Suction cup holder for reference spheres

This suction cup holder is designed for attaching reference spheres to smooth, non-porous surfaces where conventional mounting methods may not be practical. The system is particularly suitable for façade surveying, architectural documentation, and historic preservation projects.

The integrated spacer helps maintain visibility of the reference sphere, even when mounted on windows or surfaces with deep frames and jambs.
