Refractique Lensball Vivid 80mm, K9 Clear Crystal Ball with Microfiber Bag

The Refractique Lensball comes adequately protected, even if an Amazon worker just throws the package in a box without any other protection. The package itself is beautifully designed with a few example pictures on the sides. Inside that was another box only slightly smaller and wrapped in tape. After that, two pieces of thick foam holding the ball in place, a protective plastic wrap around the ball, and then the ball itself. My product probably could have been thrown at a wall, and it still would have come out unharmed.It’s heavier than it looks, but the weight feels nice and makes it less likely that you’ll accidentally move it while trying to take a picture. Its surface is as smooth as it looks, which helps with the image quality, and the smaller size makes it easy to hold without dropping. The manufacturer did a quality job with perfecting the overall shape of the sphere as well – important for avoiding unwanted distortion.The lensball came with a cloth and a soft holding bag, for cleaning and safe storage. After a quick wipe, it was perfectly clear - I couldn’t notice any imperfections. The suspicious looking flecks in a few of my pictures are just from dust that I accidentally got on the lens, and those can be easily wiped away. The photographic quality only depends on your skill and environment. It just takes a little bit of practice to find some cool effects to use with products like these. I found light sources to be quite interesting, especially after changing the light sensitivity on my camera.If you take care of it like your other equipment, this will be a great addition to your photography toolkit.

The Refractique has impeccable clarity and clearness. There are no blemishes on the Refractique ball and it provides a crystal-clear image. I practiced taking a few pictures through it already and the images turned out awesome! I love the 180-degree view, it creates such a cool picture.The packaging quality is exactly what I expected. I love that it comes with a soft bag to store it in when I'm not using my Refractique ball. The box is secure too and it has packaging inside the box to ensure it will not break while it travels to you, so you won't open a glass mess! I'm planning on saving the box and storing it in the box when I'm not using it for prolonged periods of time. The packaging is well done too. I love the colors and the design. This would make a great gift!The manufacturing quality is top notch. You can really tell that this is a high-quality product. Again, I've already taken some pictures with it and they turned out amazing! I can't wait to try it out in more settings. There are a lot of different types of pictures you can take with the Refractique. You don't have to be a professional photographer to use the product. It is easy to use for anyone! It seems to capture the color really well too when I take a picture which is awesome and makes my photographs even better! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that enjoys taking pictures. I would also recommend it to anyone who needs a cool gift in the $20 range for someone. This is a different sort of present that you be unexpected to receive.

I've always had an interest in photography, but I've never really pursued it. A friend had suggested that I try this photography lensball. I ordered it and it arrived in a very colorful, fun package. It was nicely wrapped in styrofoam and came with a cleaning cloth to help keep it smudge free and a cute little bag to store it in. This little ball is extremely fun to play with. I can see the endless possibilities the more that I play with it. I had taken some pictures last winter during a freezing rain storm and I am wondering how much cooler those pictures would have turned out, if I had had this ball. I wish however, that it came with a stand of some sort as it rolls and it might make taking pictures with it a little easier. However, it causes one to get creative without it. It did come with a little pamphlet that gives you a website that you can go to learn more about using the ball, you will have to pay a small price for over two hours of video. I would definitely recommend this ball to any photography enthusiast. I think it would make a great gift as well.

I had got the 80MM crystal lately for a new addition to my photography squad. Great piece of art with a crystal clear fine view. Comes is a good packaging so that it doesn't get broken while in transit. the crystal ball is just flawless without any refraction within. Goes within any kind of camera. Its heavy and solid. Everything looks inverted when seen with the naked eye. I was worried but to my surprise there was optical clarity, super smooth no bumps or uneveness on the photography ball. Its one of those products which will surely bring in the creativity in you.There is no special equipment required except for a holder to hold the lens ball unless you want to hold it while taking your pictures. The 60MM is of lesser weight while the 80MM is heavy and will be of greater area coverage while doing the photography. The rounding effects and the clarity of the lens ball is really interestingNote: Do not look through the lens ball for longer period which would result in painful eyes. Use only to view it through your camera device.

I ordered this prior to taking a 2 week trip to Mexico. I was excited to have a new toy and take some unique pictures on my trip. The sphere arrived as expected, great condition and packaging was secure, I did a few test pictures and love the effect and was excited take more on vacation. Unfortunately, at the security checkpoint at airport in Mexico City, the agent confiscated the sphere from me and said that it wasn't allowed to pass through the checkpoint. I do not speak Spanish well enough to understand why he said I couldn't bring it through, as it went through the TSA checkpoint in the US with no issues. I tried to explain what it was, but he just said that it wasn't allowed. My only option was to leave it with him at the checkpoint.

Prodotto arrivato prima del previsto e tutto come da descrizione.Per chi fosse interessato, ho letto diverse recensioni per capire quale dimensione di lensball scegliere e teoricamente tutti consigliano la più grande.Bhè io ho scelto la più piccola per due ragioni:- la uso insieme all’iphone quindi in maniera limitata rispetto a che usa una reflex ad esempio- voglio portarmela nei miei viaggi. Questa pesa 250gr (a mio parere molto trasportabile) la più grande pesa 650gr (il peso inizierebbe a farsi sentire tutto il giorno dentro uno zaino con altre cose)Ci si deve prendere un pó la mano me è un oggetto piuttosto divertente.

I have used these types of balls before, but the reflections on this ball does not seem to be as clear as ones I have used before.

Once you get it in the right position you get some good images. Holding it can be awkward.
