Wimberley PP-200 TWIN Plamp unassembled

Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp unassembled, your flexible dual support arm for macro and nature photography

Sometimes out in the field you’re missing exactly one helping hand – or better, two. That’s exactly where the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp unassembled comes in: a variable plant holder and accessory holder that has your back in macro photography while you fully concentrate on composition, light, and the decisive moment.

What’s inside the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp

The name sounds a bit technical, but the idea behind it is pretty simple: you get a cleverly combined flex arm with plant clips that behaves like an extra assistant. Just quiet, patient, and without coffee breaks.

The core of the combination consists of:

• 1 × Wimberley PP-200 Plamp II, the main flex arm and central support arm
• 1 × Wimberley PP-222 Plamp Extension, an extension that gives you extra reach and flexibility
• 1 × Wimberley PP-211 plant clip, a specially shaped plant clamp for leaves, stems, small twigs, and other delicate bits
• 1 × Loc-Line Y-connector, the “splitter” that turns one arm into two
• 1 × Loc-Line reducer, the adapter that brings everything neatly together

The bottom line is a Twin Plamp system: a dual flex arm that lets you control a subject, reflector, diffuser, or small accessories at the same time. Supplied unassembled so you can build the set exactly the way it fits your workflow.

Plant holder, flex arm, accessory holder – a compact multitool

In practice, the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp is much more than just a plant clamp. You use it as a flexible support arm to:

• gently fix leaves or blades of grass so they don’t keep blowing into the frame
• slightly rotate or minimally lift blossoms to get a calmer background
• position small reflectors or folding diffusers precisely
• hold insect perches, thin branches, or stalks in a controlled way without damaging them
• keep light accessories such as grey cards, color targets, or mini LEDs in position

Because the flex arm is made of segmented elements, you can bend, twist, and adjust it in almost any direction. Once set, it generally stays where you want it, without that annoying “springing back” you get from cheap support arms.

Supplied unassembled – and that’s actually an advantage

You might first think: unassembled, seriously? But that’s exactly what makes sense. You can put the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp together the way you really need it. Shorter, longer, symmetrical, asymmetrical – depending on the application.

We think this is especially practical if you shoot different setups: sometimes very close to the ground in the forest, sometimes at the edge of a field with a taller tripod, sometimes in an improvised home studio on the kitchen table. You simply adapt the flex arm to your typical subjects instead of struggling with a rigid standard solution.

Designed specifically for macro photography and nature shots

Especially in macro photography, the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp is a real game changer. You know how it is: a gust of wind, the subject moves, depth of field in the millimeter range, and the shot is ruined. With a stably positioned plant holder, you reduce exactly these disruptive factors.

Typical outdoor use cases:

• fixing a flower stem while you’re shooting wide open
• gently pushing distracting blades of grass out of the frame in the background
• holding a diffuser to soften harsh sunlight
• positioning a small reflector to brighten up shadow areas

And in an indoor setup, the flex arm works just as well: as a support arm for artificial flowers, product details, small decorative elements, or anything else that constantly slips out of place.

Gentle grip instead of a crude clamp

The included Wimberley PP-211 plant clamp is not just any crocodile clip. It’s designed to grip leaves and fine stems as gently as possible. That’s important when you’re photographing live plants or delicate subjects.

You can use the clamp to:

• rotate leaves minimally without creasing them
• gently stabilize stems without leaving visible pressure marks
• hold small paper or cardboard backgrounds
• secure light fabrics, foils, or color filters

Of course, you should still use a bit of finesse, but the design helps you avoid doing more damage than necessary by accident.

Y-connector and reducer – the trick behind the “Twin”

The Loc-Line Y-connector is the heart of the twin system. It splits the flex arm into two branches so you can use two support points at the same time. For example: one clamp holds the plant, the other carries a diffuser. Or one side holds a reflector while the other pushes distracting blades of grass out of the frame.

The Loc-Line reducer ensures that the different segments fit together neatly. Technically unspectacular, but practically indispensable so that everything sits stable and without play. This creates a continuous, durable support arm that feels like it’s made from a single piece.

Flexibly combinable with the Wimberley Plamp family

The PP-200 Twin Plamp is part of the larger Wimberley Plamp family. If you already use a single Plamp or other components, you can often extend, supplement, or rebuild them. The system is designed to be modular, not a one-off isolated solution.

For you, this means: you can gradually assemble your own kit. Today a Twin Plamp as a plant holder, tomorrow perhaps additional flex arms or more plant clamps to build more complex setups. Especially if you regularly shoot macro, nature details, or small still lifes, this system grows sensibly with your requirements.

Who benefits most from the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp unassembled

If you mostly shoot landscapes at 24 mm, you’ll probably need it less often. But as soon as you venture into close-up work, it becomes interesting. Typical users are:

• macro photographers working with insects, blossoms, or fungi
• nature photographers capturing fine details in the forest, in meadows, or in the garden
• hobby photographers who want to build a small, flexible “outdoor studio”
• content creators who want to light small products, decor, or DIY projects cleanly

We’d say: whenever you wish something in the frame would just stay still for once or remain in exactly that position, such a flex arm as a support arm or accessory holder makes surprisingly good sense.

Practical advantages at a glance

So you don’t have to search long, here are the key benefits of the Wimberley PP-200 Twin Plamp unassembled in compact form:

• dual flex arm thanks to Y-connector – two support points with just one system
• plant clamp designed specifically for leaves, stems, and delicate subjects
• versatile use as plant holder, support arm, and accessory holder
• supplied unassembled, allowing individually adjustable length and configuration
• stable, segmented construction that reliably holds its position
• ideal for macro photography, nature details, and small studio setups

In the end, it’s one of those tools you didn’t know you needed beforehand – and that then suddenly ends up in your backpack on almost every macro outing.
