Datacolor Spyder Photo and Video Calibration Kit

The Spyder Photo and Video Kit from Datacolor is designed for hybrid photographers and videographers who need precise color management and simplified correction in post-production. It provides a complete set of tools that ensure consistent color from capture through editing, including the SpyderPro Advanced Colorimeter, SpyderCUBE RAW, Spyder Checkr Video Color Chart, and Spyder Checkr Photo Color Chart, all working together as a reliable all-in-one system. The kit also comes with Spyder Checkr Software, which analyzes results and generates presets in Photoshop, Lightroom, and Phocus for automatic color adjustments. Packaged in a durable metal case, it is well suited for both studio use and location work.

The SpyderPro Advanced Colorimeter is a monitor calibration device for photographers, videographers, designers, and content creators at any level. It allows monitors to display accurate colors, providing a reliable starting point for editing so creative work can be confidently shared in both digital and print formats. Compact and durable, it supports a wide range of displays, including LED, OLED, Mini LED, Apple Liquid Retina XDR, and high-brightness screens. By optimizing colors, shadows, highlights, and detail, it ensures consistency across multiple monitors. Features like StudioMatch and Spyder Tune help maintain uniformity when using more than one display, while Device Preview Beta lets users simulate how images will appear on different devices or as prints using ICC profiles. Other functions include display mapping, gamma adjustment, automatic room light switching, Rec.709 and Rec.2020 calibration, one-click presets, and unlimited customization for advanced workflows. Calibration is fast and accurate, taking about ninety seconds, with intuitive software suitable for beginners as well as extensive controls for professionals.

The SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool is a compact three-dimensional reference device that provides accurate data for exposure, color temperature, brightness, and black point. Its faces include white, gray, and black tones, along with a chrome ball and black trap for analyzing highlights and shadows. By photographing the cube under the same lighting conditions as a shoot, photographers can later adjust RAW files with confidence, achieving balanced colors and accurate tonal detail without trial and error. It is small enough to fit in any camera bag, making it useful for both casual and professional workflows.

For video production, the Spyder Checkr Video Color Chart includes five interchangeable high-gloss targets for color consistency across different cameras and lenses. It works seamlessly with vectorscopes, waveform monitors, and professional editing software, providing accurate references for exposure, contrast, and saturation. With cards for color patterns, grayscale, and saturation levels, it ensures precision in Rec.709 workflows while offering durability and portability for on-location shoots.

The Spyder Checkr Photo Color Chart ensures color-accurate still photography with four interchangeable cards featuring sixty-two color targets. Designed with an ultra-matte finish for true color calibration in any light, it delivers expanded skin tones, grayscale depth, and precise color matching. Housed in a rugged ergonomic case, it fits easily in a pocket or camera bag and integrates with software like Adobe Lightroom, Camera RAW, and Hasselblad Phocus to streamline color correction. The cards are made from sustainable bamboo and can be swapped or updated, providing a customizable solution for evolving needs.

Together, these tools form a comprehensive color management system that allows photographers and videographers to maintain accurate and consistent color from capture to final output, enhancing creative control and ensuring professional-quality results.
