Wonderfilm Pictures offers VFX Chrome Balls for hire, an essential tool for filmmakers needing precise control over reflections and lighting for VFX integration. Our VFX Chrome Balls come in three sizes (7″, 9″, and 11″) and feature a 50% grey and 50% stainless steel surface, which reflects 18% of the light, ideal for creating realistic lighting setups.
Each rental kit includes a highly polished, stainless steel chrome ball, carbon fibre handles for easy positioning, and a hard case for secure storage and transport. Additionally, we offer a custom-made 12.6 cm half chrome/grey ball, complete with a soft bag for added protection.
Our kits also come with a Macbeth Calibrite ColorChecker Classic for accurate colour calibration, making this an indispensable tool for any VFX-heavy production. Optional boom or monopod support is available on request.
Our array assembly has been manufactured to be extremely light weight, with the metal components we built constructed from sheet metal between 4 and 10 mm in thickness.
Our custom hardware, cameras lenses and remote features such as the 3 FIZ motors contribute to the overall weight.
This assembly has 6mm thick aluminium components. It is our lightest, production ready configuration including all accessories, within the max payload limit of the Ronin 2. It can be used with this gimbal on a drone or on a tracking vehicle.
The final weight is subject to the accessories used. The listed weight is without any accessories except FIZ motors. This platform is better suited to heavy duty applications where weight is less of a dividing factor.
We designed our detachable custom cheese plate for maximum mounting and threading options at the base of our array.
All of our assemblies are lined with M4, 1/4″-20 and 3/8″ mounting threads for infinite mounting options.
