Nice quality. Small in size so it's portable. Helps to get your exposure settings dialed in. When I switch out lenses, as long as the A, ISO and SS stay the same no need to re-test. Of course, as lighting or conditions change remember to re-test for good exposure. As with anything it may not always be 100% perfect but it is a nice tool to help understand what good exposure looks like and how to get it. Can help give confidence you are ready to go.

Color Checker Gray Balance Card

ColorChecker Mini Gray Balance card is a pocket size version of the 18% Gray reference square used in the standard 24-patch ColorChecker. This Gray is scientifically engineered to provide a precise uniform surface that is spectrally neutral (reflects equal amounts of red, blue and green) in all types of light conditions. The photographer can now have confidence that the camera's raw image is as close to real life as possible.
ColorChecker Mini Gray Balance gives photographers a way to adjust the digital camera's color sensitivity to exactly match the ambient lighting conditions, in effect, change what the camera0 "sees". The perceived color of white often changes based on ambient conditions - outdoor it is perceived to be cooler, indoor it is perceived to be warmer and under fluorescent light it is perceived to be greener. Even in a controlled studio environment, establishing an accurate custom white balance ensures an accurate image from the start of each new photo session.
