Calibrated my Shogun 7 and Ninja V (both from 2020) immediately on first try, no problems, using Atomos Calibrator 2.1.17. Knocking a star off for being overpriced and a bit short

Has anyone gotten a successful reading? 8 of 10 attempts it says reconnect the reader and restart the device and when it does start the reading it says error 0 nits.
Asked by: brandon
The Atomos USB Type-C to Serial LANC Calibration Cable (13") (B&H# ATATOMCAB018) can indeed require several attempts in order to get it to work. There are only two common scenarios we know whereby the process does consistently fail. First, it will fail if an incompatible colorimeter is used such as the X-Rite i1 Display or Plus (non Pro) or the Calibrite ColorChecker Display or Plus (non Pro). That's because the Pro version of those must be used. Second, while this cable is used with many different monitors, on many of then you must go to the input settings on the recorder then make sure the Remote is set to Calibration/LANC before use.

No, the Atomos USB Type-C to Serial LANC Calibration Cable (13") would not work. However, the following Smallrig handle does come with LANC cables. SmallRig Threaded Side Handle with Record Start/Stop Remote Trigger BH #SM3323

Both cables have the same function, the only difference is the USB type. Yes, the USB-C version will work with the X-Rite Pro.
