Wimberley Plamp II Articulating Plamp - Stable Macro Support

In this review of the Wimberley Plamp II the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, well-built articulating arm for photographers who need steady support for small subjects and accessories. The Plamp II earns its place in a kit by reliably holding wind-blown plants and delicate macro subjects while allowing small positional adjustments, and it is especially useful in studio and field macro work. The review finds the redesigned clip gives confident hold ability for reflectors, diffusers and small items without bulky stands getting in the way.

Key Features

• Articulating arm: The arm lets you position a subject with fine adjustments to improve composition and film plane alignment.
• Large clamp: The black and orange clamp secures to a tripod leg, Plamp Stake, or any suitable solid object for a stable anchor in the field or studio.
• Redesigned small clip: The smaller gray clip confidently holds reflectors, diffusers, flowers and other small items without crushing delicate subjects.
• Wind stabilization: Use the Plamp II to steady wind-blown plants so macro shots stay sharp when a tripod alone is not enough.
• Studio utility: It doubles as a compact support for reflectors, lens shades and product photography tasks where space is limited.
• Made in USA: Assembled in Charlottesville, Virginia, with a long 10 year warranty for peace of mind.

Who It's For

The Plamp II is ideal for nature and macro photographers who frequently work with small, movable subjects such as flowers, leaves, insects and product details where a precise hold matters. Studio photographers who need a small, unobtrusive support for reflectors or lens shades will also find it useful.

Photographers who need heavy-duty support for large accessories or who expect to clamp awkward thick branches may want a larger clamp or dedicated boom arm instead; the Plamp II is focused on small to medium items and precision positioning rather than heavy loads.
