Crystal Ball Photography 90mm K9 Clear Lens Ball Sphere with Mini Tripod Base Stand Decorative Glass Props Ball with Padded Shockproof Sleeve Bag by BESNFOTO

Great for doing interesting photos or to shake things up

An awesome photo prop! I’ve been wanting one of these for a while, so I decided to get one during quarantine. I only used it on one of my walks so far, but I can tell I’ll get a lot more use out of it when I’m able to see clients again. The suction is strong, but I wouldn’t trust it too much. The glass itself is VERY crystal clear and I’ve noticed that it doesn’t get covered in fingerprints (although if I did had to touch it I stuck to one side of the ball). It also comes with a quality cleaning cloth & case that is really well made. The stand is a bonus, as these balls can act as a magnifying glass in the sun and can burn you quite quickly! So the stand really comes in handy when shooting in sunlight. The ball has a nice weight to it, I traveled with it on a bike ride and it really wasn’t that big a deal. I’m really excited to play around with this thing. I’ll be uploading more photos to my Instagram account if you wanted to check it out @irenekoutsphoto

This is super clear, and a great photography tool! I wanted to love it, but the 90mm was a little too big for me to work with comfortably (it is heavy, and I didn't feel too comfortable/secure in the tiny suction cup's ability to hold on to it). The other accessories like the carrying case were amazing quality, and I'd definitely buy this again, but in a different size.Also, BEWARE: you WILL burn yourself if you're out using this in the sun. I had it out on the beach on a pretty cool day to photograph, and within a few seconds of holding it, it burned my finger. I know it already warns about using it in sunlight, I just wasn't prepared for how fast it would happen.

I love the size of the lensball but the stand came broke in the package. One of the legs was broken off. The case and ball are of great quality though.

Works great, and the glass ball is good quality and had no defects. The clipping case is great also.

Great product for photography

It takes a bit of practice with focusing through the ball. But they sure are fun photos. As for the suction cup, I was afraid it wouldn't hold. I'm new to lens ball photography I'm holding my opinion until I get more practice. I would definitely consider it as a gift for anyone who likes to take photos.

I do a lot of photography, and have good equipment -- I have enough experience to be shooting strictly manual settings and raw. So, I thought this would be fun. The quality of the item is good (thus the 3 stars), but it's really heavy to lug around unless you are using it lots. I can't get my camera to focus well on the reflection IN the ball - I am probably doing something wrong, or have to focus manually. My first 2 tries were uninspiring and will probably be my last... Not sure this bang is worth the buck for me. I paid for a class on the site, and it was also a disappointment. I do not think I'll ever use this item again. Will be banished to the box of misfit equipment.
