Operating Principal
mini Plaster Hand use a special antiskid strap, by wrapping on any horizontal cylindrical surface, it will attach stably, or directly putting on any surface without using strap. There are 3 ways to use mini Plaster Hand, it was designed to be used at any environment anytime conveniently.
![]()
Mode A Suitable place : Any flat surface
Just put it on a flat surface and done! This is the quickest way to use mini Plaster Hand! You even do not need to press the strap and let it flatten. Press the back of the plate lightly could enhance stability on rough surface, while you do not need to press if it is already in balance. You could also mount your long lens with a quick plate and a tripod head on it, with making adjustment accordingly.
Mode B Suitable place : Any horizontal cylinder (1-4 secounds)
Wrap the strap on curved rail and put it through from the front hole to the rear hole, and tighten it. Then place the middle part downward, and put it through the middle part. Lastly, wrap the rest of the strap to the rail and hold it by hand. Set the self-time on camera to 2 sec or more and done! It would be safer to slide the strap obliquely via the hinge, as it is a safety design to prevent any accidental fall of the camera.
Mode C Suitable place : Any horizontal cylinder (5-60 secounds)
Put it on a curved surface and pass the strap through the back. Pull it upward and hold downward to tighten the strap. Put the middle accessory to the bottom and counter weight by a bag or any heavy stuff, and it will be perfectly secured. You can set the exposure time even longer.

About MPH & miniorenji
For this product, we’ve created a brand“miniorenji”, we hope to publish our new products (if any) in future under this brand name. Why“orenji”? It means orange, small yet tasty and lovely, we want to have all our designed products just like the mini-orengi, tiny but useful. Also,“mPH”designer named this product as“mini Plaster Hand”, because we always see there’s a saying on some photography forums, “You can’t shoot a good photo at night, unless you gear with a pair of plaster hands”.
From inspiration, design, sourcing components, producing prototype, to making agreement of small production amount with the manufacturer, it takes a lot of time and effort. Your funds will be used on purchasing high quality material, packing, manufacturing and transportation. With your support, not only the production will come true, more product that convenient everyone daily live could be produced. Thank you for reading this project, and thank you for your support.
