What's a Good Clip-On Flexible Arm Clamp Lens Shade Thing?

[robert_hurd]

Hi, All,

 

Do y'all know of an easy-to-use, flexible arm clamp device, that

would support a gobo flag or grey card? I mean to use the card as a

Sun Shade/ Lens Hood for 4x5 field shots.

 

Okay...I confess that I'm tired of repeatedly standing up and using

my hat to shade each shot.

 

I saw the "Wiggly Worm" product on the Robert White (UK) site, but is

that available in US? I already have a Bogen Super Clamp arm, but it

is too heavy and stiff for field use.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm....

 

I found this link on Large Format, so I will research further...

Forgive my answering my own question...but no wonder it didn't come up when I searched B&H for "CLAMP"...behold the PLAMP!...

Might see Nature Photographer's at:

I picked up a macro set which includes two plamps & two photoflex discs - one a 2 sided reflector & the other a diffuser. I also got a pair of extensions so that if it's windy I might use them to minimize the wind effect on my bellows.

 

Also - Ebony makes a lens shade clip to use a spare darkslide as a lens shade - need to have a shoe mount on your front standard.

Thanks, Lee!

 

I ordered a Plamp and extension from B&H...since I am leaving in a few days. But I will be interested in trying this device for some macro work come springtime.
