Custom Kits and Sizes

Balls from 6cm to 30cm and kits built around how your crew works

The catalogue covers the sizes most crews ask for. Production is not limited to it: balls are made at 6cm, 12.6cm, 20cm, 25cm and 30cm.

Kits are assembled to order, which means the case, handles, bags and chart can be matched to the way a unit actually packs.

The Sequence

Eight Steps in Order

  1. Tell us the job. Describe the unit, the lens range and where the ball has to be placed.
  2. Choose a diameter. Pick from 6cm, 12.6cm, 20cm, 25cm and 30cm.
  3. Choose a finish. Full chrome, full grey, or a half mirror half grey split sphere.
  4. Choose a thread. 1/4 UNC for lighter fittings or 3/8 UNC for grip stands.
  5. Choose handles. Fixed carbon fibre handles or telescopic handles from 21 cm to 47 cm.
  6. Confirm packing. Hard case, polar fleece bags, cloth covers and a colour check chart.
  7. Quote. We confirm what is possible, what the dispatch window is and what shipping is included.
  8. Dispatch. Economy shipping by FedEx, DHL or a similar service with a tracking number.

A written quote covering diameter, finish, thread, handle, packing and dispatch window, with nothing assumed.

FAQ

Custom Kits and Sizes FAQ

Do I need both a chrome ball and a grey ball

Most crews shoot both. The chrome ball records the environment and the grey ball records how that environment exposes.

Can one ball do both jobs

Yes, a half mirror half grey ball carries both surfaces on one sphere. Separate spheres give a full hemisphere of each.

How often should reference be captured

Every time the lighting setup changes, not once per location. A reference describes one lighting state.

Can you quote a kit built for our unit

Yes. Send the diameter finish thread and handle you want and we will confirm what is possible and what the dispatch window is.
