Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Durable, too. It saves a lot of time. Thankfully it's the only one you need. The lanyard is a nice little bonus also.

The compact size (the cards fit in my tamrac 515 camera case) means i carry the cards with me anywhere i take my camera; without inconvenience, bulk or a lot of extra weight. It fits in my pocket without any extra bulk.

Grey card comes with the company branded logo on a sticker on one side. The grey card i store in between the two and it is still flawless.

I haven't had any of the issues encountered in the other reviews, and for the price they work quite well.

At that price, even if it had been just the grey card, i'd be satisfied.

For the price these are a no-brainer.

Packaging/appearance

Packaging is good, build quality is great and the neck strap is a good one (the same shown in the picture).

Comes on a lanyard which i did not know until it arrived and i love that extra feature for easy access while doing a photoshoot!

The directions that came with it should probably have been proof read before being packaged (lots of errors) and not so easy to understand.

The only thing is that it came a little striped gray card .

Competitiveness

It does both -- it compares well to the gray patches on a calibrite (ex-x-rite) colorchecker, much better than similar cards fr... Read More
