Wimberley Plamp II PP-200

Product Information

This lens could also double up as a fantastic portrait optic, thanks to its nine-blade circular aperture which produces beautiful bokeh in the out-of-focus areas of a scene. 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 general vibes of watching a livestream from quarantine, often while partying at home, stemming from the recurring presence of plants & lamps on DJ livestreams.

Yes, it has a bit of a weird name, but it's a product that works really well. I have a couple: they hold up my diffusion inside in the studio and they keep windblown grass still when I'm working outside. Whether you use your Wimberley Plamp as a clamp for macro photography, a third hand for photography, or as a flexible clamp for another purpose, it's an interesting gadget you can have fun with. I've used it this way more than once to see what I was doing while fixing a drain pipe under the kitchen sink.

The most common use for the photographer's clamp is to hold a flower in place, but you can use it to hold any small object in the prefect position for a close-up photo. The aluminium Alta Pro 263T can safely support professional setups weighing up to 7kg, and extends to a top working height of 165cm, making it well-suited for landscape shooting as well as macro. It's just one of those things, you'll need to have some widget or tool to hold up your diffusion or reflector in the field but there is a dearth of dedicated product for this purpose out on the market.

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.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. More The second option is to extend one of the legs of your tripod toward your subject and then attach the Plamp further down the leg of your tripod and thus closer to your subject. If you’re looking for a truly budget way to enter the world of macro photography, look no further. Available in a wide variety of filter thread sizes and mount fits, this simple metal ring allows you to reverse-attach any optic with a matching thread size to your camera’s body. I 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.

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. If you need more reach (e.g. if you are using a 180mm or 200mm macro lens), you have three options. The first option is to attach the Plamp to an object other than your own tripod. The second option is to extend one of the legs of your tripod toward your subject and then attach the PLamp further down the leg of your tripod and thus closer to your subject. The third option is to extend the length of your Plamp by adding extra links to its arm. The trade-off to adding extra length to your Plamp is that it becomes less rigid.

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. When you're in real close with macro photography, the slightest movements are magnified. The solution is that you just have to be patient when making those small adjustments to get the precise composition you're after. The helping hands I've seen are all made out of bright shiny metal so you'll have to watch out for reflections. Note that neither plants nor lamps need to necessarily be both present nor at all for the general vibes of plamping to be felt. Pants are discouraged and are often cited as being a part of the plamping vibes and definition although not mandatory or necessary for plamping to commence.
