X-Rite Chroma 5 Colorimeter
The standard Chroma 5 colorimeter is an exceptional product. Its accuracy can approach the i1Pro, and it offers reasonable speed and excellent low-light performance that is typical of this design.
It is also one of the easiest devices to use because it requires no dark reading calibration.
If I were to choose a single sub-$1000 meter for video calibrations, this is the device I would select.
