ExpoDisc for White Balance - any users?

[DVStory]

Does anyone have any feedback on using the ExpoDisc for white balancing with the DVX100? I emailed the company and though they advertise it for use with Digital still cameras they say it works great with digital camcorders as well.

Here's a link to the product:

I read about it on the Digital Producers web site at:

Thanks for any feedback.

I have a 72mm ExpoDisc and use it routinely with my DVX100A. It works really well! I've always gotten perfect white balance and have done numerous comparison tests with the camera's AWB -- the ExpoDisc always wins. I have not done a comparison test against the standard "point it at something white" technique. The only drawback I've seen, other than cost, is that it is a bit awkward to put the ExpoDisc on the lense when the standard DVX lense hood is in place.
