ExpoImaging has just introduced the ExpoDisc Digital White Balance Filter for video production, based on its popular white balance filter for photography,. The disc acts like an 18% gray card when used to measure incident light, and so can be used instead. The design enables the disc to receive, scramble and passively transmit mixed light from a wide angle in front through to the back image sensor for accurate white balance correction. ExpoDisc filters are available with quick pressure release mounts in standard sizes, including 52mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm, as well as 4×5.65 flats. Prices range from $69.95 to $169.95. www.expoimaging.net
