So, what is a Plamp you say? A plamp is an articulating arm used to hold macro subjects and other useful objects. One end clamps to your tripod leg, a tree limb or suitable stick, while the other grasps the object you wish to steady or hold. The most obvious application of the Plamp is for steadying wind-blown plants, the bane of every macro photographer.

A host of other applications will present themselves as you use the Plamp. You can gently bend that perfect flower into the perfect backlit position or color composition. You can make minute adjustments which will position your subject in the film plane while retaining the perfect background.

The Plamp can also be used to move background objects, bend back obstructing foliage, or to hold small objects, such as lightweight reflectors and light diffusers, lens caps, remote trigger cords, etc.
