I have spent 2 hours googling for this, maybe it doesn't exist.

Wanted 1 solid ball/sphere made from plastic/resin about 150mm diameter that I can put screw inserts into.
Any ideas what Iam looking for
does the damn thing exist.

I am attending several animal expos over the next few months. I have banner flag things but as I will be fling dont want to be carrying large metal plates with me.

Try your local 2 buck shop. They may have one of those outdoor bowling sets. The ball sounds just about right.

You don't want to carry metal plates but a heavy-as solid ball is OK?

I would get the base of a beach umbrella that screws into the ground. Like literally, it is a screw about 50mm dia and 500mm long. Weighs next to nothing easy to transport and your flag won't blow over.

We have banners outside my office. The base 'plate' is a plastic cavity that we fill with water, up to 15 litres so can handle a breeze. To move them any distance empty them, they are then less than 2 kg to carry.

^^^ they came with the banners, so any print type company (eg SNAP) that do banners should be able to supply....
