12 Month Warranty*The Spyder X2 Photo Studio from Datacolor is the ultimate colour management tool kit for photographers. It provides users with full colour control from capture through editing, and includes the Spyder X2 Ultra, Spyder LensCal, Spyder CHECKR and Spyder CUBE - all working together to ensure colour accuracy and save you time. Plus, all items fit neatly in the included metal transport case.
Datacolor Spyder X2 Ultra Colorimeter
Ideal for photographers, videographers, and hybrid content creators, the Datacolor Spyder X2 Ultra is the most powerful colorimeter and software system from DataColor, providing consistent and accurate colour output across your devices. Its lens-based sensor benefits advanced users looking for the highest level of colour calibration and thanks to its expanded measurement range, it allows you to achieve accurate colour reproduction in most HDR-capable displays. The Spyder X2 Ultra can measure up to 2000 nits of brightness and supports most industry standard monitors and projectors.
Datacolor SpyderLensCal Autofocus Calibration Aid
The SpyderLensCal Autofocus Calibration Aid from Datacolor is a focus test chart, designed for use with select DSLRs that support autofocus adjustment. The chart allows you to test the autofocus accuracy of your camera, making it easy to fine-tune it for optimum performance.
The SpyderLensCal features a built-in level and tripod mount, allowing you to create precise testing environments. Cameras that support autofocus adjustments such as the Canon 5D Mk II, 5D Mk III, 1D Mk III, 1D Mk IV, and 1Ds Mk III, as are supported. Please consult your owner's manual to confirm that your camera supports autofocus adjustment.
Datacolor SpyderCubeRAW Calibration Tool
The SpyderCubeRAW Calibration Tool from Datacolor is a compact (1.5"/3.8 cm square), digital colour balancing tool that not only allows you to correct the colour temperature but also the exposure, brightness and black point of your images. The SpyderCubeis a spectrally neutral three-dimensional tool that's small enough to fit in your pocket or camera bag and gives you all the features needed to easily adjust your images in post-production. Its multi-sided construction allows special attention to highlights and shadows, and contains more features for image control than a grey card or white balance tool.
Just place the SpyderCubein the lighting conditions under which you will be photographing. Orient the cube so that the lower black face, containing the black trap, is at the bottom front, and the two split white/grey faces are both visible. Take a photograph that includes the Cube. It makes several measurements that make it possible for you to be confident that your colours are accurate, your shadows and highlights are properly exposed, and your image is adjusted to the ideal density, regardless of the lighting conditions. These functions give you the data you need:
1 Chrome Ball - Measures catchlight to analyze specular highlights.
2 White Face(s) - Define highlights in relation to catchlight.
3 Grey Face(s) - Measures colour temperature and midtone response.
4 Black Face - Defines shadows in relation to black trap.
5 Black Trap - Defines absolute black.
By using SpyderCubeunder the same lighting conditions as your photos, you can optimally adjust all the photos in RAW conversion using the information the Spyder 3D shot provides. The SpyderCubeis easy enough for the advanced amateur and sophisticated enough for professionals.
* Chrome Ball to measure catchlight to analyze overexposed areas.
* White Faces to define highlights in relation to catchlight.
* Spectrally neutral 18% Grey Faces to measure colour temperature and midtones in all lighting conditions.
* Black Trap to define absolute black.
* Black Face to define shadows in relation to black trap.
Datacolor SpyderCHECKR Colour Chart and Calibration Tool for Digital Cameras
The SpyderCHECKR Colour Chart and Calibration Tool for Digital Cameras from Datacolor is a colour target for use with digital cameras. It features 48 swatches, including various shades of grey and skintones. The chart opens to 12.25 x 9.125", and when folded closed is 6.75 x 9.125". You can use the swatches to perform a custom white balance on your camera, ensuring that your camera settings correctly match the lighting conditions in which you are shooting.
The SpyderCHECKR ships with software for Mac and Windows. In order to use it, you'll have to use an Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) post-production workflow. This allows you to use the calibration tool in conjunction with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom.
