Datacolor SpyderCHECKR Reviews
Can't beat it for the price
Comes with a durable metal shell and easy to set up on a light stand or tripod to get color matching between cameras.
Loved it on the first try
I wondered if this system would be complicated. It was easy to setup and use. Was very satisfied with the first photo I had taken using the SpyderCHECKR.
Start color grading today!
Clean product, great price and value
This product does NOT work with Lightroom Cloud Version
This product only works with Lightroom Classic. It would have saved me several hours of futile effort if this information was available before my purchase. Support from Datacolor was surly and implied that it was all Adobes' fault that their product doesn't work with the current version of Lightroom.
Works
Simply put, it works
Necessary Tool
I can't believe I went so long without this tool. Makes colors consistent across lighting scenarios and super easy to use. Lots of time saved in post-processing using this tool.
Perfect chip chart
I really like how this is designed. First, it comes in a clam shell case so you do not need to worry about damaging the paper. I like the 1/4 20 thread to attach it to a stand but have yet to use it. And then, the fact it can flip over so each card has two sides is beesknees.
No Brainer
The simple fact that this changes your photography for the better is never explained enough
