Don't underestimate this tiny piece of gear, for it is probably one of the most useful accessories you can have around for a day out in the field.

You can use The Plamp™ to stabilize wind-blown subjects, adjust the position or angle of your subject, move obstructing foliage, or even to hold your reflectors and lens shades.

Here are more examples of what you can do with The Plamp:

1. Steady wind-blown plants for ambient light photography
2. Steady wind-blown plants for focusing while doing flash photography
3. Make small adjustments in your subject to align it with the film plane
4. Move your subject into the desired angle for lighting (i.e. back lighting, side lighting and front lighting)
5. Change the orientation of your subject to make an impossible camera angle into an easy one
6. Move your subject to isolate it from distracting background or foreground elements
7. Move your subject so that it is in front of the desired background
8. Move distracting background or foreground elements out of the way
9. Move desirable background or foreground elements into the picture
10. To hold a small share to block light from hitting your lens and causing flare
11. To hold reflectors, diffusers or small flash units*

* A large piece of crinkled aluminum foil can be folded into a small square and positioned close to your subject for dramatic spotlighting. Or it can be unfolded and flattened to produce diffused fill light. Plain white paper can be used as an effective diffuser for harsh mid-day lighting conditions, and translucent colored paper can produce interesting and artistic results.
