Questions & Answers

Shopper : I'm interested in purchasing the L-478dr-UEl light meter. My question is compatibility. I have a Canon 5d MK lll, Speedlite 600EX-RT Flash system. I understand that the L-478dr-UEl light meter has a built in pocket wizard. What else do I need to make this a functional system?William H : Hi, The L-478DR-U-EL is designed to work with Elinchrom Skyport compatible products. You can use a Skyport transmitter and receiver to work with your flash and with the meter. If you are an existing PW user you can use the L-478DR-U meter to trigger their receivers. Please note there is no Sekonic meter designed to trigger Canon units unless they are using Elinchrom, Phottix Strato or Pocket Wizard protocols. I hope this helps. Regards, Will
Henry W : I just bought the 478DR and went to Aperture mode and it goes from 1.4 to 1.0. What happened to F1.2? I specifically wanted to use this with my 50mm 1.2 and 85mm 1.2. Anybody have any ideas?William H : Hi Henry, Turn the meter on. Press the menu button under the main touch screen. Go to Tab 3- Custom Setting Under Custom Setting go to 1. Increments of T+F Set to 1/2 Stop Hit OK HIt Menu 2 times to come back to your main screen. You should see what you are after. (Make sure #2 under custom setting is in the on position). I hope this helps. Regards, Will H Brand Manager Lighting, Mac Group US
Shopper : Will it work with Australian elinchrom strobes?

Rated 5 out of 5

Easy to use and at the right price

I got this light meter because all of my studio lighting is elinchrom, being on sale was a plus. The meter is very easy to use with the touch screen and it matches up well with my lights. You can adjust power from the meter for all lights at once or individually and you can test fire the lights either way also. All and all a great addition.
