Game Controller Calibration Software

I bought the pro version of the software from B&H about a week ago. Software installation went smoothly on my MacBook Pro/10.9.5. After reading the manual and watched a couple videos on line I was ready to use the software to calibrate my Nikon & Canon lenses. Canon 5D mark3 and Nikon D750 need user assist to run the calibration software which I was not very happy about but got used to it quickly. The only thing I had to watch for was to use a very sturdy tripod and use a very soft touch to change the setting during the test. Of course software takes some camera movement in to consideration when it displays the result. Target setup was not difficult for me and if you setup your target correctly your calibration results are repeatable. Probably the plus version would have been good enough for me.

Easy to set up once you understand the controller software

feels really good quality, all aluminium, the signal has a lot of range, the motor is powerfull, easy to setup, and battery last a lot, have it since december 2015 (20/7/2016 now) and i havent use it professionally but with ef cheap lenses, it worked great. the motors shakes the camera a little which can be feel from the handlebars of the ronin. the motor leaks a bit of oil from the gear but it's normal from what dji said to me. i really wish it lasts a long time, some reviewers said the motor burnt when using it with cine lenses, i hope it doesnt happen to mine, but dji sells the motors only for 500 dolars which is not that expensive (less than an iphone) so i wont cry that much. i like to know that if i bought or work with the X5 camera or drones it will work too, i think the controller could last a lot of time from how it feels, the battery is infinit when using it. i did had a problem once, which was my mistake because i updated the firmware on the controller and not on the motor&reciver and then the hole unit freaks out, the controller screen was blinking weird things and i couldn't calibrate the motor, and when i switched to automatic calibration the motor didn't wanted to stop on the hardstop of the lens so it tried to ripp it off, it was scary, then i updated the firmware of the motor and now it works great, i will never try automatic calibration haha i don't want to destroy the motor so i do manual calibration. i don't know if the DJI focus is watertight or splash proof, but i will keep it away from rain for now

Makes using controller software simple as plugging into switch

There's nothing glamorous about color calibration, however it is a necessary task for anyone concerned about color accuracy. I purchased the SpyderX Pro to replace the Spyder 4 device I'd used until making the move to 64-bit-only systems. I've used it with the included calibration software for my MacBook Pro, but use it with the BenQ Palette Master Element calibration software for my BenQ monitor. The process is straight-forward and the end result is beautiful, and that's what matters.

Very useful accessory accompanied by a very good software to use the color calibration in Lightroom and ACR

I bought this for my iMac and I'm very pleased with it, it's simple to use and works well. The software download and installation all went smoothly and the calibration process is quick. The monitor definitely looks better after calibration. My only niggle is that the room light measurement is returned as either very high or very low, there doesn't seem to be a level of background light that the unit regards as being normal. Most of my photography is underwater so the SpyderCUBE exposure calibration tool and SpyderCHECKR 24 Color Chart probably won't get a whole lot of use but the bundle was too good a price to leave it behind. From a brief test with my Nikon D300 the SpyderCUBE gives a useful sanity check on white balance, exposure, contrast and black point quickly and easily. Likewise the SpyderCHECKR provides calibration for the camera and the software integrates easily into Lightroom and Photoshop.

Colors are nice. Built-in calibration software is great. Has a USB port on the bottom of the monitor frame which is very convenient for plugging in a color calibration device. Also a closeable opening on the top of the hood for hanging the calibration device down on to the screen. Neat features that must have been designed by a photographer. The hood is also a nice feature for blocking out ceiling-mounted room lighting. The packaging was the most durable I have ever seen. Have only been using it 3-months but has been great so far.

Work well. Software is easy to use and rates an HSL adjustment giving you more freedom than a camera calibration that you can fine tune. Good quality too.

This is a good quality item that is important in your capture, edit, printing/publishing workflow. I spent hours trying to figure out why the DataColor Spyder ColorChecker would not launch from Lightroom CC. DataColor knowledgebase and online support were useless. I finally found a random web posting that suggested an update to a recent version of Lightroom CC. That solved the problem. The ColorChecker works as advertised, and the software is good, too. I am always surprised how really small things like white balance and color calibration make a big difference. I'm now using this in a studio and outdoors with off camera flash. Good stuff from DataColor. I also use their Spyder monitor calibration tools and software.
