David Ross Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 OK: It's time to research into a china ball systems. Looking to purchase one our two. My question is should i invest into into a Chimera type system or a Jem lighting system Or simply get a few inexpensive socket holders and some inexpensive China balls from film tools. The paper looking one seem like thy are pretty cheap and would rip up fairly easy. I mainly shoot high end corporate and some regional TV spots,Indy features. However when i purchase equipment i Generally buy pretty high end stuff only because it tends to be a better overall value in the long run. Any thoughts or ideals on what to buy. Perhaps there is another Manufacture that i am not aware of. Also what would be some standard sizes to consider. Thank you DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 23, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted September 23, 2012 For myself; I would get some high end sockets with good cord on them, then buy the calls as an expendable as needed. They get beat up pretty badly; but in truth I haven't found a good enough reason to invest in the higher-end systems. There's these lantern-locks which I really like-- then just skinned with the cheap paper balls. http://lanternlock.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
