The SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool from Datacolor is a compact (1.5"/3.8 cm square), digital color balancing tool that not only allows you to correct the color temperature but also the exposure, brightness and black point of your images. The SpyderCUBE is a spectrally neutral three-dimensional tool that's small enough to fit in your pocket or camera bag and gives you all the features needed to easily adjust your images in post-production. Its multi-sided construction allows special attention to highlights and shadows, and contains more features for image control than a gray card or white balance tool.

How would this work with flash photography and light meter combination? RAW video seems to be straight forward since it uses similar workflow as RAW photo processing. This could be a game changer.
Hi Dario, the use of SpyderCUBE is the same when using flash and a light meter or with natural/mixed lighting.

question
I am interested in trying this product, and just want to clarify how you should set your white balance IN camera while using the cube. Am I to understand correctly that you can just have your camera set to auto white balance (as opposed to setting a custom one off of a grey card) while taking a reference photo with the cube in it, and then just making the WB adjustments, etc. in your RAW post processing? Thank you :)
When shooting JPEG or compressed video, absolutely use the most accurate in-camera white balance you can, ideally with a grey card and certainly not auto WB. Auto is usually fine if shooting RAW, but using at least a preset may reduce workflow headaches later on (consistent recorded WB = consistent offset in editing). Hope this helps someone, a decade later... haha :)
