Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 Color Chart

Works superb

Amazing :) !!! Very useful ...

Could have plastic back to make it durable, it is just a mere cardboard

The enclosed software doesn't generate the accurate color profiles for Adobe Lightroom. The quality of the product doesn't correspond with the price. I don't recommend to purchase this product.

The Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 has become a crucial part of my workflow, especially when shooting in mixed lighting or across different camera setups. It’s compact, easy to travel with, and gives me consistent, accurate color across my videos and photos. If you’re serious about your image quality and want repeatable results across cameras and shoots, this tool is worth every penny. Highly recommended for filmmakers, photographers, and YouTubers alike.

Very good

Makes my editing so much easier. Great value for money.

You may think that this is an over-priced piece of flimsy plastic, but when you realise that it's engineered to have perfect colour fastness for years, and the resulting images you process will be colour perfect, it really is worth the investment. To use, you select your camera body, lens and lighting condition, and take a picture with the checker roughly central and about 1/4 of the frame. Bring it into the photo editing suite of your choice and crop it down to include just the checker, set the white balance using the 50% gray patch, then send it to the Spyder Checkr24 program (you can do this in Lightroom by using Edit In, and selecting the Spyder Checkr24 Editor. The software displays your image, along with an overlay showing where it will sample the image. This can be moved and scaled, but if you've done your cropping properly you'll not need to adjust this. You then tell it to save the calibration - in my case as a Lightroom preset. I recommend saving it as [camera body] [lens] [lighting condition] e.g. D810 24-70 VR Daylight. When you next start Lightroom you'll have a User Profile with the name you gave. Apply that, and it uses the HSL panel to adjust your colours to match reality. I calibrated every combination of my bodies and lenses that I shoot with in about 10 minutes. In reality you shouldn't need to create a profile for every lighting condition, as it works by adjusting colours relatively to ensure consistency. But it would be useful to take a calibration image if you have very challenging lighting conditions, or if you require absolute accuracy for product shots, or fine art, then it's a godsend. It really comes into its own if you shoot multiple cameras and/or lenses on the same shoot, and is pitched heavily at videographers to ensure colour matching between their A and B rolls. I'm delighted with the results, and you can really notice the difference, even if you apply the profiles to your back catalog.
