Datacolor SpyderCube - standard blanc et noir

Accurate colour and exposure are the foundation of every great photograph, yet even experienced photographers struggle with inconsistent white balance and lost shadow or highlight detail. The Datacolor SpyderCube SC200 solves these challenges by providing a single, portable reference tool that captures true colour temperature, exposure, and black point in every shot. Simply photograph the cube under the same lighting as your subject, then use the reference values in your RAW converter to achieve perfect colour and tonal balance across an entire series of images.

The SpyderCube is essential for professional and enthusiast photographers and videographers who shoot in RAW and demand colour accuracy and efficiency in post-production.

Tips

For best results, place the SpyderCube in the same light as your subject and take a reference shot at the beginning of each lighting setup. Use the white face to set white balance, the grey face for exposure, and the black trap for true black point. The chrome ball helps you see the direction and quality of light. Apply these settings to all images shot under the same conditions to save time and ensure consistency.
