Review on 🎨 DGK Color Tools DKC-Pro 5x7 Set of 2 White Balance and Color Calibration Charts - Achieve Pro-Quality Results with 12% and 18% Gray - Includes Frame Stand and User Guide by Kirt Phillips

It's OK, but better coverage/protection is needed.

Haven't tested this on my scopes but for the packaging I like that there are two of them and each has a little protective piece of cardboard. I want each of them to have their own fold-out protective case. Like a birthday card or something hard and bouncy that will hold the DGK inside and allow me to wrap it up without worrying about the individual tiles (they're glued to the sheet of paper) getting scratched or scraped off. I really wanted the bigger version, but getting something that's only 9x11 costs $70. And it's too much when you can get color-accurate tiles at this price. I would pay a few times more for a larger version like 11x17. Because I need it in a live camera situation and there is no "post processing" to crop the image and do the calibration. It's happening on set, across multiple cameras, so something tiny means they all have to be very close together. Anything else would help enormously. to crop the image and perform the calibration.

Pros
  • The swatches are 100% coated with DGK n-Chrome technology, resulting in much higher color saturation, brightness and color fidelity while eliminating metamerism.
Cons
  • Only available in black
