Note:
Avoid exposing the chart to bright light and store it in its cover when it is not in use. Also, avoid touching the color patches and protect it from dust, high temperature, humidity, or chemical fumes. Depending on use, Calibrite recommends replacing the ColorChecker charts every two to four years depending on the amount of light to which the ColorChecker targets/chart is exposed.
Use For
Software Compatibility
ColorChecker Passport Video is supported by 3rd party software solutions for improved color grading and monitor calibration efficiencies. Supported software includes (but is not limited to):
DaVinci Resolve
3DLUT Creator
Video Color Target
The grayscale chips run vertically, which matches a waveform monitor's display much better than a horizontal scale does. Further, the chromatic and skin tone chips match the video spectrum, and line up with the target axis on a vectorscope.
White Balance Target
Creating in-camera white balance helps to start at a neutral point for all images you capture. Balancing your footage to a consistent color balance makes editing go smoother, and is less jarring when cutting from one shot to the next. The consistent color balance can also speed up color correction, and with the increased speed and ease, you may find yourself with more time and energy to explore creative color choices. With this chart you can:
Eliminate color casts
Improve the color preview on your camera's display
Make post-production color correction and editing faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize each frame/shot individually
Grayscale Target
The three panels of the grayscale target are white, 40 IRE gray, and black. These targets can be used to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching on set, and can help ensure that mid-tones, such as flesh tones, are rendered accurately. The combination of the white, gray, and black patches allow you to evaluate your exposure to prevent your highlights from clipping, while protecting your shadow detail, and 40 IRE provides a good standard to compare your exposure on faces to.
Focus Target
The focus target can be used to confirm / adjust your lens's flange focus / back focus distance. You can also use it to shoot focus test and compare your different lenses sharpness to each other.
Passport Case
ColorChecker Passport Video was designed for convenience and portability so that you can take it with you to every shoot. The travel-sized case is made of a rugged plastic material that houses and protects the four targets from the elements and extends their lifespan.
The self-standing Passport case adjusts to multiple positions, allowing you the flexibility to place the targets exactly where you need them. Plus, the included lanyard ensures your Passport is close at hand during every photo shoot.

The plastic case is a wonderful feature. It protects the reflective surfaces from dirt and damage in rugged environs. If you're working in BT.709, put the white patch at 100 IRE, gray at 41 and black at 19 IRE.
Expensive... but very helpful and handy.

For what it is, it seems offensively over priced. But that said, this item is very well built. Its solid and sturdy construction feels reassuring that it will be the last one of these ridiculously expensive contraptions i will need to buy. Time will tell. Thus far I am appreciating how helpful this small tool is, and it will definitely live in my tech pouch, and be taken on every photo adventure I embark upon.

This has changed the way I edit, I get constantly more accurate colors and matching an 8-bit Mirrorless and 10-bit Raw file haven't been easier

This is one of those tools that everyone just keeps putting off and works around not having one, but this is a must have if you run video shoots with multiple/different cameras. It's also a great tool to profile your lenses and get them to match as better straight out of camera. Would recommend... just pull the trigger.

Can I use this for both Photo & Video? I want to be able to use this to make a profile for Lightroom and use for video in the future.
Typically, the Photo targets can only be used for Photo and Video targets for Video. The only real use that I see that the CC Passport Video would have for Photo is White Balancing in postproduction or in-camera with the White Balance target.
