20cm VFX Balls

Mid size spheres that still read on a wide lens

On a wide lens a small ball becomes a few dozen pixels and the HDRI built from it falls apart. The 20cm range gives back the resolution without moving to a 25cm sphere.

About This Range

The 20cm range sits between the compact 12.6cm balls and the large 25cm spheres. It covers a 1/4 UNC split ball with a stretch handle, a 3/8 UNC split ball with a telescopic handle and a two ball set with shipping included.

At 20cm the sphere holds enough detail for medium and wide plates while staying light enough to hold at arm's length.

Who It Suits

  • Exterior units on medium and wide lenses
  • Crews standardising on 3/8 UNC fittings
  • Studios that want one ball for most of the schedule
