Lastolite EZYBalance Collapsible 18% Grey/White Balance Card - 30"
With the rising popularity of digital photography a growing number of photographers are using grey cards to ensure their photographs are properly exposed and color 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 |

I love this Grey Card, the 30" square size will cover any focal length lens you own, simply point the camera at the target on the Grey Card, take a custom "White Balance" reading, and away you go!!!
It also doubles as a great reflector as the rear side of the Card is white.
Totally collapsible, easy to store, very well made, I expect I'll get many years of dependable service from this product, well worth the price.

Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 30":
This pop-up has saved many set-ups. Use the 18% grey side to check exposure in a waveform or histogram. Use the white side for exposure and white balance as well. Also a nice fill card in a pinch.

Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 30":
This is a 30 inch 18% Grey Card with a 30 inch White card on the obverse. I use this in conjunction with a Canon 1D MK IV, a 5D MK !!, and a Sekonic L-358 to make exposure readings. Of course the grey side is for exposure readings and the white side works with your cameras processors to help you set perfect white balance for every shooting environment.
The 30 inch size is great for every situation. Before shooting hand it to either a helper or one of your subjects. Take readings with your camera then repeat with a light meter capable of making reflected light readings. Perfect exposure every time. Read a book on exposure to improve your results. My old favorite is "The Weston Zone System".
It is 30 inches diagonal in use but folds up and fits into a case that is about 9 inches across!

Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 30":
I have been searching and searching for the perfect tool to measure white balance (from Expodisc, CBL Lens, Lally Cap, etc...) and this item from Lastolite is by far the best white balance calibration tool I have ever owned. I purchased the 30" so I can use it in my studio as well as bringing on location.
If you are considering purchasing this item, I would highly recommend that you buy the largest size (30") as it will cover all the lens focal lengths. You will not be disappointed... Splurge and get one! Once you have it, you'll ask yourself how you've ever lived without it.
Lastolite make quality products and they are the first manufacturer I turn to for my lighting components.

I work in Iraq and often find myself in different lighting conditions. This is easy to carry and use and can double as a shade or reflector. Little if any post editing needed.

Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 30":
Takes less than a minute to create a custom white balance before shooting and that eliminates any post processing to to get the color correct. If you change your lighting conditions it's a snap to make another custom white balance. It folds up and comes with a durable case that takes up little room.

Making the perfect white balance befor the shooting was not an easy task. An A4 paper was not big enough, etc... It's better then a pure white paper, much bigger, simple better...
Pros
- Folds up compactly
- White reflector included
Cons
- None so far
Best Uses
- On-site white balance
Comments about Lastolite EZYBalance Grey/White Card - 30":
I shoot both stills and HD video, and needed a good-sized grey target for custom white balance. EZYBalance not only gives me the target size I need, but provides a white reflector/white balance target, as well. Recently, I shot three days of video under fluorescent lights and didn't have to white balance after the fact! Great savings in processing time!
