X-Rite MSCCPP-B ColorChecker Passport Photo 2, Black

Really useful for its intended purpose. Well built, the "pages" have a very strong detent and hold their position if you want to set it up in the shot.The colour chips themselves are impossibility matt and don't seem to reflect much at all, which is good.Lots of extra features I didn't expect, for instance, aside from the TRUE white, grey and black chips, there is also a graduation of greys that are tinted subtly cool or warm. If you then use a white balance picker on these chips in post, you achieve very natural levels of temperature adjustment. I'm assuming the software has to compensate in the opposite direction because the white balance picker is expecting true grey or white, devoid of colour.Some people mention this doesn't come with a lanyard. It does. It is very well hidden in the box. I don't have the box anymore for a picture, but it is hidden in between layers (this will make sense if you get one). I recommend pulling the box apart if you can't find it, it is in there! People saying it's hasn't got one either have a different version/edition, or they binned it without realising...

Great product, conveniently small and has amazed me in how accurate my colours now are. So easy to use and wish I’d bought one sooner

I can't deny how useful, easy to use and very practical is this X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo 2, but the build quality is very poor.... Build quality is a big disrespect for buyers, and just because we need performance and we pay a high price for that, it doesn't mean we are happy with the build quality. As named X-Rite ColorChecker Passport photo 2, there is no difference in build quality compared with the old model, the same cheap plastic, and the same poor hinges design.I hope the manufacturer will show some respect for build quality in the future (considering the price), and the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport 'version 3' should have a professional build quality and excellent performance, not only profit.Overall, X-Rite ColorChecker Passport photo 2 performance is excellent and deserves 5 stars, but the build quality is a poor touch of 3 stars, and I don't encourage poor quality for the asked price.

This item arrived quickly and I have used it far more than I thought I would.

I use this to get perfect coloir representation before shooting RAW video. The focus chart and white balance are a great extra feature in addition to the HSL and RGB colour targets.With a few tweaks in post to refine the colour you are guarenteed to have a perfect broadcast colour space for video footage.

Well made, does the job.

This will seriously up your photography game and is essential for portrait photographers to ensure perfect reproduction of skin tones.Easy to use with Lightroom and can speed up workflow massively!

Not used this much but it has improved the colour of my images vastly.Still learning to use it as am unsure about different levels of daylight & if I need to use it multiple times per day to cater for the light changing.

Prima di tutto bisogna dire che è un prodotto che bisogna conoscere è imparare ad usare. Indispensabile per riprese video e Fotografiche di precisione, io l'ho utilizzo per calibrare le mie macchine e computer per avere un alta fedeltà colore dei prodotti che fotografo in still life. Molto facile da trasportare è grande come un cellulare medio grande, con un comodissimo cordino per tenerlo al collo. Molto utile anche per calibrare il bianco in modo creativo per lavori fotografici e video più creativi. Lo consiglio ad ogni fotografo che vuole il massimo nel suo lavoro.

Adquirí la color checkr para temas laborales, y no ha defraudado. Es muy fácil de usar ya que viene con unas instrucciones muy claras.Al probarla con Adobe Lightroom me ha parecido una herramienta súper útil, los colores son muy precisos.Me pareció que por ese precio era algo bastante caro pero a medida que la estoy usando y le estot sacando rentabilidad va cambiando mi opinión.

Si vous faites du portrait ou de la photo de produit, c'est indispensable pour avoir une balance des blancs et un respect des couleurs impeccable. Intégration directe de l'application dans Lightroom pour gérer le profil optimisé. Un peu plus long mais tout à fait possible dans Capture one. Si vous shootez de loin, attention cette charte est petite. Vous aurez peu être intérêt à prendre un modèle plus grand...mais plus cher !

For folks that want to get into photography as an artist or a career and wonder additional tools they would need to go with their camera and lenses, well, look no further. For the art photographer...maybe??You got to give it to Xrite to eliminate the guess work of accurate colors and temperature, during shoots and in post! Although a bit of a pain in the a$$, once you get used to the set-up and workflow, it's pretty easy to use. The price may seem steep for most, but with it's professional and slight tactical appeal with rugged weather resistant construction, you'll easily realize you don't have to bust out that old janky, paint swatch covered, DIY calibration board you made from Home Depot parts and thought it was a great idea to use for a Bridal shoot, again. Those days are over and with this, you'll thank yourself for the investment well spent.This pack also have a white and grey cards included, which is great for video and even to calibrate your white balance on your camera. I even use this with my camera phone. It's great for bloggers to do a quick 5 - 10 second clip of them holding the ColorChecker Passport flashing all sides if they're on location and in fairly consistent lighting conditions, like on an over cast day. So much stuff on Youtube avail to watch on how to use this valuable tool in your photography.Most of us now have a nice bit of extra cash in our pockets, technically making this very affordable. Of course, I must say, this will only improve the color accuracy to a specific standard, for the sake of accuracy and consistency in their true visual representations. So, if your interested in industry work, such as, but not limited to; Product Photography, Hair Color Photography, Beauty, Fashion, Nature, even Reference Photography for 3D projects, or any type of photography where accurate colors are critical, this is the tool for you. It will make color matching and white balance less of a challenge.All of that being said, it really comes down with usage. Art Photography, by the very nature of it, open-ended to interpretation by the artist (photographer), colors can be manipulated to fit a certain tone and emotion created by the artists vision. I guess if you needed accurate colors to have a good foundation to start with, especially if the imagery were grouped together and you want to stay consistent to a theme, then this may be a good investment for you.What this product cannot do is make you a better photographer if you are not using it.

Dieses Produkt ist vom Konzept hervorragend und hat eine sehr gute Qualität. Es wird ein ständiger Begleiter für meine Fotoreisen werden. Lediglich der Preis ist heftig.
