We have gotten back the results from a survey sent to 111 photographers.
All of the feedback was
very positive. The only exceptions were a few problems with shipping which are being remedied. A few people had not had it long enough to comment on the performance.
We also had some suggestions to make the Color Parrot using one piece. We are working on this. We also heard that not many people are using the base mount, so we have dropped the base mount from the product to save on cost.
Here is a sample of some of the feedback we are getting from working pros in the field.
“My husband and I are very satisfied with the Color Parrot. It is the easiest white balance tool we have found. We started using it the day we received it, and we don’t take our cameras anywhere without it; which means it is always with us.”
“We are so happy with this tool. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made for my husband and myself. I’m always trying new things to try and make things easier, and this is one of the first things I have purchased that my husband really likes. Thank you for such a good item.”

“The Color Parrot works very well. It saves lots of time and colors are very good. It performed very well in a number of gyms that had various light sources. Extremely pleased. This really cut down on my post processing. This is very simple to operate. I shoot with a Canon 5D.”
Kent Holder

Before the Color Parrot he set white balance in post-production
“The Color Parrot performed surprisingly well over the Expodisk. The Color Parrot gave me a good white balance.”

“Great Experience”
Nicholas Ong

Compared to the WhiBal “it is great. Getting the color is easier, as it is real time, versus having to go fix the white balance in post-production.”
David Schow

“Easy to use.”
Jerry Morris

I “am really enjoying using it, that’s for sure.”
“Recent scenario: In a wedding chapel. Party is near candles. There is flourescent lighting in the chapel. Recessed spot lighting above the bride and groom and massive amounts of window light peering through stained glass windows. The color of the light? Pft. This is where the CP came into action. My subjects skin tones looked nice and so did the surrounding areas. Time in Photoshop = NONE!
Talk about saving on workflow.”
