A color and Lux meter I can actually afford! - In. Licht Pro Unboxing Review

I’ve wanted a color meter since the 80s! Just could never afford or, later, justify the expense. Now I have In. Licht Pro - which will NEVER leave my bag / pocket.
And I did end up taking advantage of that magnet on the back 😂😂 who knew?

Thanks for the information. Could you post a video on how you would use it, in various scenarios (ie: studio, on location etc) ? Thank You!

[@ArminHirmer]

very neat and the price seems okay. thanks for showing

For $150 that’s amazing. I do video and I’m always trying to guess a rooms kelvin to match in camera and on my light. Video is much less forgiving if you get mixed lighting and it ruins skin tones.

Reminds me a little of the ExpoDisc. Still have mine squirreled away somewhere. That would take longer to use since you have to take an image and store it in the camera or whatever, however it did compel you to take a reading directly on whatever you were concerned about, such as your subject. And you could be pretty precise, since your lens could just zoom into whatever you want.

Have you looked at the OPPLE? Cost around 40$ for the basic version that is often on sale under 20$ (lux, CCT) and around 80$ for the advanced which is often under 50$ (lux, CCT, CRI, Flickr, other stuff).

Interesting tool. Trying to imagine a use-case scenario for it. In a controlled studio environment, using high-end powerpacks that produce consistent kelvin output...maybe. But mixed lighting, on location? Gelling your strobes to match windowlight, for an event like a wedding? Nope. Too many changing variables. I used to shoot commercial transparency film to 1/10th of a stop accuracy...back in the day. And I'm all about getting it "on film" not fixing it in post, but we're living in a digital age now.

I got the Gossen Color meter back then and a Sekonic at the beginning of the DSLR era.

So it doesn't show the green / magenta balance? Color temp (blue /orange) is only half the necessary info.

[@davemil716]

at $140 on Amazon it is a worthwhile investment as I use LED light more and more.

Why not use custom white balance using a PortaBrace White Balance Card at $5.72 ?
