Key features
- 4-in-1 calibration toolkit: Includes a Video Color Target, White Balance Target, 3-panel Grayscale Target (White, 40 IRE Gray, Black), and Focus Target for comprehensive on-set control.
- Waveform & vectorscope optimized: Vertically arranged grayscale chips align perfectly with waveform monitor displays, while chromatic and skin tone chips line up with the vectorscope target axis for professional-grade analysis.
- Faster post-production: Establishing correct white balance and exposure in-camera eliminates the need to neutralize each frame individually, dramatically speeding up color correction and editing.
- Multi-camera color matching: White and grayscale targets let you align exposure, contrast, and color balance across multiple cameras simultaneously, ensuring seamless cuts in editing.
- Broad software compatibility: Works with DaVinci Resolve, 3DLUT Creator, and other major editing and color grading platforms for efficient 3D LUT creation and monitor calibration.
- Rugged, travel-ready case: The self-standing hard plastic passport case protects all four targets from dirt, dust, and fading, adjusts to multiple positions, and includes a lanyard for quick access on every shoot.
