Spyder3 is the only colorimeter available that has a seven detector color engine, and it now boasts 400% extra light sensitivity for increased accuracy. Other new features in this version include a built in ambient light sensor, combined desktop cradle and tripod mount and 'before and after' proofing.

The new form factor includes an embedded ambient light detector and desktop cradle that doubles as a tripod mount. As compared to its award-winning predecessor Spyder2, the Spyder3 offers a sleeker design that's 37 percent smaller and incorporates third-generation Spyder technology. It also includes new easy-to-use, photo-centric user interface with features that photographers and creative professionals need.

Features
