Wimberley Plamp II PP-200

Product Information

Secondly, like anything else made of plastic, it does have a useful life span that will be shorter than something made of metal. Your Plamp will loosen up after many uses. How much of a problem is this for you? That depends on how frequently you use it. My plamp is still stiff as a board. If you use yours a couple of hundred time, yes, it may loosen up to the point where you'll have to get a replacement. A helping hand is a cheap little holding tool used in soldering that you can buy from any DIY or electronics hobbyist shop. 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. A helping hand repurposed from the world of soldering to the world of photography. A cheap and cheerful diffuser holder, but you can of course also use one of these to mount your specimens. The rotation joints at the ends are a bit fiddly to adjust mid-flow, and I removed the magnifying glass as it just gets in the way. For what its worth, I have had some success combining the Plamp with "chenille" from craft supply stores; what we used to call "pipe cleaners". I use the Plamp to hold the chenille, then carefully wrap the chenille around the the plant stem or whatever. Frankly, this doesn't fully solve the vibration problem, but it is easier to reposition the flower (or whatever) than having to move the articulated segments of the Plamp. I also found that even the small clamp on the end of the Plamp would tend to crush non-woody stems, and I don't like doing that. So the chenille avoids that problem as well.
