6cmVFX-HDRI Profession Camera Reflector Photographic Props Set
A 6 cm VFX HDRI reflector set for film and television post production. The kit includes a chrome ball and a grey ball, a horizontal pole, two telescopic handles, and two ball bases. The chrome ball is fitted with a 3/8 UNC thread so it can be mounted to a tripod or handle, while the grey side uses 50% grey paint with 18% reflectivity. A 22 cm telescopic handle extends to 47 cm, giving the operator a compact tool that can reach a set position without a separate stand.
Key Benefits

Compared With The Alternatives
| Alternative | How this product compares |
|---|---|
| A single chrome ball | The grey ball adds an 18% reflectivity reference, but the kit has more parts to carry |
| Fixed length handles | Telescopic handles extend to 47 cm and store at 22 cm, but have more moving parts |
| Non-threaded spheres | The 3/8 UNC thread allows tripod or handle mounting, but needs compatible hardware |
| Flat grey cards | A grey sphere shows reflection geometry, while a flat card only gives a grey patch |
| Large HDRI balls | 6 cm is compact for set use, but captures less surrounding detail than a larger sphere |
