Ideal for macro photography, The Ground Plamp from Wimberley is an articulating arm with a maximum extension of 27". A ground spike stored in the Plamp's protective sheath allows you to position it by pushing it into the ground. It has a durable, nylon Plamp Clip at one end with a thumbscrew for precise adjustment from light to heavy pressure. The clip's jaws have an arched recess for cylindrical objects, foam jaw inserts for delicate objects and notches to grip reflectors or diffusers up to 12" in any position and up to 20" with positioning limitations.
