This is a fun gadget that works well enough for documentaries to post-process mixed lighting. Using the dropper to auto-balance an image in Lightroom didn't work as well as I had hoped, and I still had to do a significant amount of adjusting afterward. I'd give it three stars because it's such a neat idea, even though it didn't work for me. I liked using it more than my gray-card, although I'm bummed that this doesn't replace my gray card if I want to manually set my white balance in-camera. It's small enough that I don't mind carrying it around anyway. HOWEVER, I discovered during my last session that it was an amazing prop to have on-hand for sessions with autistic kids. The solid, geometric shapes and simple-yet-stimulating details delighted the kid I worked with recently. The fact that it swings is even better, and it withstands a bit of mouthing and even drops and banging, so I had no qualms about handing it over for play. I brought this out as my friend was getting tired during our 2-hour session. It completely re-energized him and he was ecstatic. He played with it, held it close, and enjoyed it for the rest of the session. As an autistic person myself, I can vouch for how soothing the simple lines of this are, especially compared to the frenetic environment of a photo-shoot. If you work with kids on the spectrum, this is probably the best toy to have on hand, along with a small kit of clean stim-toys.

Advertising does not make clear that this is a passive gray card replacement which you must include in your photograph. It is NOT a monitor calibrator for after a photograph is taken.

I wanted one of these for a long time, since they first came out. I was playing around with testing dynamic range and finally decided to go ahead and get it. It has a nice spot in my closet, along with all of the other gadgets that supposedly will dramatically improve my photography but do not. It was interesting to use for the first few times, then I discovered that I was adjusting contrast and brightness in my photos as to what looked best for the scene on my monitor, not what levels were presented by the SpyderCube. Also, it is much too tiny to spot meter on, even with a dedicated 1 degree spot meter, and I found myself relying on my cameras's histogram anyway. I'm a really geeky photographer, I use a Colorchecker Passport, LensAlign, Spyder 4, and even a Sekonic Profile Target to improve my photos and editing. The big difference is that all of those actually do something that I cannot do by eye, this does not.

This is a truly great product for taking & editing photos, and will help save countless hours in editing, so WHY NOT 5 STARS? Because it's cheap plastic. For $50 it should be higher quality, and not feel like a dollar store toy... You can argue that it's worth it for the money it will save in time editing, but the materials probably cost $2 at most... If it was metal, or even more sturdy plastic, I'd give it 5 stars. It's so light weight it's hard to hold onto. I hope they either lower the price or raise the quality, otherwise I'm holding out for a knockoff when this breaks (& it will).

I should have bought into the DataColor system long ago. Improved your work and makes professional printing a breeze - if you get the whole system and calibrate. Pays for itself instantly. This is mainly for jpeg shooters. If you attach it to the to of the color sweetie filer thing, you get the added benefit of a light trap and specular level that isn't on the color checker. Super useful on set for quick fixes, too. You will want the color checker for calibrating your lens and camera combos. But this is still super portable and amazingly helpful.

As the director of an art gallery in Santa Fe's world-famous Canyon Road art district, the ability to quickly and accurately adjust the colors in artwork photography is crucial to our success. When used in conjunction with Adobe Lightroom, the Datacolor SpyderCube has served to streamline the process and dramatically improve the end result. Datacolor's website offers some excellent video tutorials on the effective use of this tool. The price is a bit high given the simplicity of the design, but the results have been worth it!

1) It attaches to a light stand. I don't have to ask the person to hold anything during portraits. Looks professional. 2) It is non-reflective - Shiny grey cards are almost useless to me when using flash. 3) Tri-tone: I tend to color adjust in lightroom using the Spyder using the grey. Once in a great while I will need to use the white instead of the grey. 4) Shadow hole There is a hole on the black part that allows you to set the darkest point in the picture. Very useful when are trying to get a "true" black in the histogram. Useful for color-correcting black and white images. 5) Small and fits easily in a camera bag. No fold/wrinkle marks.

I find this very useful, although a bit more difficult to carry than a card because it's not flat. But the multiple surfaces make it very useful as mixed light sources are often striking the image (e.g. natural light from a window, and artificial light from a bulb) and this allows you to measure two sides. It can be easily mounted to a light stand and seems to give more info than a flat card which I have used before.
