Kaiser Vivicap for White Balance : any experiences ?

[Tabazan]

Hello to all,


I've juste seen this WB cap, but no review for it.


Seem quite useful (and maybe more simple than the gray cardboard), but ...


Does anyone use it, and what is it worth ?


Thanks !

I've seen this as well, defiantly looks like it might be useful

No experience with the Kaiser Vivicap. I own and occasionally use the ExpoDisc. If shooting primarily Jpeg, in consistent lighting, it works alright. However, when shooting RAW (as is usually the case now) in situations were the lighting changes, I much prefer white balance cards like the Xrite Passport or WhiBal; I find them much easier to use on the fly.

I was curious about this device as well---looked up the company website and they referred to a U.S. Marketing agent. I wrote them an email inquiring about filter and this was the response: "<span style="font-size: 14pt;"]<span style="font-family: Calibri;"]Is not sold in the USA. We carry the Balens white balance system and the Stratos. Either are available from your camera store."

They have it at B&amp;H,


Despite the price, it seems that very few people have tried it.
