Digital Image Flow DGK Color Tools Event White Balance Card with Premium Lanyard

DGK's Event 5" x 7" Grey Card is a nice addition to my field camera bag. The 5" x 7" size is ideal for self-holding or subject positioning. In addition, it fits well in my messenger style camera bag.DGK's calibration & serialization breeds confidence in the card's accuracy. Upon receipt, I did quick white balance field tests with indoor & outdoor subjects. I am pleased to say DGK's grey card appears to work as advertised. Note - my tests are not technical, just comparative w/previous shots of similar subjects in similar conditions.I really like the DGK card's overall build - feels like its made of a type of pvc material and its a little less than an 1/8" thick. Should be durable through the rigors of daily projects.My only not-so-positive remark is that the lanyard hole had significant burrs along the circumference of the hole on both sides. Not a deal breaker since i used a deburring tool to remove them by hand.Finally, I use a thick mil freezer bag (without the zip-lock) to store my DGK grey card in my camera bag. Just keeps it from getting scratched/scuffed. Overall, a must have to manage white balance and its reasonably priced!

The does the job, and it's tough enough to just toss into a back pack, camera bag and won't get creased. It's almost like a plastic and with it's size it fills the frame on my D50 when I hold it at arms length. Comes with a lanyard that features a clip, which I don't use. I use the card, and throw it back in the bag don't know why anyone would want to cary around their neck. Nice thought, though. I'll probally use the lanyard for something else!
