Indispensible.

Always in my bag. I use a DSLR that has been modified for astrophotography, the in-camera white balance settings are no longer accurate. For all but astro work, I MUST use manual white balance, which means this tool leaves my bag only for use or to hang it around my neck so it's readily available. White balance is spot on every time.

Don't leave home without it.

I would rather forget my pants than forget the Clear White. I use it frequently and keep it hanging on my neck when I'm carrying the camera. Essential in mixed light.

Not so much

Thought it would work better. Just seemed kind of weak inconsistent.

Simply over lens white balance tool

I work in some stores and halls with strange combinations of flourescent or mercury/sodium lighting. This requires lots of tweaking in Lightroom to produce a natural look. The white balance filter let me take some shots at the lights ahead of time to get a good standard for available light shots. And since it is not a lens cap type it will work with any lens.

ClearWhite is a sure winner!

I use the ClearWhite 4" x 4" White Balance System for macro and microscopic photography at work for our medical product inspection of defects and pictures for procedures. I have found that the ClearWhite White Balance System work excellently for white balancing of our digital camera systems. The pictures have improved due to the very uniform white circular zone for the balancing. Past pictures had some yellowing and even the advance tools to enhance and fix photos did not do a very good job, where now my photos are truer color and no off-colors as compared to the real object being photographed. I also use it at times as a very uniform white background without any texture side-effects. The ClearWhite 4" x 4" White Balance System is a true winner and worth the money.

Indispensable, it's with me always

I use this with a video camera, an old Canon G2 used for for time lapse under various lighting conditions and a Canon 40D which has been modified for astrophotography. The ClearWhite filter is invaluable with the modded 40D, which requires white balance adjustment for all but astro photography. With all my cameras, this is the only way to achieve satisfactory white balance indoors or with mixed indoor/window lighting. Whenever I grab a camera, I put this on my neck, I can't recommend it highly enough. Hold it in front of the lens, set manual white balance and start shooting, couldn't be easier.

An excellent White Balance Filter

I use this filter with Canon XH A1 for video. The colors I get are vivid and accurate. I get consistent vibrant colors every time.

Great results

I have been able to get very consistent color in all of my digital images with the Clearwhite filter.I was immediately sold when I brought up my first images on the computer after a long trip across the country. Way better than my Nikon's presets. Ill be using this for everything. Great investment and very easy to use. Even the gray card gave perfect color when I had to use it for a few shots in tight places. THANKSSS!

Top notch professional results

I shoot landscape stock photographs and nature details mostly but I have also done a fair amount of portrait work. I learned about the clearwhite filter in magazines so I thought I'd try it. This filter gives top notch white balance accuracy and is way less expensive than the other filters out there. My friend owns a more expensive filter but this clear white seems to give as good or better results. I would easily recommend this to anyone, even a beginner.

ClearWhite white balance filter and neutral gray card - the ClearWhite White Balance System. Now available in 2 sizes - 4" x 4" and 5" x 5" filter sizes. The larger 5" x 5" size is ideal for extremely large lenses and for creating LCC profiles in Capture One Pro software with large lenses. Easily obtain an accurate white balance in your digital camera, regardless of the type of light conditions or the kind of photography you do! The colors obtained from customizing your white balance with this filter are clean and neutral. No more guessing with your camera's white balance presets which are almost always far from correct! Especially if you're shooting jpeg or tiff formats in your digital camera, the use of this system will minimize, or eliminate, destructive color correcting and disturbing color-crossovers. Even if you're shooting in RAW format, you'll get good, consistant clean colors from the moment the image is captured on your camera's sensor. Obtain the highest quality digital files with a minimum of destructive manipulations. Accurate, convenient, easy to use and durable.

ClearWhite filters are hand-crafted from extremely durable, impact-resistant satin-surface acrylic and are individually dyed and calibrated for use in any lighting condition, even tricky indoor lighting. Extremely easy to use, they are simply held up in front of your lens and pointed at the predominant light source when setting your camera's custom white balance. The included instruction booklet details other uses as well. Every ClearWhite filter comes with a premium quality soft fabric bag with Velcro closure flap.

Other methods used to obtain custom white balance are too cumbersome, too expensive, or highly inaccurate and can be off by as much as 1,000 K or more! Tests comparing the ClearWhite filter to other white balance methods show the ClearWhite is the winner with more neutral color balance (cleaner, more accurate and vibrant colors) in nearly all lighting conditions.

Now included in every ClearWhite System is the new ClearWhite neutral gray card. These superior quality, durable precision cards are custom made and guaranteed to be within very tight color tolerances to a known standard. Every card is calibrated to an approximate reflection value of 18% gray, similar to Kodak neutral gray cards. These cards can be used for accurate white balance and exposure in all kinds of photography - landscape, interior, portrait, product, etc. Because these cards have a very dull surface compared to many other gray cards, placing them at a specific angle to avoid error-causing reflections is no longer a major concern. These cards are also ideal for print comparison purposes, representing a Zone V middle gray value without color bias. Now in a very convenient size, 4" x 6", which will fit most standard filter pouches
