About the Plamp Stake
The Plamp Stake is a device which allows the Plamp II to be secured
independently in various ground types. The Plamp Stake consists of
two components: the Ground Spike and the Extension Tube. The
Ground Spike is a high-quality custom screwdriver. In our extensive
search we found nothing that compared in terms of functionality and
cost effectiveness. The spike has been designed for quick and easy
placement without the need for a hammer. The Extension Tube is a
high grade UV resistant plastic pipe which is designed to hold the
spike.
Features
• Simplicity in design and function
• Lightweight and compact
• High quality materials and construction
• Travel Friendly (*Meets 2020TSA Guidelines)
• Doubles as a slotted head screwdriver
• Extension acts as a storage sheath for the spike
• Easily inserted into a variety of ground types including rocky soil
• Eliminates vibration transmission from camera to subject held in Plamp
• Allows deliberate positioning of reflectors independent of tripod
or other available anchors
*Meeting TSA Guidelines does not guarantee the ability to place the Plamp Stake in your carry-on in the US or abroad, however the total length of the
ground spike is considered acceptable by TSA guideline concerning tools (in particular screwdrivers). Due to the fact that TSA issues guidelines and
not rules we advise that the Plamp Stake be placed in a checked bag to avoid possible confiscation.
