right off? Any suggestions on fans ? Don’t want to do a standing oscillating fan only because I don’t think I’ll have enough room considering I’m using 5 gallon smart pots with six plants.

I buy the clip ones but instead of attaching the clip I run a zip tie through the hole an attach it to the pole and another zip tie up top attached to the fan shroud you can flip it upside down and do the same thing for under canopy air movement

So I need to figure out the best clip fans on the market.. My tent has 22mm poles and the secret jardin monkey fans which seem to be just as bad as vivosun, only go up to 21mm (or 3/4" poles")

The vivo sun have nothing but terrible reviews... Are pole fans a waste of money?? I was thinking of getting the vivosuns with a warranty but then I read a ton of bad reviews, even on the newer version.

Everything to it stopping working and possibly being a fire hazard. Any insight people? I would love these but If i have to I will make some sort of pole mount for my mini tower fans.

I don't want a fire in my house but a good oscillating clip fan would make my setup much neater and easier to adjust. I use a gorilla 5x5 with HLG 288 quantum's... all the reviews say save your money.

Ok thank you very much for your input. I'll hold off on buying them then.. Even if its 10$ for a 4 year warranty I don't need that hassle if ones gonna break on 3 months

Anyone else with the white clip fans still have them oscillating? And how long?

Not much help,but I just copped a 2 pack of the white blade vivosun pole fans,on a few members suggestion in this thread.Like you I was skeptical due to all the bad reviews. Some of the reviews are from the first bad batch.Vivosun seems to have upgraded on some parts. Mine are going on 3 weeks
No issues...yet.

I think its odd because the vivosun product claims the ones with the blue fins are the "upgraded" version but everyones saying the white ones are.
I would really like a few of them because my 12" wall mount fan is too powerful. I would much rather 4 times as many fans, on a slower fan speed..

Let me know how they work out please! Anyone else have good luck with pole fans? And how long have you had them working?

They all suck some catch on fire some dont...someone was asking about the small tent poles there should be a little clip you can clip under the fan that help hold it up

Clip fans are a waste of money.........get an oscillating TOWER fan. If u plan on growing 4+ plants.

This arrives tomorrow, clip fans don't move much air and deform the tent.
