Plamp Stake
Adjusting the rotational resistance of the clip
The Plamp clip is designed to rotate relative to the articulating arm with slightly less
resistance than is found between similar arm segments. If you desire this resistance
to be higher or lower, you may accomplish this by adjusting the Torx 20 mounting screw
clockwise (for more resistance) or counter-clockwise (to loosen)
You may access this screw by popping off the
final arm segment and plamp clip from the arm.

Plamp Rod Extension ($19.00)
The screw may be adjusted
with a Torx 20 wrench
(See part# KY-PP-201)
Extending the reach of your Plamp
You may extend the reach by using a Plamp Stake (part # PP-300)
which enables positioning independent of your tripod.
You may also be interested in the Ground Plamp (part # PP-400)
Which Combines the independence of the plamp stake with the
articulation of the Plamp II in one convenient package.

Camera Generated Vibrations
If your Plamp is secured to your cameras tripod, it is
possible for vibrations from mirror slap to travel through
the Plamp to your subject, negatively affecting image
sharpness. This issue is magnified when you add the
12” extension to the plamp.
We strongly advise using mirror lock-up
(if your camera has this feature)
Alternately, you can attach the Plamp II to an object not
connected to your camera such as our plamp stake
(part# PP-300) or a second tripod.
These vibrations are not a concern when
Holding objects that are not in the picture
(e.g. reflectors & diffusers).
Fine control using the Plamp Rod Extension
For extra dexterity try using the Plamp Rod Extension in con-
junction with the Ground Plamp or a Plamp II connected to a
tripod leg or Plamp Stake.
