With the rising popularity of digital photography a growing number of photographers are using grey cards to ensure their photographs are properly exposed and colour corrected.

Lastolite has taken the grey card to another level with the development of the innovative Ezybalance "Point and Shoot". The unique gun sight on the collapsible card allows the photographer to achieve perfect focus every shot, and because the Ezybalance is an 18% grey the shot will also be perfectly exposed. All this is achieved by simply placing the Ezybalance near the subject and half depressing the shutter on any digital camera, then removing the card and full depressing the shutter for the perfect shot.

The Ezybalance "Point and Shoot" also comes with a white surface on the back to accurately white balance the camera as you go.
Collapsible to 1/3 its open size
Shape Round corner square
Size Open 20"
Size Collapsed 8"
Surfaces 18% Grey/White

    This is an item I have held off buying for quite a while, but once I started using it I wondered why I waited so long. As a pro photographer, I certainly understand the value of performing custom white balance checks prior to a shoot. Up till now, I had been using an old 8x10 grey card, the kind that our friends in Rochester make. It did the job but sometimes it was too small to get an accurate reading off of. After a while, the cardboard would get dirty, bent or both and would have to be replaced. The Lastolite EZYBalance Card solves all these problems. First of all, I don't know why they call it a card because it isn't. A collapsible grey disk would be more accurate. At 20" in diameter, it is the perfect size to me, although I believe they do have a bigger one if you need it. This one collapses into a mere 9" disk which is ideal for transporting or fitting into a camera bag. The grey side is a perfect 18% grey and it includes crosshairs for easier focusing. The reverse side is white if you prefer to color correct using white, and would even make an excellent small light reflector if none other were available. It is well made and should stand up to years of heavy use. The disk comes in a nice canvas case. I love it!

    I used it recently as the photographer for a fitness expo shooting competitors portraits and on-stage performances. It worked great, BUT.... I was under the impression that the white side (needed by us Canon users) also had the focusing target on it. It doesn't, only the grey side for those other cameras has a target. Therefore I had to focus on my assistant and re-compose onto the card in order to fill the sensor with white. Lastolite, what happened?

    Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 20":

    I purchased the Grey card for use in my photography diploma for general use. As usual the item was delivered on time by UPS. My wife and I have commented on the efficient service and the tracking service provided by B&H in the past. They didn't let me down. I ordered three smaller cards on a lanyard from a retail outlet in Sydney which is my home time thinking they would arrive within two days. The retailer didn't have what I ordered and what he sent me was damaged. I am requesting a refund. Will order the DGK set for in the field from B&H shortly.

      I'm a budding novice and this thing has completely changed how my pics look. I'm over the mental-block hump of my entrance into photography and this is a big part of it.
      Just fantastic.

            The grey/white card ensures my white balance is set just right at the time of taking the photos. All I have to do is manually set my cameras white balance after a test shot and presto.The colors are correct right off the bat and saves me post production time. Very simple. Good packaging too with the zipper cover. Recommend it :)

              Easy to open and close. I'm not sure about the white balance yet, it seems kinda yellow to me. Still need to test it out. But I like the size and the gray card is gray.

              We all know that if you don't get the white balance correct in camera, you have to make adjustments on the computer - sometimes hours and hours of adjustments.

              This product lets you get the white balance right in the camera in a few seconds and will save you time and money in your overall workflow.

              I use this product on all of my shoots. It is quick, works flawlessly, folds up small - I usually slip it under my belt on my back for quick access, is very well constructed, and will literally save you hours of computer face time.

              Get this product - you won't be disappointed!

              I use every time I turn my camera on. Light sources change from one moment to the next you should adjust your white balance just as often. Your camera is only programmed to guess at colors. The human eye is able to distinguish the difference between white and off white, then think about how much you spent on your camera; still or video, don't you want to get good colors?! If you bought a nice camera thinking it's going to just magically produce accurate colors you'll soon learn it's not the cameras fault. This thing is great once you use it you will understand why ALL the pros use it.

                  I used this recently on a shoot as the light changed. Cut my post production dramatically! Used it for both white balance and exposure. So easy, folds down quickly, even used it as a magic trick to entertain the kids while waiting!

                      This card is large enough to give easy measuring, and folds into a tight circle. The flip side is white, just in case you need a reflector. The results provide for great color, and it folds small enough to fit into my camera case.

                        I use ths grey card mostly when I do interior pictures for work. It's a bit larger than I expected & think I need, however, it collapes & fits in a great handy case with carring strap. I love it.

                                Purchased on the spot after watching Lastolite's demo reel of it. It's exactly what you think it is: a big, portable, foldable gray card that you hand to your model or place in front of your subject, to give you an accurate reading for setting your white balance. Because it's also 18% gray, it can be used as a highly reliable center point for exposure value, so you're not at the mercy of your camera's built-in exposure metering schema.

                                Pros of using this system are size -- you don't have to be a foot away from your dinky cardboard gray card to get a reading or redo a reading; dual-duty construction -- the rear is a highly reflective white reflector; and Lastolite quality -- no I'm not on the dole... it's just really nice equipment and once you get a couple items of theirs, you'll see.

                                Drawbacks of course are the lack of spontaneity, more stuff in your bag, etc., but these are pretty negligible compared to the benefits of getting spot-on color every time, and having a reliable "zero" point for your exposure from which you can creatively vary.

                                  So far this has been a very useful tool. I can't imagine going back to shooting without it. My colors are more true than ever before and makes going from original photo to finished product much faster. I am absolutely happy with this product.

                                    After struggling with other brands of cards thinking that the grey side was a true medium grey I was turned on to this little baby.

                                    The grey side is a true middle (18%) grey and the white side it white.

                                    The focus target makes it easy to use
                                    It easily folds to a convenient size
                                    The price is right

                                      I use this 18% grey card for white balance and reflective exposure reading. I find it easy to use and pretty accurate. Does exactly what I needed it to do,excellent for studio and portrait use. Simple device, Lightweights ,folds up easily.

                                        Not much to write here...

                                        It is a white balance card that is easy to use. Lastolite also provides videos to instruct how to use the balance card should one need instruction.

                                        Good price - mine came with a bag and seems pretty indestructible. Plan on having use of it for a long time which is great!
