They were built for audio use, pretty chromed metal things, and can hold a microphone, full sized speedlight (SB-800, 580 II, etc). This works because the flower and stem are now one as it were and you can now sort out the focus and depth of field.

Coming in strengths of +1, +2 and +4, these filters can be used individually or stacked up for even more dramatic magnification. Thanks to their light transmission rates of over 97%, the filters ensure sharp contrast and well-balanced colour, while they have also been coated to minimise flare and ghosting.Some helping hands also have a magnifying glass or soldering iron holder, but you can usually disassemble the things to remove the bits you don't need.

Use the Plamp to stabilize windblown subjects, adjust the position or angle of your subject, or move obstructing foliage. Here, I bent the Plamp to balance on a small table and hold a group of pencils in a good spot where the background was solid and the light was good. I've used it this way more than once to see what I was doing while fixing a drain pipe under the kitchen sink.TTL-compatible and with a modelling light built in, this fully featured device can turn a great macro image into a stunning one.

Get two of these gadgets together and you can connect them to form a makeshift, adjustable mini-tripod to handle some really unique photography situations. By attaching a piece of cardboard to the plamp's thumb screw clip, you can position it to eliminate lens flare. There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions.The Plamp is also strong enough to hold small reflectors or backgrounds in place, and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without the helping hand it offers in a diverse range of shooting situations. I did try just the pipe cleaners on their own and although they did work, the straw gives a bit of strength. One end of the Plamp attaches to your tripod and the other end clamps to the stem of the plant just below your picture area.
