Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 – Coloration calibrate your digital camera for constant picture coloration throughout a number of digital camera programs/lighting situations. Goal coloration chart has 24 goal colours + gray card.

No need to get the more expensive one if you are on a budget.
For those of you that are browsing here and are on the fence (as I was) based on some of the negative reviews, I would like to offer an additional point of view.1.) This device is not made of cheap cardboard. While it is not a hard solid plastic, it is not “cardboard” fragile, and it seems to be coated with some layer of plastic or vinyl – making it “durable enough” for the task. It comes with a plastic sleeve for travel and storage. There is a small risk that this could get bent if mishandled, but if you take care to store and transport it properly, you will be fine.2.) $50 for a piece of colored plastic may seem over the top, I must caution you that you are paying for the color science, as well as the material that provides accurate color despite glare and reflection. There are less expensive versions on EBay and Amazon that seem to accomplish the same thing, but you will find that they are less accurate under certain lighting, and DaVinci does not recognize these generic color checkers. Conversely, the SpyderCHECKR is the least expensive option that seems to be software-recognized.3.) The other brand has a nice case, but I do not believe that it is worth the extra $$$ for my needs. The SpyderCHECKR also has white a white balance palette on the other side.I use the SpyerCheckR for matching disparate branded cameras. In my first test today, I took my Canon t6s and my Lumix G7 and filmed a short scene. I was very impressed with the workflow of using the SpyderCheckR with Davinci Resolve to generate 3D LUTS for each camera. I used the LUT’s in Premiere/lumetri to create matching scenes. The process was also quite easy.The result was a footage match that is “close enough” for me, and I am quite sure that my customers would not be able to detect the difference. Coming from my past unsuccessful attempts to match cameras manually, I feel like this small piece of plastic has upped my production quality as well as sped up my workflow. I have attached my graded/ungraded tests for folks to review.In conclusion, if you have mix of camera brands, this is the least expensive, Davinci-recognized tool to ensure that the colors of your shots match across camera brands. I Highly recommend this device.(FYI, I was not paid for this review, nor given a free product – I purchased this tool because I was failing to get the colors across my cameras to match)

Confusing at first, but let me help.
So, getting this for photo editing and photography to help me because I am what is called “Protan” color blind (I can’t distinguish reds or variations of red or other colors with red in them, i.e. pinks, purples, oranges, etc) so color grading has come as a challenge.Enter in discovery of the SpyderCheckr24.I got this after seeing someone else do a review of them somehow importing a tool into Lightroom and editing their photos there just by the click of a single button. I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work, so here’s what you’ll need to do:Pre-reqs:A. Download/register and install the SpyderCheckr App on your computer. You can find this link in the box to download.B. Choose your editing software suite (in my instance, that would be Lightroom)How to use:1. First, you need to take a picture from the location of where your camera is, in the environment its in. Unfortunately, to keep color grading and white balance accurate, you need to redo this every time something changes about your photo/video shoot. When you take a picture of it, you’ll want to fill as much of the frame as you can with it, and keep it square or parallel as close as possible to the camera.2. Now, import your files into lightroom (or whatever your choice of editing software is)3. Find the file(s) you took a photo of the spydercheckr24 and crop down and rotate it so it has the greyscale at the bottom row. Export this as JPG, and exit your editing software.4. Open the Spyderchekr24 program, and browse to your JPG export, and import it. At this point you should see little boxes to square up. Move these boxes so they fit within the image, and process the color correction and export it as a preset to lightroom with whatever preferred settings you want. Once done, you can exit Spydercheckr24 app.5. Relaunch lightroom, then you should find under “user presets” under the development module the preset to color correct accurately your environment. You can right click and move this to another folder or location if you choose.That’s it, then enjoy having properly colored edited files!As for the product itself, you can see others reviews. Its not as nice as some of their other color correcting cards, but I keep mine in the box, and is of decent quality. Remember, you’re paying for the software more than you are paying for the card. Sure its one extra thing to carry, but it ensures my colorblindness won’t be a hinderance in my editing process!

I only need to use colour calibration infrequently in studio, so I bought this version, which is essentially a letter-sized sheet of cardboard-like material supplied in a protective sleeve. It suits my purposes. If you plan on using it in the field, you might want to consider the more expensive version in a plastic case. I like SpyderCheckr vs the other well-known brand because it creates a Lightroom HSL preset instead of a color profile. It just integrates better with my workflow because unlike color profiles, once created with Adobe Camera Raw on my desktop, I can import the preset in Lightroom Desktop and then Lightroom mobile. It is easy to use and works very well.

Für präzise Fotoergebnisse bezüglich Farbkalibrierung und genauem Weißabgleich für anspruchsvolle Fotografen unverzichtbar (macht natürlich nur Sinn mit einem kalibrierten Monitor)!Natürlich ist die Graukarte auch zur genauen Ermittlung der Belichtung per Lichtmessung einsetzbar.Leider verlangen auch andere Hersteller nebst dazugehöriger Software einen saftigen Preis.Eine solche Investition ist trotzdem immer den absolut abzulehnenden, faltbaren Billig-Graukarten für ca. €10,- vorzuziehen! Ich konnte diese Karte für €37,99 erstehen.
