DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard - Event White Balance Card with Premium Lanyard
The Digital Grey Kard - Event from Digital Image Flow is a medium-sized white balance card designed to provide a reference for digital color correction, and is the simplest, most powerful and accurate white balance tool you can buy. The neutral spectral characteristics of this card have been measured and verified using the X-Rite Eye-One spectrophotometer making it perfect for studio or on-location shooting to provide critical color control.
The Digital Grey Kard - Event consists of a 5 x 7 x 1/8" (127 x 178 x 3mm) color calibrated white balance tool/color reference card, a premium quality lanyard, and a user's guide that makes it easy to achieve perfect color balance. The convenient premium lanyard makes finding and retrieving the Digital Grey Kard easy, even if it is buried deep in your gear bag.

Using a digital gray card can really help when setting custom white balance and getting it closer to right in-camera. This particular one is best for digital photography. I like the size: not too big and not too small. Fits in my camera bag but is still big enough to easily fill the frame when using it.
I find that when I use this outside, especially in shaded settings, it produces images that are slightly warmer than I'd like, but that's an easy fix in post. I still like it!

This card is fine for white balancing your camera. Its gray is significantly lighter than 18% middle gray and is therefore useless for setting exposure. That's a shame as having a sturdy, washable true gray card would be very useful. (The standard cardboard ones become dirty and damaged.) Sloppy design.

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard - Event White Balance Card with Premium Lanyard:
This card is a reliable neutral patch for tagging RAW files, and the 5x7 size is large enough to be used as a preset target with normal to telephoto lenses. The product is simply a quality-controlled plastic panel and it should give a long service life if given reasonable care. A very effective means to assure white balance control in original camera files.

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard - Event White Balance Card with Premium Lanyard:
Using this card to white balance for professional video yielded a white balance with a small but definite greenish cast. Not planning on using this anymore and would not recommend it.

Comments about DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard - Event White Balance Card with Premium Lanyard:
I use this when photographing my wife's water media art. She is a stickler for accurate color, and by including this grey card in the shot, that accurate color is only a click away (Lightroom 3).

It's durable, convenient, and accurate, perfect for those who are on the go.
