Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp unassembled

Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp unassembled, your flexible dual support arm for macro and outdoor use

Let’s be honest: at some point a single support arm simply isn’t enough. That’s exactly where the Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp unassembled comes in – a clever set consisting of plant clamp, flex arm and accessory holder that really takes work off your hands out in the field, in the garden, or in your improvised home studio.

You’re not getting a simple clip here, but a well-thought-out system developed specifically for macro photography, nature shots, and detail-loving close-ups. Stable, surprisingly flexible, and still pleasantly easy to handle.

Scope of delivery of the Twin Ground Plamp, all components at a glance

This set consists of several precisely matched parts that together form a versatile plant holder and support arm:

• 1 × Wimberley PP-400 Ground Plamp as base flex arm and stable support arm
• 1 × Wimberley PP-222 Extension as extension element for greater reach
• 1 × Wimberley PP-211 plant clamp for leaves, blossoms, small branches or reflectors
• 1 × Loc-Line Y-connector for splitting into a Twin Ground Plamp with two arms
• 1 × Loc-Line reducer for precise adjustment of the flex arm elements

All these components together create a variable dual flex arm that lets you fix subjects, position accessories, or remove distracting elements from the frame without you constantly having to play “human tripod”.

Unassembled version, maximum freedom in setup

The Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp comes to you unassembled. That may sound like a bit more work at first, but in practice it’s a real advantage: you can assemble the flex arm exactly the way you need it. Shorter, longer, with or without extension – you decide what your plant holder looks like in the end.

Especially if you already own other Plamp elements or want to expand your set individually, this unassembled version shows its strengths. You stay flexible and don’t have to commit to a fixed configuration.

Precise control over plants, blossoms and accessories

The PP-211 plant clamp is the heart of the system when it comes to actual fixation. It holds leaves, blades of grass, flower stems or even light reflectors and diffusers surprisingly securely without crushing your subject. Exactly what you need in macro photography when the wind once again has a different opinion than you do.

In combination with the flex arm of the PP-400 Ground Plamp and the PP-222 Extension, you position your subject to the millimeter within the frame. Once set, everything reliably stays in place. No more annoying readjustment with every tiny movement.

Flex arm, plant clamp and accessory holder in one system

The Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp is more than just a plant holder. Thanks to the Loc-Line Y-connector, you split the flex arm into two arms and thus get a true Twin Ground Plamp. That means you can hold two elements at the same time, for example a blossom and a reflector, or a branch and a small background card.

This turns a simple support arm into a versatile accessory holder that adapts to your way of working. Whether you’re doing nature photography, shooting small products, or experimenting in your home studio, this system grows along with your ideas.

Stable on the ground, flexible in use

The Ground Plamp is designed to be used directly on the ground or at low positions. Ideal for mushrooms, ground cover, insects on blades of grass, or flowers just above the lawn. The flex arm can be bent in almost any direction and still remains impressively shape-stable.

Especially outdoors, where wind, uneven ground and changing light come together, such a support arm is worth its weight in gold. You can swing distracting blades of grass out of the frame, bring small reflectors into backlight, or gently lift your subject to get a calmer background.

Versatile combination with additional macro accessories

Because this set is based on the proven Wimberley Plamp components, it can be easily combined with other parts of the Plamp family. If you later want to add extra flex arm segments, more clamps or other accessory holders, you don’t have to start from scratch – you simply continue building on the existing system.

This is a real plus, especially for macro photographers who gradually expand their setup. You start with a Twin Ground Plamp and can gradually expand your system into a small mobile “holding infrastructure”.

Who is the Wimberley PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp suitable for?

If you’re regularly out in nature, shooting macros or working at close range, you’ll very quickly not want to be without this plant holder. It’s ideal for:

• macro photography of plants, blossoms, mushrooms and insects
• outdoor shoots in the garden, in meadows or in the forest
• small product shots and detail shots in the home studio
• anyone looking for a reliable, flexibly adjustable support arm for lightweight accessories

In short: whenever you need a “third hand” that doesn’t shake, doesn’t get tired and stays exactly where you bend it, the Twin Ground Plamp is a very practical solution.

Practical tips & usage ideas for your Twin Ground Plamp

With the PP-400 Twin Ground Plamp you can, for example:

• slightly rotate a blossom to make optimal use of the light
• position a diffuser so that harsh sunlight becomes softer
• gently pull distracting blades of grass or leaves out of the frame without tearing them off
• align a small reflector precisely with your subject
• place backgrounds (paper, small boards) behind your subject

Over time you’ll probably develop your very own tricks, and that’s exactly what this modular system is made for. It doesn’t force you into a rigid pattern but gives you the freedom to use it creatively.
