I wasn't sure if a ND filter could be made into a globe? I want to do longer exposure 360 photos, but would need something to cover over entire camera.

The only ND filters I have come across are either made of glass and use a threaded lens mount of a poly-film material, frequently cut into a square shape and require a lens hood of some sort attached to the lens.

I would think that, since the camera's sensor is going to be doing the image capture, your camera only has to be mounted on a tripod that can rotate through 360 degrees. Any of the ND materials should do the job for you.

I don't think I understand. The camera wouldn't rotate at all. It already sees in all directions.

These smoked acrylic domes are normally used with surveillance cameras.

That might work.

Sorry, when I read your original query, it didn't seem to specify that the camera was to remain stationary. My assumption was, to create a 360 degree view, the camera would have to rotate through those same 360 degrees.

I use an Insta360 camera. It doesn't need to be turned ever.
