Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted

Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted, for when your subject simply won’t stay still

Sometimes a normal plant holder just isn’t enough anymore. Especially when the wind picks up, the blossom is a bit stubborn, or you want to work with millimetre precision in the macro range, you need more holding power. This is exactly where the Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted comes into play, a stable, surprisingly flexible support arm that holds your subjects right where you want them.

Fully assembled set, ready for immediate use out in the field

This set includes everything you need for a flex arm that’s ready to use outdoors right away. You get:

• 1 × Wimberley PP-400 as the base of the system
• 1 × Wimberley PP-220 clamp as a strong plant clip and accessory holder
• 1 × Loc-Line double connector for a stable connection of the elements

Everything is already assembled, you don’t have to piece anything together. Go outside, stick it in the ground, align the clamp, start shooting. As simple as it sounds.

More holding power than the classic Ground Plamp

The PP-211, which you might know from the classic Ground Plamp, has been deliberately replaced by the PP-220 in this set. The reason is obvious: the PP-220 offers noticeably more holding power. So if you’ve often noticed that a normal plant clip reaches its limits with heavier blossoms, thicker stems, or small reflectors, this combination of flex arm and strong clamp is made exactly for that.

We’d say: this is the version for everyone who doesn’t want to constantly compromise when it comes to stability.

Precise flex arm for macro photography and nature shots

The Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted works as a flexible support arm made up of many small segments. This allows for very fine adjustment without you having to constantly fiddle with screws. You simply bend the flex arm into the desired position, and it stays there. Period.

Whether you’re fixing a blossom in the foreground, moving a leaf out of the frame, positioning a diffuser, or adding a bit of fill with a reflector, this plant holder is made to keep subjects and accessories right where you need them. Especially in macro photography, where a millimetre can decide between sharp and unsharp, such an accessory holder makes the difference between “quite nice” and “wow.”

Plant clip, support arm, accessory holder, a small all-rounder

Even though the name “Ground Grabber” sounds quite down-to-earth, there’s more to it. The PP-220 clamp works as a robust plant clip, but it doesn’t only hold plants. You can use it as an accessory holder for light reflectors, small backgrounds, diffusers, gels, or other macro helpers. The flex arm functions as an extended arm that almost behaves as if you had a third hand—just one that doesn’t shake and stays patient.

In practice, this means you can fully concentrate on focus, composition, and light while the Ground Grabber reliably takes care of the rest. Especially outdoors, when the wind would otherwise ruin every second shot, this support arm is worth its weight in gold.

Firmly anchored in the ground, made for use in the field

The Ground Grabber is designed to work directly at ground level or very close to it. You push it into the ground, adjust the flex arm, and use the clamp as a plant holder or accessory holder. This system really plays to its strengths with low-to-the-ground subjects such as mushrooms, small blossoms, insects on blades of grass, or structures in the undergrowth.

And because everything is already assembled, you don’t have to spend time figuring out which part goes where. You take the support arm, place it, bend it into position, done. No rocket science, more like a quiet, reliable helper in the background.

Ideal as an addition to the Wimberley Plamp family

The Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted is part of the well-known Wimberley Plamp family, which was developed specifically for macro and nature photography. If you’re already working with a classic Ground Plamp, you’ll feel at home here right away, but with the added holding power of the PP-220 clamp.

You can use this set as a stand-alone plant holder or as an addition to your existing Plamp components. It’s especially practical if you want to fix several subjects at once, remove distracting blades of grass from the frame, or place additional accessories at different positions around your subject.

Who is the Wimberley PP-400 Ground Grabber mounted for?

If you often work in close-up and macro, spend a lot of time outdoors, and don’t want to constantly struggle with wobbly stems, wind-sensitive blossoms, or improvised supports, this set will suit you very well. It’s particularly useful for:

• Macro photographers who want to stabilise plants, blossoms, mushrooms, or small details
• Nature photographers who want to remove distracting blades of grass or branches from the frame in a controlled way
• Anyone who wants to position small reflectors, diffusers, or other light tools close to the subject

It might sound like a “nice to have” at first, but once you’ve worked with a truly reliable support arm, you won’t want to be without it in the field.
