Datacolor Spyder X2 Photo Studio

Datacolor Spyder X2 Photo Studio

from shooting to editing and under all lighting conditions. A practical and cost-effective workflow with the Spyder X2 Photo Studio products can look like this:

With the Spyder LensCal, you can precisely match your camera's autofocus with your interchangeable lenses.

With the Spyder Cube, you can precisely perform white balancing in RAW conversion. Unlike a grey card, Spyder Cube allows you to set absolute white and black values due to its light trap and chrome sphere.

With Spyder Checkr, you get color precision right at the point of capture. Simply create the color correction preset with the Spyder Checkr software and apply it to the entire image series.

Finally, calibrate your monitor with Spyder X2 Ultra. In less than 2 minutes you will have an accurately color calibrated monitor, including most HDR/high brightness monitors up to 2000 cd/m2.

Spyder LensCal

A quick, portable and easy helper to fine tune the autofocus of various camera/lens combinations.

Spyder Cube

Provides a perfect reference point for the contrast ratio when lighting your shots - something you can't achieve with a gray card alone due to the lack of light trap and chrome ball.

Spyder Checkr

Ensures color accuracy and consistency across multiple cameras and lenses in all lighting conditions.

Spyder X2 Ultra

Ensures color accuracy and consistency by calibrating your monitor (in less than 2 minutes!), including high brightness monitors up to 2000 cd/m2.

Spyder LensCal

The autofocus of DSLR cameras can become misaligned due to the complex structure, which can result in blurred images. Modern DSLR cameras offer the option of adjusting the focus specifically for each lens via the menu navigation. With the Spyder LensCal, you can see if you have a back-end or front-end focus problem and make corrections accordingly.

Spyder Cube

The Spyder Cube provides a perfect reference point for the contrast ratio when lighting your shots - something you can't achieve with a conventional gray card. The Spyder Cube is the only tool that allows you to define absolute black without reflection based on its light trap and absolute white based on the highlights on the chrome sphere. In addition, you can use the gray, black and white areas to perform the white balance and determine the black or white value at which the drawing should start in the image. Its unique 3D design also makes it possible to see exactly on which side the primary or secondary light sources have been positioned using the two grey areas.

Spyder Checkr

color reference card for photography with 48 spectrally developed color patches consisting of two cards with 24 color patches each. While one contains the standard color set, the second card extends the precision, especially in the skin tones. Standardize and optimize your workflow right from the start. The included software calculates a color correction preset that you can apply to your series in Adobe Lightroom Classic®, Adobe Camera RAW® or Hasselblad Phocus®.
