I have, or I also have an expodisc that has saved me a lot of work in post. Last wedding I went through the three main spots and set those WB using the expodisc to my 3 WB memory slots.

This reminds me that the Mennon Hood I bought for my Vixia came with two covers. One translucent white and one black. I'll try the translucent white for setting a CWB.

Hope so. It's small, snaps on the hood and has a lanyard to keep it when the light changes.

for sit down interviews, I like to WB to a light blue, giving me a nice, ritch warmth. Seldom do I even color correct those in post.
