The QuikBalance Collapsible 22" Gray Panel from Impact is a convenient tool to ensure that your photos and videos are accurately exposed and color balanced. One side of the panel is 18% gray, while the other side is neutral white. By taking a photo or video of either the white or gray side of the panel in the same lighting conditions as your final image, you can accurately adjust exposure and color balance in camera, or in your post-production software.

Accurate Color Balance and Exposure    18% Gray and Neutral White    Focus Target    Collapses to 1/3 Full Size    Zippered Storage Sleeve Included

The gray side of the panel has a target in the center so that your lens can find a focus point.

The panel collapses to just 1/3 of its full size, allowing it to fit in most camera bags.

A zippered storage sleeve is included to keep the panel collapsed during transport.

The panel has a convenient loop on one side, allowing you to attach it to a support stand.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does this hold the reflector? I don't see any clamps in the photo.

A: The holder has two 'wings' that you can see in the photo - one at the top and the other at the bottom. Using your fingers, simply grab these two wings and pull them to the center post. This opens up the 'clamp' into which you insert the rim of the reflector -- then let go of the wings with your finger and boom - a nice tight grip on the reflector. I have the holder mounted on a tripod that I had been using for a strobe. It works very well - sturdy.

Q: 2. Has anyone found a smart way to fly with this?? I've checked it with just the bag it comes in but it's getting a little beat up so I'd love a padded sleeve at least. Asking for a friend.

A: If you're looking to add an extra layer of protection within the case, I would personally recommend a heavy duty (flattened) cardboard box or corrugated shipping pads, which can be found at any office supply store. It won't add significant weight and can help shield the backdrop in the case.

Q: 3. Has anyone compared this to the tri-panelled Photovision One Shot for setting WB? (Bonus if compared on Nikon gear). Thank you!

A: No, but this gray card works great and accurate color balance

Q: 4. For the pure white (non-reversible) is it translucent enough to place a flash behind it to get a really white background?

Q: 8. Can the background be used in portrait and landscape modes?

A: It can be used in both orientations.

Q: 9. How do you keep this upright? Do you hang it or put it on a stand?
