12.6cm VFX Balls

Compact chrome and grey references that travel in one case

A large sphere cannot be placed where an actor sits in a car or where a practical set leaves no room. The 12.6cm range solves reference capture in tight spaces without giving up grey scale accuracy.

About This Range

The 12.6cm range is built for crews that move all day. It covers the two ball HDRI kits with a hard case, the single half mirror half grey spheres and the 5 inch 50/50 ball.

Every ball in this range is finished through more than 20 surface processes so the mirror side stays specular, and every grey surface is painted for post production reference.

Who It Suits

  • Interior and vehicle units
  • Travelling data wranglers
  • Studios building a second capture kit
  • Photographers adding CG elements to stills

Core Advantages

  • Two ball kits arrive in one hard case with handles, fleece bags and a colour check chart
  • 3/8 UNC threads on the kit handles fit standard camera and tripod fittings
  • Grey surfaces are painted at 18% reflectivity for post production reference
  • Small enough for hand baggage on a location move
