Wimberley The Plamp II

The Plamp II: A stable set of hand on-set

The Plamp II from Wimberley is a 58 cm articulating Loc-Line arm designed to help photographers position objects and tools in a macro shoot.

The Plamp II has a load capacity of about 220 g, depending on the positioning of the arm, and will easily clamp to tripod legs or similar objects 2 to 3.5 cm in diameter. This holds it securely while the thumbscrew clip holds the object. The nylon clip is extremely versatile and has foam jaw inserts for holding delicate materials and objects like flowers. A holding notch fits the outer rim of diffusers and reflectors and an arched recess allows for the gripping of round objects. The thumbscrew activated clip is very strong and precise and opens to 2.2 cm. The Plamp II is extremely portable and weighs only about 200 g.
