Great quality

These things are expensive for what they are... But they are color accurate, and have a sturdy construction. Right out of the box I tested one of my cameras and found that it needed some slight adjustments. When shooting with any compressed format it is important to limit how much color correction you need in post.
This Chart is the best value for Rec 709

This chart is for precise color alignment of HD cameras. It has been calibrated to fit the vector targets at 2x scale - so it takes the guesswork out of color tweaking your HD cameras to match a Rec 709 color space.
