12-inch China Ball Bracket

The Kupo 12" China Ball Bracket supports a traditional paper lantern to create soft, omnidirectional light for photography and videography. It uses a ceramic E27 socket compatible with a wide range of bulbs. A robust 3/16" chrome-plated wire frame holds the globe securely. The unit measures 14.5 x 11.5 x 14.5 inches for compact storage and transport.

Replaces bare-bulb or directional fixtures

This bracket replaces bare-bulb setups or directional modifiers when you need wrap-around, shadowless illumination. The jump is worth it for portrait, interview or product work where a natural, diffused quality is the priority and a paper lantern is the chosen source.

Mounts via 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads

A metal disc beneath the socket provides female 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes for attachment to stands, clamps or rigs. An integrated metal ring accepts fabric or gels for light control. Ensure the lantern material clears the bulb and that the mounting point supports the full assembly weight.

Questions about this item

What size paper lantern does the 12" bracket and 3/16" wire frame support?

The 12 inch bracket uses a 3/16 inch chrome-plated wire frame designed to hold a matching 12 inch paper lantern globe for soft omnidirectional light.

How do I mount the bracket using the 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes on the metal disc?

Screw a compatible 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 stud into the female threads on the metal disc beneath the ceramic E27 socket, then secure the assembly to a light stand or grip head.

When should I replace the ceramic E27 socket or the 3/16" wire frame?

Replace the ceramic E27 socket if it shows cracking, discolouration or loose contacts, and replace the 3/16 inch wire frame if it bends, corrodes or no longer holds the lantern shape securely.
