They are wonderful to stabilize flowers from ground level to 4 ft high (you can get as high as you want with a bit of 1″ PVC pipe and a coupler from Home Depot) and also eliminate the need for a second tripod. If you get serious about wildflower photography, especially if you want to make really sharp images with high resolution cameras, these are SO helpful. And they are small and light and easy to take with you into the field. A little more versatile than the 99 cent shelf bracket, which is a great idea on a budget. These Wimberley products are a bit expensive, but worth every penny when you get the sharp shot instead of the flower blurred by slight movement! Check them out. Available from Wimberley or B&H or several other retail photo outlets.
