The Datacolor Spyder Lightcolor Meter is a highly advanced, wireless device that provides accurate light and color measurements for photographers, videographers, and cinematographers. Designed for seamless real-time data streaming, it connects via Bluetooth 4.0 LE to your smartphone, allowing you to fine-tune lighting without leaving your camera setup. This meter supports ambient, continuous, and strobe lighting, ensuring reliable exposure and color temperature accuracy across various conditions. Equipped with incident metering, it measures lux, chromaticity, correlated color temperature (CCT), and green-magenta shifts (Duv), giving you full control over your lighting environment.
The device’s multi-meter synchronization capability allows you to connect and monitor multiple meters simultaneously up to 80' away, making it ideal for complex shoots with varied lighting setups. The meter supports photo, video, and cinema exposure modes, offering essential functions such as frame rate settings, shutter speed/angle adjustments, ND filter compensation, and high-speed sync (HSS) flash measurements. This makes it an indispensable tool for studio, outdoor, and event photography, as well as professional filmmaking. One of its standout features is the integrated gel filter library, which includes filters from Profoto, LEE, and Rosco, so you can match light sources accurately without additional guesswork. The device also offers hands-free operation, thanks to its rare-earth magnetic mount, 1/4”-20 tripod thread, alligator clip, and lanyard hole, providing flexible positioning options. Built for rugged reliability, the meter is compact, durable, and powered by two AAA batteries, offering up to 40 hours of continuous operation. Whether used in a controlled studio setting or dynamic outdoor environments, the Datacolor LightColor Meter enhances workflow efficiency by ensuring consistent, precise lighting control from start to finish.
