Spyder X Capture Pro Color Kit by Datacolor

Description

Product Overview

The Spyder X Capture Pro is Datacolor’s professional‑grade color management kit designed for serious photographers who demand precision from the moment they press the shutter to the final edit. Housed in a compact, rugged case measuring 6.1 x 10.24 x 16.4 inches and weighing just 2.5 pounds, the kit includes the SXCAP100 spectrophotometer, dedicated calibration software, and a set of high‑quality color charts. Built with a matte‑finished aluminum body, the spectrophotometer offers fast, repeatable measurements across a wide spectral range, while the software integrates seamlessly with popular editing platforms to generate custom profiles for cameras, monitors, and printers.

Usage

Designed for studio, on‑location, and product photography, the Spyder X Capture Pro fits into any workflow. Photographers can quickly capture a reference reading on‑set, apply the generated profile in Lightroom or Capture One, and maintain color fidelity throughout the shoot. The kit is also valuable for videographers needing consistent color grading across multiple cameras, and for graphic designers who require accurate monitor calibration.
