X-Rite Colorchecker Passport
$100.00 /day
The definitive pocket-sized, ultra-reliable color management link for color-critical photo shoots, multi-camera video setups, and complex location lighting profiles, the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Classic is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Precision-milled inside a rugged, protective hard shell casing, this industry-standard target features 24 scientifically formulated color patches engineered to deliver absolute tonal fidelity and flawless exposure metrics under any light source. Outfitted with dedicated creative enhancement grids and an ultra-pure white balance reference plate, it hands commercial photographers and cinematographers total control over custom DNG camera profiles in Lightroom, Capture One, and DaVinci Resolve. (Note: This standard rental listing covers the passport hardware color target and its protective case only; camera kits, gray cards, and software application licenses are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Classic Professional Color Target is an elite, high-utility production asset engineered for commercial fashion photographers, cinematic directors, and meticulous digital imaging technicians (DIT), making it an indispensable asset for color-critical gear hire in Hong Kong. Operating as a universally recognized optical data baseline between your physical on-set lighting environment and your digital RAW developing software’s color management engine, this premium pocket-sized target replaces guesswork with objective, pixel-perfect camera profiling.
When executing an equipment hire for complex multi-camera studio advertising campaigns, mixed-lighting lookbooks, or unpredictable outdoor location shoots in Hong Kong, slight hardware variations across sensors and color casts from secondary lights introduce severe color mismatching and muddy skin tones. The X-Rite ColorChecker Passport solves this operational bottleneck flawlessly. Featuring 24 scientifically engineered matte pigment patches that replicate natural subjects (like human skin, foliage, and blue sky), it builds a secure visual communication link that maps uncompressed data paths straight into your post-production software, ensuring your color grading pipeline remains completely synchronized under continuous production pressure.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Multi-Camera Color Matching on Set: Provides a rock-solid, uniform visual benchmark across disparate camera bodies (such as Nikon, Canon, or Sony setups) to perfectly align sensor outputs prior to grading.
-
Commercial RAW Photo Color Profiling: Shoots a reference frame at the start of each lighting setup to instantly generate custom DNG or ICC profiles within Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One Pro.
-
Cinematic Video DaVinci Grading Setup: Serves as the precise physical grid target for automated color balance tracking within the DaVinci Resolve color gallery, trimming color-correction cycles down drastically.
-
Scientifically Formulated 24-Patch Matrix: Industry-standard matte color patches meticulously calibrated to represent real-world tones for objective color balance verification.
-
Ultra-Pure Hardware White Balance Target: Specialized uniform matte surface provides a flat, neutral spectral baseline to lock in precise in-camera white balance values on set.
-
Creative Enhancement & Tonal Tuning Grids: Built-in warm and cool tuning patch arrays allow digital capture assistants to safely preview and shift shadow or highlight white balance settings.
-
Rugged Pocket-Sized Travel Armor Shell: Heavy-duty hard plastic protective case folds completely flat or stands rigid at multi-angle positions to shade targets from glare on location.
-
Universal Software Mapping Calibration Support: Native hardware compatibility pairs perfectly with standalone ColorChecker Camera Calibration software, Lightroom plug-ins, and grading suites.

-
Q: Are digital camera kits, lens adapters, laptop computers, or premium software licenses included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone X-Rite ColorChecker Passport target board and its integrated hard shell case only. It is intentionally priced to offer highly flexible, low-overhead color utility allocations for digital assistants, event shooters, or freelance media operators who already manage their preferred camera bodies and simply require a certified physical color reference tool on location. If your crew requires an independent compute or capture engine, please remember to add our Mac mini M4 compute modules, Nikon professional lenses, or Manfrotto laptop decks to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What is the exact workflow advantage of shooting this 24-patch target over a standard simple 18% gray card on a commercial shoot?
A: A standard 18% gray card can only help your technical assistant calculate a uniform white balance exposure value at a single middle-gray point; it cannot map color saturation, evaluate complex color shifting across deep shadow matrices, or correct individual sensor deviations. The ColorChecker Passport houses 24 distinct color patches mapping individual primary, secondary, and skin tones. This allows your raw developer software to build a comprehensive, multi-dimensional camera profile that realigns individual color channels perfectly, providing a level of absolute color fidelity that a simple gray card cannot achieve.
-
Q: Can we touch the physical color patches to position the board, and how do we prevent reflection glare from ruining the scan on set?
A: Please do not touch the physical color patches under any circumstances. The 24 matte patches are engineered using specialized, highly sensitive pigment formulations; skin oils from your fingers will permanently degrade the color metrics and ruin the target’s accuracy for future technical crews. To avoid harsh reflection glare on set, use the Passport’s rigid self-standing case to position the target slightly angled away from direct hard lighting sources, ensuring a smooth, evenly distributed diffuse exposure across the target face.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
