datacolorSpyderCUBE - SC200

The Cube is a novel, compact and convenient gizmo for adjusting levels and colour balance of photos in post-production assuming you take RAW photos. It is light and easy to carry and looks durable. I use it for macro photography where I have added a spike that screws into the thread at the bottom of the cube - shame one wasn't supplied. My only criticism is that it is a little pricey compared to standard grey cards.

Eye-wateringly pricey, but it does the job it was intended for, very well.The cube is very compact in size and does come with a little carry pouch (hidden at the bottom of the box, inside a little compartment). There's also a tripod thread on the bottom, so I utilize that with the Manfrotto Pixi mini tripod.Great for getting the correct white balance and you can also use it to help adjust for the correct exposure in post.I use this in conjunction with Lightroom, so If I have a whole set of photos with the same lighting conditions, I use the test image with the cube to correct the white balance by selecting the grey area with the WB pipette, then synchronise all the photos and in an instant, all my photos are correctly adjusted.Fantastic product.

Initially needs practice but relatively easy to improve consistency over a wide range of shots.

Absolutely perfect! Works really well. I use it for product photography and sometimes its hard to match correct balance but with this it's super easy! Must have for studio work and in general

Small and perfectly formed. Well built. Well designed with all sorts of handy features. Handy little pouch, great instructions on how (or why) to use it for newbies to this sort of thing (like I was) and it doesn't make your subject look like it's holding a test card... Sure, you do need a colour chart for proper, full-on pro-photography, but for semi-amateur/pro it's very handy.Highly recommended - not cheap, but certainly cheaper than those colour charts and does help sort your white balance out still!

Clever little gadget which I use all the time. Easy to carry around as you can attach it to the lanyard or slip it in a pocket.

If you want to get white balance quickly and easily this is the piece of kit you require. In Lightroom etc you can set black and white clipping easily too.

Not surprised it didnt work. Being forced to pay to return it. Disgraceful
