Nice product - read on to find out how to fold it properly!

This is a smart little product that fully meets my needs. I used mine to do a custom white balance in the field on my Nikon D600. It was packaged in a small zip bag that opens when you take it out. I mean dad! It weighs like a feather, and the fabric-over-wire construction means it's super easy to set it up against a tree or anything in the field, set the white balance, and then put it away. So it's both compact and weighs less than 4 ounces, making it a great fit for your gear bag in the field. The wire frame makes it less likely than a gray map piece. Cloth means it may also be able to be cleaned. Exactly what I wanted for the field! Light, cheap, reliable, practical. My D600 read a gray face but no white face. To fold it back up to fit back in your pocket: Note that it's roughly rectangular with 4 corners. With both hands, grasp two cat corners or diagonally opposite corners, any two, as long as they are cat corners. Bring the 2 corners together so they pinch in the middle. Now you have 2 corners together and it looks like a butterfly shape. Holding the clenched corners with one hand, rotate that arm inward toward you, so the back of that arm is facing to the side and the 2 "butterfly wings" are facing you. With your other hand, lift the bottom wing up and into the center so that you can now pinch that lobe with that hand as well. which is clamped in the middle. Now holding everything with one hand, move the other lobe up and down from the top and pin it together in the smallest size while keeping it squeezed and slide it back into the bag while keeping it shrunken. Much needs to be written down for you, but do it once and it's forever! Now holding everything with one hand, move the other lobe up and down from the top and pin it together in the smallest size while keeping it squeezed and slide it back into the bag while keeping it shrunken. Much needs to be written down for you, but do it once and it's forever!
