Review: Nifty Product - Read on for how to get it to fold correctly! - This a clever little product that meets my need perfectly. I used mine to perform custom white balancing in the field on my Nikon D600. It came in a small zip bag and pops open when you take it out. I mean Pop! It weighs like a feather and it's cloth over wire frame construction means it's very easy to set up against a tree or whatever in the field, set white balance, then pack it away. So it's both compact and under 4 oz., great for your gear bag in the field. The wire frame makes it less likely than a piece of gray card to blow away. The cloth means it's possibly cleanable as well. Just what I wanted for the field! Light, cheap, reliable, practical. My D600 read the grey face but not the white face. Here's how to fold it back up so it'll fit back into the pouch: Note that it is roughly rectangular with 4 corners. With both hands pinch two catty corners or opposite corners on the diagonal, doesn't matter which two as long as they're catty corner. Bring the 2 corners together so it's pinched together in the middle. You now have 2 corners together and it looks like a sort of butterfly shape. Holding the pinched corners with one hand, turn that hand inward towards you so the back of that hand faces away and the 2 "butterfly wings" face at you. Using your other hand bring the bottom wing up and into the middle so you can now pinch that lobe as well with the hand that has the middles pinched. Now holding all that with one hand, bring the other lobe over and down on top and, keeping it pinched bring it all together in the smallest size and slip it back into the pouch whilst keeping it all pinched together. A lot to write down for you, but do this once and it's a cinch forever!
Review: Met my requirements - Works as advertised! Nice, simple, decent carry case! Tom

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you use this to set custom white balance in camera or during processing? I know it can be used for both. Just seeing what's more common with this.**
A: So if I am reading everyone correctly, here, then this is how to use this thing; for jpeg shots, you set your white balance with this thing then you go shoot.  So, if you change lighting then you need to redo your white balance before moving on.  If you shoot raw, then you take a shot of this thing, then set white balance in LR or PS against that shot, and then use that for all other shots in the same lighting.  If your lighting changes, then you have to take another test shot to set your WB with in LR/PS.  Am I understanding that correctly?

**Q: I ordered this card a month ago, and it folded down to a smaller size. This no longer looks to be the case. Is this now a different card?**
A: It can be folded into a smaller size like a 80/110 cm reflector, we just do not fold & pack it any more.

**Q: What is the difference between this one and a similar one with white/gray/black? And another one with multiple color squares that looks like makeup?**
A: Hi, 
This one and the similar one with black/white/grey are used to adjust white balance on your camera.  The other color square cards are used for color calibration.

**Q: Is the "white" side appropiate for white balance?**
A: I use the grey side for white balance and it worked perfectly.
