Cine Meter II

Ive always wanted to read colour temperature. At this price its a dream come true. Thanks Dev.

Ive mainly tested the spot for kelvin metering for quick checks on location of downlights etc and its within 100 degrees of balancing to white cards everytime, i suspect the white card reading were off!

For the amount of times I require a colour meter, the price has normally put them out of reach but thanks to your incredible app (coupled with Luxi) I am able to accurately read colour information...all on my iPhone. Thanks for all the hard work you've put it behind the scenes to make this amazing app. You are a genius !

Please make some simple tutorial videos - the documentation is overly wordy, dense and confusing - and spread over multiple webpages. I’ve read the docs several times and still having difficulty using this to match a light to ambient. It’s more of an interface problem than a technical one. For example, I just want to point it at one light (or ambient) and then point it at another light and have it tell me what I need to make it match. Maybe it can do this but I cannot find it.

You need a 1500 $ color meter or a spot on incandescent source to calibrate the kelvin, you also need a professional light meter to calibrate the aperture readout. (To the best of my observation you cannot calibrate the lux/ Foot Candle output (AND the Lux read out is therefore incorrect as compared with my pro meter. After I purchased I finally read the fine print in the manual that says “tint correction values shown are appropriate for full spectrum sources with fluorescent LED’s and other “discontinuous spectrum sources” you typically need 1/2 to 2/3 of the tint correction shown.

Every time I navigate in or out of the settings menu I get a pop up window that says “no mail accounts.” Telling my to set a mail account on my phone. Of which I already have several. Very annoying. Not for professional use. Sad, because there are some good elements but overshadowed by poor UX design 😕

For aspiring cinematographers (and probably professional ones as well) this is an amazing app. I will be using it regularly for my fledgling short film productions. Also great customer service. Five stars all around.

Cine Meter II is a very useful and accurate light and color meter for video and stills (both digital and silver). It is an accurate spot meter (matches my venerable Pentax and my newer Sekonic perfectly after one calibration) and with a Luxi sphere works as an incident meter also (matches my Sekonic too, after calibration). Even better, it is a color meter, and seems *more* accurate than my old Minolta, matching my Kinos to cheap fluorescents. While this won't replace my meters (but it probably could) I don't bother carrying my older ones any more... The developer is super responsive too!

I love this app. To have a color temp meter for $25 + cost of a little white dome? Amazing! Only thing, the app received an update a few days ago, and now it won't open. At all. I deleted it and downloaded it again, in case I had a rare corrupted copy — but nope. The fresh download is busted, too. There was a catastrophic bug that shipped in the last package. I hope you are on it, Adam Wilt. I won't give you one star for a bug that will hopefully get fixed immediately (since low stars are forever). But, well, it's a zero star app at the moment, because it's working zero percent. Please fix soon.

Adam, I love the app and have used it for years with the Lumu alongside my Sekonic. I just purchased the Lumu Power before having realized it's not supported by CineMeter. Do you have any plans to support? Curious what barriers might stand in the way if any. Great product!
