Questions Buyers Ask
Film and VFX Production Questions
What sizes are available for VFX HDRI spheres?
Standard sizes are 6 cm, 12 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The company makes spheres of any size on request, including custom diameters for specific shot requirements.
Can the tripod mount be changed from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch UNC?
Yes. The 1/4 inch UNC thread is standard, but the mount can be made into 3/8 inch UNC on request for larger camera setups.
Is the sphere hollow, and why does that matter?
Yes, the sphere is hollow. This reduces weight for handling on set, maintains consistent reflectivity, and allows for internal support without affecting the outer surface.
What’s the difference between the chrome and grey spheres?
The chrome sphere provides a high-reflective surface for capturing full environmental lighting. The grey sphere offers a neutral reference to balance lighting data during HDRI capture.
How are the spheres packed for transport?
Each set is packed in a Peli Storm Case 2100 or similar shock-proof case. The case dimensions are 45 cm x 36 cm x 20 cm, and the kit includes carbon fibre handles for easy carrying.
