Review on 🎨 Datacolor SC200 SpyderCube by Christian Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I don't like the color balance but it's great for autistic kids

This is a fun gadget that works well enough for mixed lighting post-production documentary films. Using the eyedropper to automatically balance the image in Lightroom didn't work as well as I'd hoped and I still had to make significant adjustments afterwards. I would give it three stars because it's such a cool idea, although it didn't work for me. I enjoyed using it more than my gray card, although I'm frustrated that it doesn't replace my gray card when I want to manually adjust the camera's white balance. It's small enough that I can still carry it around with me. HOWEVER, during my last session, I found this to be a great resource for activities with autistic children. The solid, geometric shapes and simple but interesting details wowed a child I recently worked with. The fact that it shakes is even better, and it can withstand small touches and even drops and bumps, so I gave it up to play without hesitation. I brought this when my friend got tired during our 2 hour session. . This gave him full energy and he was delighted. He played with it, held it tight and enjoyed it for the rest of the session. As an autistic person, I can vouch for how comforting those simple lines are, especially compared to the zany atmosphere of the photoshoot. If you work with children on the autism spectrum, this is probably the best toy to have on hand, along with a small selection of clean stimulants.
