This meter will pay for itself over time!

I am so happy I can control each of my flashpoint and godox strobe lights power individually and can trigger them via the flash meter. Saves a lot of time when you need to change the power of just one light or a group of lights. Can measure the real output of high speed sync rather than having to guess. Touchscreen is easy to use and read.

Do your due diligence researching this product before purchasing!

Perhaps you're looking at the L-858D-U because you read about the custom camera profiling feature and thought that was exactly what you were looking for. That's what sold me on this unit, however, little did I know that it requires the use of a piece of software that can be downloaded from the Sekonic website and that program is no longer being supported apparently. The long and the short of it is that you can download the program and even go through the process of creating a custom profile for your camera, but you won't be able to upload that profile to the meter because the meter won't connect the computer through USB as it is supposed to and all of your time was spent for nothing. The driver that the DTS software installs is for the L-758 meter, which may or may not be part of the issue, and there is no available help or information to solve this issue. Research it for yourself and see. I would've bought a less expensive unit if I had known that the main feature of this unit, for which I purchased it, is useless to me.

Menus are poorly designed and buggy. Some common settings are buried. Touchscreen requires a fingernail.

Touchscreen, is stiff, requires a finger nail. The menus could be a lot better organized. For example if ya just wanna back out one menu level, it closes the whole menu system instead of just backing up. So ya have to start all over and find where you were again. Annoying and unprofessional. Some aperture settings are not settable, based on what t+f steps you have set. So if ya want a 1.2 aperture, ya have to set the t+f step size to 0.5. Otherwise it'll jump from 1.1 to 1.3, then same thing again if ya want a 1.8 aperture, ya have to set the t+f step size back again to 0.3. Ridiculous and cumbersome! Otherwise it works well, good battery life. My Godox radio is fantastic!

Light meter integration with Godox/Flashpoint strobes.

Excellent integration of light meter with Godox lighting. You can control al the lights, ratios, modeling lamp and adjust the ratios as desired. The Godox/Flashpoint remote is just for triggering the lights along with shutter of the camera. Photo shoot workflow has become a breeze.

The best of the best light meter, oh did I mention it's the BEST?(In regards of completely changing your lighting photo world)

Of course when someone told me about light meters and to go buy one, really, do you need to look further? I mean, I purchased this light meter to begin, learn, and grow old with. It IS THE BEST and if you are hinting towards a studio with lighting career, then this is definitely the go to light meter with the functions that set your parameters you want. This will deliver great results whatever you can imagine to throw at it.

Saves a lot of time when you need to change the power of just one light or a group of lights. Can measure the real output of high speed sync rather than having to guess. Touchscreen is easy to use and read.

A pinnacle of precision and versatility, the Sekonic L-858D-U Speedmaster Light Meter Kit, complete with the RT-EL/PX Transmitter Module, is an indispensable tool for photographers seeking to master their lighting environment. This durable and high-quality kit is engineered to seamlessly integrate with Elinchrom Skyport and Phottix Strato II systems, offering a user-friendly solution for meticulously measuring, controlling, and analyzing flash lighting with unprecedented ease.

The compact and multifunctional Sekonic L-858D-U stands out as the world's first light meter to offer multi-brand wireless triggering capabilities. It is uniquely designed to measure intricate flash durations and rapid flash bursts associated with High Speed Sync (HSS), ensuring precision flash control for every shot. With this advanced light meter, photographers can effortlessly fine-tune their lighting setup to achieve the perfect exposure for their final image.

Featuring dual radio compatibility, the L-858D-U equipped with the RT-EL/PX transmitter module empowers photographers with extensive control over their lighting systems. In Elinchrom mode, users can access all 20 Elinchrom Channels (20 Speed & 20 Normal) and 4 Groups. Switching to Phottix mode, the device enables triggering across channels (1-4) and groups (A, B, C, D), allowing any flash or studio strobe connected to a Phottix Strato, Strato II, Ares II, or Atlas II receiver, as well as Phottix Mitros+ flashes or Indra 500/360TTL strobes set to Strato II receive function, to be fired with ease.

Moreover, the Sekonic L-858D-U facilitates next-level flash analysis for Elinchrom and Phottix users. By accurately measuring the percentage of flash in a composition, photographers can maintain the ideal balance between ambient light and flash, creating the desired atmosphere in their images. The ability to measure flash duration is also crucial for capturing dynamic subjects, such as the splash in a product shot or the graceful pose of a ballet dancer, with the stopping power needed to freeze motion.

In summary, the Sekonic L-858D-U Speedmaster Light Meter Kit with RT-EL/PX Transmitter Module is the ultimate tool for photographers who demand control and precision in their lighting. Its compatibility with Sekonic L-858D and Elinchrom & Phottix, along with its multifunction meter type, makes it a superior choice for professionals looking to elevate their photographic work to new heights.
