This thing looks insane!

Here's another video, hope it's available soon.

 

[Justin Chin]

I could really use this NOW

It looks like a mockup in the demos, and in one of the videos Lorenzo mentions a November release date, I hope it rolls out soon!

 

[Michael Ou]

Very cool!

 

[scott devitte]

If anybody finds a place to buy one of this soon please announce it. I want bad.

I got my hands on a C700r tonight for a few minutes.
• is powered by two AA batteries
• does a dark calibration every time it's turned on (takes about 30 seconds)
• is about an inch thick (a quarter inch thicker than my Minolta Color Meter 3f)
• back and sides are grippable rubber material
• bottom has pc socket [for flash], and usb port for firmware upgrade

I was glad 200+ page! manual wasn't handy.
Thankfully, touch screen interface was easy to figure out, and select which info fields to display.
Sekonic Spectromaster does read out in lux and fc.

Next week I should have another play with the meter, and will post measurements of some usual light sources.

Just waiting for this to get into retail.

 

[Paul Russell]

I wonder how long it will be before someone makes an app out of it.

Thx for the link to Adam's article.
Been wondering how the c-700 compares to the Lighting Passport and it sorta answers this.
