Datacolor SpyderCube: White balance adjustment and optimization of RAW conversion process - Robust Grey Card with precise contrast determination by light trap & chrome sphere

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.

It was my first time using the white balance cube, it’s great if you’re taking photos at an angle to show all shade and tone of the cube. The cube is slightly problematic if you’re doing flat lays or Birds Eye view, because the full cube is not in view to do a better white balance alteration, it doesn’t have anything to change the position of the cube.

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!

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

very nice little cube, well worth buying if you do RAW photos in difficult conditions, I've used other grey cards but this is the best so far

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.

This makes RAW adjustment a breeze (when you remember to use it on scene). It's entirely hollow which set me back initially, but seems to be built out of fairly sturdy plastic so haven't been able to break it yet. It's light to carry but a bit larger than I thought - not too confortable to carry in the pocket of your jeans. Coat pocket is better.

Can be screwed on a tripod or hand-held, or even put on a leash and hang it. Beware it is very delicate and prone to scratches which would destroy its purpose.
