G7 Certified Neutral White Balance Pocket Card - Reference Gray Card (2.1" x 3.35")

Digital cameras are marvelous devices in that the newer versions often have an automatic white balance feature built in. This is great, until you find that the fantastic photo that you took of someone comes out with a greenish skin cast or make their face look like they had a mild sunburn. Then you have to fiddle with your photo editing software to hopefully correct it, spending valuable time when you could have been doing better things. The WhiBal G7 Certified Neutral White Balance Card is the perfect field tool for this. It's a small keychain card, measuring 1" x 2.2", and is attached to a stainless steel Nite Ize S-Biner #1 that's about 1½ long. It came in a small zip-lock style bag with an explanation card, and listed the Michael Tapes Design site where support information can be found. Though they show it attached to a key ring, I chose to keep it in my camera bag so that I can clip it to a zipper pull when in the field. This simple little product gives the photographer an easy, fast and cost effective way to get accurate color results when shooting with digital cameras. Whether you shoot RAW or JPEG, the WhiBal card is an excellent tool for reproducing accurate color in any shooting situation. This G7 card is waterproof and won't absorb dirt. It can be rinsed off in the sink, and can be cleaned with a non-abrasive glass cleaner if it's gets scruffy in use. If this version is too small, there's also the larger WhiBal G7 Certified Neutral White Balance Card , a pocket card which measures 2.1" x 3.35" which is about the size of a credit card. There are other larger sizes as well. This WhiBal G7 Certified Neutral White Balance Card lives up to the product description, and the Michael Tapes Design support site has excellent info. It's a good asset to have with newer digital cameras, but it's excellent with older ones which may have white balance issues. It's an excellent way of getting white balance right with a digital camera. 4/17/2013

the small card is great to get a good white balance in your editing software, just take a phot or video with the card in it and use the white balance picker in the software to select the card. now if your trying to set the white balance on your camera this might be a bit small without moving the camera really close to the subject, you always want the card to be next to the subject so your getting the light at the subject.. not in front of or behind setting the balance with some cards always gives me a red tint on my sony camera, i see this adjust the white balance and the tint when i use it in camera and it seems to get rid of that red tint

I'm very happy with this WhiBal card. It's extremely easy to use, portable enough to take anywhere my camera goes, and has made a big difference in color balancing. I used to spend lots of time tweaking in-camera and in post editing to try and match the colors I was seeing before they were shot with my camera. Now, I can honestly say, the time spent doing the above is minimal. There are so many products, from very cheap (from coffee filters to playing "I spy something white") to very expensive contraptions claiming a white balance experience so incredible you'll feel like a York Peppermint Patty from the clean, clear cooling effect. I figured I'd meet somewhere in the middle and invested in a professionally designed device with clear instructions, a professionally presented website, and a lot of positive reviews from people who have actually purchased and used this item. After using the WhiBal card, I am glad I did not over-buy a more sophisticated product that may be excellent, but would be overkill for what I needed. I'm also glad I didn't just settle for utilizing a vagrant white target I could try and balance my colors on. I plan on buying the smaller card I can keep in my wallet for those spontaneous shots my studio card isn't invited to. I haven't been in the dslr arena very long, and I don't profess to know everything about digital photography, but when I do drink beer....I prefer Dos.....Oops....I'll just close by saying this white balance card is excellent, and I couldn't be happier.

If you have advanced far enough in your photography or videography to realize AWB hardly ever produces good results, you need WhiBal! It is so much faster to get the colour right at the time of shooting than trying to figure out what is wrong with your colour in editing. I prefer the studio size in the field. It is still pocket sized.

A pesar de su tamaño la tarjeta cumple con el objetivo perfectamente, permitiendo ajustar la cámara para que capte los colores correctos en distintos escenarios y tipos de luz, es de gran utilidad, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Cuesta un poco hacer el enfoque por el tamaño de la tarjeta, sin embargo, nada extraordinario.

Compact, solid and handy

Sturdy and compact, should last a long while. Pretty pricey for a card though!
