Wimberley PP-400 Ground Plamp - Made in USA

For articulated plastic arms I think they are a bit pricey. That is too bad because if they were sold with a price discount for the more you buy I would buy a few more.For macrophotography I need to have lights hitting surfaces with different intensities and different angles. I need filtered lights, bright lights, diffuse lighting, crinkled aluminum foil reflectors, etc. These arms are sturdy, flexible, and long enough to do the job. So far they stay where I put them. I say "so far" because I don't know how much twisting and bending they will take before they start to flop. Maybe they won't, they are just holding very small weights.Right now they are my go-to holders for reflectors. I do like the clamps at the reflector holding end. They screw tight, and can be nice and tight so a filter or reflector doesn't shift with the foam rubber jaws. The other end is just a spring clamp. I have already had a problem with them shifting a little when I move the arm. But they are versatile and easy to move from one area to another. The other possibility is that I somehow incorporate a "C" clamp to replace the spring clamp. That would be able to really tighten down on the edge of a table of vertical post.I would recommend them, especially if time is money for you.

I do floral and nature photography. I work alone, so this is like having an assistant. I work outside and in a studio. I often clamp it on fences, tables, chairs, light stands and my tripod to hold flowers steady or my reflectors/diffusers. That side of the Plamp is strong enough to hold it solidly in place. I purchased the stake with it, but haven't used that yet. The tip of the clamp that holds the subject is a soft rubber so I can easily screw it down just enough to hold the most delicate of subjects like flower stems so they don't get pinched. There is a notch in the very corner that holds reflectors/diffusers and heartier subjects like branches and stems. I just screw down that end as tight as I need it to be.My only problem was the clamp side that holds my subjects has fallen off on occasion when I've tried to rotate it into position. After a few times of it falling off, I've learned to manipulate it so that doesn't happen. I think this is meant to be removed if you want to add extensions and then you reattach it. The stem/arm part of the Plamp is very stiff, sturdy, easily manipulated and stays in place.Overall, I don't know how I lived without this. I know people who've made their own using foam coated wire, but this Plamp's design is great and serves its purpose very well. I'm sure I'll purchase another one in the future.

This handy gadget acn help hold many things. I use it with photography reflectors when reaching a longer distance than I can reach. Constructed well and very easily bendable. Convenient to roll up into a camera bag or a purse. The clip seems strong enough to hold to a tripod if necessary.

I bought this product a few weeks ago, and finally managed to get to a local botanical garden this past week. The Plamp II worked perfectly, clamped to my tripod. I used a remote, had the mirror locked up, and the anti-vibrating feature on my lens turned off. With that combination, absolutely nothing moved and I got what I consider to be the best macro image of a flower from a cannonball tree that I've ever managed to make, despite trying several times in years past. It also worked flawlessly on a delicate orchid plant. I couldn't be more delighted.I also bought the Plamp stake, but didn't need to use it. I see no reason why results won't be equally satisfying when I choose to use the stake instead of my tripod leg.The Plamp seems perfectly strong, while maintaining flexibility, to allow me to control the shot. What else can one want in a device like this? I'd buy this again in a heartbeat if I ever lost this one.By the way, no one has offered me anything to give my opinion and relate my experience with this product.

I do product and macro photography and this has been a game changer for me. I just bought another one and will buy more as time goes on. I use them to hold small pieces of white foam core to work as reflectors and black foam core as flags. I use an extra light stand to mount them on and the possibilities are endless. The arm holds more that I thought, but nothing very heavy. The big clamp is well designed with multiple mounting points for attaching on a variety of stands and surfaces. I also like the way the small clamp can rotate so I can fine tune the reflector without moving the whole arm. I balked at the price and held off buying, but they have proven to be worth the price!

Was purchased as a gift for my wife. Works very well. She uses it for holding plants as well as small lights for macro photography. Keep in mind it does have a relatively small opening maximum. She lost the little black rubber band and they sent her 2 replacements the very same day. Very good customer service.

I've already used this more than I thought I would. It works great outside, I've also used it curled on a table to hold flowers for a still life! It's really sturdy but totally flexible. I felt kind of weird spending the $$ on a plastic clamp, but I'm SO glad I've got it. One issue: when it starts to rain and you want to grab your gear and run inside, it's easy to grab ther plamp and leave the stake in the ground. I'm going to make a tether for it out of plastic lanyard cord so I can't leave it behind (again!)

Alles bestens!

I had tried to save money by buying a cheaper product elsewhere. It was a mistake because the clamp was not substantial. I replaced it with another but it was very heavy and, although it was good for supporting heavier objects, it was not particularly gentle.This one is perfect; particularly for supporting plants when photographing them in breezy conditions. The clamp at one end is strong enough to clamp to an object such as a tripod leg or a branch while the one at the other end is gentle enough to hold delicate objects without damaging them yet powerful enough to support something like a small light. It is well made. I also bought one that can be placed in the ground with an integral spike. I would strongly recommend this clamp to photographers.

It did seem a little strange at first realising that the “ground spike” was in fact a screwdriver but it works. Being a plant photographer it provides a great solution to carefully hold flowers in position when there is a breeze. It is very useful to be able to secure the clamp to the ground by using the spike (screwdriver). It is sturdy enough to hold small lights. The clamp is gentle enough not to damage plant stems yet strong enough to properly support heavier items such as a reflector or small light. Although I do not use it everyday I have found this to be an invaluable purchase. It is also well made.
