AROGEAR Clear Crystal Ball with Stand, 2.36''/60mm Art Decor K9 Crystal Prop for Photography Decoration Gift (60mm)

Ball clarity is ok just but not as crisp and clear as it should be.The ball is 76mm and not 80mm as advertised so buyer to take note.

So when trying to come up with quirky ideas for photography we decided to drop this into the Cart to give it a whirl. Its a weird one most people into photography have used a Fishbowl lens which gives the rounded wide-view camera aspect but these gives a completely different effect. The Box it comes in is terrible looks like it has been in a Chinese souvenir shop under the rest of the clutter for years very dog eared and battered.So lets go through the low down:PROS:- The Actual Crystal Ball does look great and very clear.- Comes with a Clear Square stand for it to sit on.- Makes fantastic Inverted Photos takes a lot of preparation but they do work.- Inexpensive photography effect.CONS.- Packaging Terrible beaten up- Not the easiest to do the Photo effect the Crystal Ball needs to be put on a surface and held perfectly still not very mobile unless two person.- Very Small don't be fooled that this is like a fortune tellers size crystal ball its Bouncy ball size.To conclude this is a great novelty but due to packaging not the greatest if your thinking of giving as a gift the packaging looks very cheap and Chinese.Note: I Spend a great deal of time taking the care a time to write these reviews for your help please click this was helpful to just give me a sense of its all worth it :) please I do love doing it but takes an awful long time to do so please for a few milliseconds click that button for me ;)

Came nicely packaged, safe with a reusable box. The ball itself is beautiful, no blemishes what so ever, even the revolving holder is nicely made revolving on a ball bearing set.Excellent all round and a great price!!!!!

As described

Bought as a Christmas present, arrived today so I took it out the box to have a look, it looks so lovely! I took a quick couple of photos and loved it so much I ordered another for myself! The packaging isn’t as bad as other reviews say, I’m happy with it! A nice unusual gift and I’m going to enjoy trying it out!

Xmas gift for my wife i had a quick look and wow its so clear absolutely perfect will look amazing on display i think it will do some stunning photography and who knows maybe even a little fortune telling

The media could not be loaded.  Love the crystal ball, although I was surprised at how large and heavy it is.Perfect for my needs.As the description on the site says, be careful when using it in direct sun, as it can burn your fingers and start fires, just like a magnifying glass.
