Vortex Media Sistema de Referência WarmCard Completo 2.0 WCCP

Comments about Vortex Media WarmCards Complete 2.0 White Balance Reference System:

I shoot weddings, workout videos and band promo videos, etc. This is one of the most important tools I have purchased to improve my video and still shots. It comes with a variety of cards from normal white to cool to warm, and several in-between colors. The cards come in a small size pack that can hang around your neck from a neck strap, or fit in a pocket, as well as a larger set. Included is a very nice case. Digital cameras tend to make images look blueish or slightly cold. These warm cards do a very beautiful, accurate job of giving back the natural colors and even warming them or cooling them depending on what you're shooting. If you want accurate shots, especially if you're a professional, you can't go wrong with this set of white and warm cards.

Quality set of cards for white balancing. However, I think the range is somewhat extreme. Can't see using the higher values. Maybe this is to help justify the price. Nice pouch to store and protect the set.

This is a nice pack of well desinged warm cards. They are built to last. I appreciate the case and the additional smaller cards on the lanyard. I would say that it's a bit pricey... but for a busy shop like ours, the durabilty factor tips the scales for us.

Cannot express how much time this saves in post-production. Makes color correcting video between our multi-cam productions almost non-existent. A definite must have.

Despite the fact that these are super expensive for what they are...they end up being invaluable. I work for a government access TV station and we shoot a lot of video every day and these cards have radically improved my ability to quickly get great color from my overworked camera. Certainly better than picking between a white piece of poster board or the least offensive preset.

These cards work as advertized and worth it to me.

I like being able to warm up a scene and not be left with just a white balance card. These are of high quality and am happy with the purchase.

This is an invaluable aid I wish I would have found years ago. Even though it is quite expensive, after all, what you're buying is a few sheets of laminated paper, the difference in 'warm' balancing your camera gives you that professional look, without the years of experience it takes to judge adequate exposure off the top of your head. Buy it! Use It. You won't REGRET It !

We use this product when we are in rushed for time in a situation we don't have preprogrammed profiles already built for the cameras. It saves an incredible amount of time and gives very consistent results you can count on when using several cameras on the same shoot.

For the time it takes to use them the results are excellent.

These are the most technologically advanced warm cards I have ever seen. I do really like the look it gives the camera rather than balancing to actually white. Very expensive for what they are though.

I use these for digital photography and video. They're fantastic, and really give a notch up from using standard gray cards, and that makes all the difference. Little expensive, but worth it in a long run.

Just the right size and well made.

I am not a pro, but the warm cards were recommended by a pro whose opinion I respect.

Comments about Vortex Media WarmCards Complete 2.0 White Balance Reference System:

I've been using a "home grown" white balance card with decent results, but really have seen the need to purchase a complete card set. Having fractional warming has made a huge difference in my color saturation, especially under "less than desirable" lighting conditions. I used the cards for the first time while producing a live stage performance and was quite impressed with the results.

I agree that the price seems a little much, maybe about 30%-40% less would be more reasonable, but I'm very glad that I spent the money. They also seem to be pretty sturdy, so it's not like I'll be buying a replacement set any time soon, so that makes it a little easier to live with the price.

I used this to warm up the subject in a corporate video and it performed quite well. Many diferent cards with different uses. Nice compact design.

Comments about Vortex Media WarmCards Complete 2.0 White Balance Reference System:

Excellent and simple way to warm up a shot. Whether it's flesh tones or scenery a slightly warmer balance can really make a difference. I prefer to only use them when I have a monitor handy but I've found using a half blue is generally safe. I use them so often I've finally bought a second set to make sure I'm never without them. We even use them in a multi-camera studio situation and the result is always great. I used to consider these cards my secret weapon when they first came out. I highly recommend them.

I'm the director of a new video production department at a large church in North Carolina and I've used WarmCards before at other positions. I use these cards for balancing both indoors and out a lot and the allow me to get pretty consistent looking footage. They're durable and allow you a wide range of flexibility. I do wish they made an even larger set for balancing from a distance as in our auditorium. I would highly recommend these cards as an essential tool in any production environment. There are no real bad qualities about them that I can think of.

Comments about Vortex Media WarmCards Complete 2.0 White Balance Reference System:

When shooting on digital, these balance cards are great for creating the right tone in the frame. The variety is especially helpful when you need to balance just a little bit warmer or cooler. Highly recommend shooting with them- holding up a white piece of paper just doesn't do it.

If I need reproduceable, accurate pictures I need the WarmCard refenrence Set. A grat, product with a reserved place in my Cameracase. Square, practical, good. A must.
