Beginner WIMBERLEY PLAMP

[Clive R]

There are a number of DIY alternatives to the Wimberley PLAMP - but I cannot find anywhere in the UK where I can purchase the items needed.
By this I mean the plastic or foam coated wire and the grips.
Any help would be appreciated.

I wonder whether 70 or 100 amp single core electric cable would be stiff & flexible enough?

If you can go to an electrical wholesaler, many will sell to the public, and ask to see a piece and try it flex & positionable control.....that might be ok?

But for the grips.....to mimic the Plamp IMO you need soft grip ones not the strong & sharp "crocodile clips!

Thanks for the suggestion. Worth considering. If the process works for me it'll broaden ability to take different photos.

Not sure if this will be of any use, but have a look at some 'helping hands' for soldering, add some felt to the clips for softness.
