I too use the ColorChecker Passport with my Pentax K-5, it works well for both video and still photography to set white balance while using the camera. Why do you have to make the gray card fill the entire picture? If so, does it have to be in focus? Just put it really close to the lens and make it out of focus, just make sure it's in the correct light, then set the white balance.

I believe that having the gray card out of focus would be preferred to in focus due to the elimination of hot spots etc creating a more uniform image.
