Wimberley Plamp II PP-200

Product Information

The average helping hand usually has a couple of crocodile clips attached on a frame-like structure, so it can be used to support things like polystyrene cups if you use those for your extreme macro diffusion, as I do. You can use the plamp to grip a variety of objects because of several different clamping areas. The pressure from the different gripping areas are all precisely controlled by a thumbscrew to get just the right amount of grip. So we make do, and repurpose other objects to achieve our goal. There are a couple of ways I go about it myself, but no doubt there are plenty of other (better!) ways.

The Plamp. It’s a clamp, for plants. Along with having the best name of any photographic accessory on the market, Wimberley’s Plamp II is the ideal tool for stabilising wind-blown macro subjects such as wildflowers. Finally there is a way to stabilise those aggravating windblown subjects! The Plamp II is an easily positionable arm which can be used to hold macro subjects and other useful objects. One end of the Plamp clamps to your tripod while the other grasps the object. One day in the field with a Plamp (or two) and you will begin to realise its full potential. The Wimberley Plamp II is a must for any macro enthusiast. MoreI experimented with one straw length and two straw lengths and what I found was that I could wind the pair of pipe cleaners around the lens and angle it so that it was not in the shot to hold the straw out straight and then if I was taking a picture of a flower then wind the other end cleaner around the stem or somesuch. In macro photography, the close focusing distances and narrow apertures that are often required can lead to available light being a precious commodity, so why not make your life easier and your images more dramatic by adding some of your own! The helping hands I've seen are all made out of bright shiny metal so you'll have to watch out for reflections. For what its worth, I have had some success combining the Plamp with "chenille" from craft supply stores; what we used to call "pipe cleaners". I use the Plamp to hold the chenille, then carefully wrap the chenille around the the plant stem or whatever. Frankly, this doesn't fully solve the vibration problem, but it is easier to reposition the flower (or whatever) than having to move the articulated segments of the Plamp. I also found that even the small clamp on the end of the Plamp would tend to crush non-woody stems, and I don't like doing that. So the chenille avoids that problem as well. This is a review of the Wimberley Plamp II Macro Clamp. It's a rather curious looking camera accessory and you're probably wondering how in the world you would use one. Simply put, it's acts like you have a third hand available to do your photography.

I am adding it to the equipment list on all the workshops I conduct where wildflower photography is anticipated."

The segmented arm of your Plamp is approximately 19" long. If you do not need all this length, we encourage you to shorten your Plamp. To shorten the arm, bend the arm sharply until it snaps in two (do not worry, you will not hurt the Plamp), remove a length and reconnect the pieces.
