Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike

Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike, precise ground spike for macro photography and outdoor shooting

With the Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike you don’t just get a simple ground spike, but a cleverly engineered tool for macro photography, nature photography, and all situations where your Plamp Stake really needs to stand rock solid. The PP-310 was specifically developed as a custom screwdriver that serves as a stable anchor for the Wimberley Plamp Stake and simply gives you one less thing to worry about out in the field.

Instead of laboriously trying to push something into the ground, you screw the Ground Spike into the surface in a controlled way. This way the Plamp Stake sits securely without you unnecessarily tearing up or damaging the ground. Especially on delicate meadows, flower beds, or in your own garden, that’s a real advantage. We’d almost say this piece is something like the small, inconspicuous hero in the background of your setup.

Robust shaft made of high-strength steel for hard ground

The shaft of the Wimberley PP-310 is made of high-strength steel and is designed precisely for use in very firm or rocky ground. If you’ve ever tried to push a thin rod into dry, compacted soil, you know how annoying that can be. With the Ground Spike you literally screw your way in and fully exploit the stability of the steel.

At the same time, the shaft remains compact and handy. No unnecessary gimmicks, no frills. Just a solid, reliable anchor for your Plamp Stake that won’t bend or wear out after many uses in the field. For macro photographers who are on the move a lot, that’s a pretty reassuring feeling.

Ergonomic handle for controlled screwing into the ground

The ergonomic handle of the Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike is shaped so that you can apply plenty of force without ruining your hands. Even when the ground is hard, you can screw the ground spike in with control and without major contortions. After a few hours outside, every little comfort improvement counts.

Thanks to the screwing motion, the Ground Spike penetrates deeply without simply breaking up the soil. That’s not only more practical, but also gentler on the environment. Especially in nature photography, macro shots of plants or insects, and sensitive habitats, this is a welcome side effect.

Flexible use, on its own or with PP-320 extension tube

The Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike works both as a standalone ground spike and in combination with the optionally available Wimberley PP-320 extension tube. Used solo, you get a low, very stable base, ideal for ground-level macro photography, flowers, mushrooms, insects, or small objects.

If you need more height, you simply screw the PP-320 extension tube in between and have a taller setup in no time. This lets you use the Plamp Stake for larger plants, lightweight reflectors, or background elements without having to improvise every time. This modular solution makes the Ground Spike a versatile tool for your outdoor equipment.

Made in USA, solid manufacturing quality for continuous use

The Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike is manufactured in the USA and designed for durable, practice-oriented use. Not a wobbly cheap solution, but a deliberately robust accessory that works perfectly with the Plamp System. Anyone who knows Wimberley knows that a lot of nature photography experience has gone into this.

Thanks to the precise manufacturing, the Ground Spike fits perfectly with the Plamp Stake and the PP-320 extension tube. This ensures a coherent, play-free system that you can use in the field without much readjustment. Set it up once, tighten it, shoot. That’s how it should be.

Ideal for macro photography, nature photography, and outdoor setups

Whether you want to stabilize backlit flowers, hold a small reflector, or pull distracting blades of grass out of the frame, the Wimberley PP-310 Plamp Ground Spike forms the stable base for your Plamp Stake. Especially in macro photography, where even a light breeze can blur the subject, a securely anchored support arm is worth its weight in gold.

We see the Ground Spike as a typical “always-with-you item” in your backpack. It takes up hardly any space, weighs little, and makes your life outdoors noticeably easier. Instead of constantly searching for improvised mounting options, you have a clean, reproducible solution for your outdoor shoots with the PP-310.
