I just like to point out again: this is a tool for color correction, not color grading! A lot of people think that this is for color grading, but color grading is about style and emotion. Color correction is about having a good image for color grading, and this tool is one of the best for that. But the color grading comes after!
As someone still learning how to properly colour grade, this was really useful. Definitely going to look into getting something like this as it looks really helpful!
Don't feel bad, we didn't really fully understand them when we first started out as well, but very useful if you take the time to understand them fully!
I bought something similar to this but while it's great if you have the time and resource but for run and gun filming it's just not practical at all. Especially if the light is constantly changing.
Yes, you just have to get over the fact that what your software might tell you is the correct value, might be slightly off to what your eye and screen is telling you.
Hi I`m from Datacolor - as long as you have the same lighting conditions its ok doing it one time only for every camera or camera lens combination involved but in case you are filming at noon and than later in the evening this are 2 complete different light situations with different color temperatures. Same with day light and room light. And important - it is not for interviews only. This is best and most precise way to set up a propper workflow - you save time and it is precise over all footage material you are cutting in your final video.
So complicated for me, but thank you for the tutorial, one day I will understand this better.
Don't worry! It is definitely a bit confusing at first but the principle is actually quite simple once you wrap your head around it :)

cool review man with a tutorial
Thank you :)
Just got one last week!
That's awesome! Let us know how you've found working with it!
Can this be used for photography as well?
There is a specific model for photos, but the basic principle on how you'd use it is similar :)
Wish I had something like this when I started... vectorscopes and waveforms looks so intimidating I ignored them for the longest time

It's great but too expensive :( I can just use a piece of paper and expose for white.

Would this be okay to use with non color calibrated screens?
Yes you can!
Yes, you just have to get over the fact that what your software might tell you is the correct value, might be slightly off to what your eye and screen is telling you.
Interesting - but do you need to use the card in every scene? What if its like run and gun situation like a wedding?
I imagine it's not really for that kind of shoot, more for when you control of your scene like an interview.
Ideally yes but it wouldn't be practical in every situation like run and gun shoots. It's more designed for when you have full control of your scene.
