Hello
This is not just a colormeter that are not as expensive, it's a spectrometer that measures the spectral composition of light used by lighting specialists.
A simple inexpensive colormeter gives the two key WB values that are K (amber blue balance) and magenta green balance.
The spectrometer is able to analyse each different lighting source of a scene against spectral discontinuities and turn off some weird sources, or replace out of spec bulbs, or add controlled lightings to overpower bad ones.

Thank you for that information. I happen to purchase some tools and various meters from someone and a Sekonic C7000 spectrometer was in the case as well. Wish I knew how to use it because it's a very sophisticated tool. I hate to sell tools but I'm going to list it for sale and someone that knows how to use it will get a good deal on it. Thanks

What’s the difference between c800 and c7000. Can c800 measure ambient light settings so I can set shutter speed and aperture or does it only measure color temp? I think the c7000 has additional benefit of being able to read ambient like cheaper light meters. Can’t tell if c800 can do this too.

Can you do a video on how you use this on set but like in more detail ! Love this and I subbed because come on….I need to lol

[@LarimoreStudios]

Unfortunately it was stolen a month ago when our studio was robbed 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not sure it is one of our higher priorities for replacing

[@binaryinfections]

@@LarimoreStudios whaaaaaat! A shame man I’m sorry 😞 you gave such good advice on using it. I will continue to follow nonetheless. This is why I hate criminals ugh

[@johanvanhuyssteen9217]

Awesome video. I appreciate you sharing your information. I did notice your shirt was moire-ing quite noticeably. May I ask which camera you're using?

Thank you!

[@Limerain01]

Can this be used to measure the color accuracy of tv's, monitors and smartphones?

[@LarimoreStudios]

No, this isn't for doing that kind of test.
