STOP ORDERING THESE! Please wait till my samples are delivered. Its going to look suspicious when they get 15 requests for the same 3 free plates.

I have Kodak grey cards but they are not durable and I can't keep it inside my pocket. Looking for something small which I can always carry like key chain. I saw couple of white balance / color correction card on ebay but none plastic based.

For mobility (supplied with a belt pouch & strap) and durability, I use a 77mm Expodisc. It is as good as the white side of Kodak's grey card. 3-4X expensive than cards, but it will last at least 20 years of field use.

X-rite has a pocket sized white balance target as well as a colour checker all in one.

Got the Wilsonart laminate samples yesterday. Brief test show they are absolutely usable. May not be 100% right but for the low price of free - I'm not one to complain
