The Sekonic Litemaster Pro L-478DR-U is a high-quality digital touchscreen-operated light meter. Key features include:

  • Incident metering for ambient and flash

  • Infinite frame-rate and shutter-angle selections

  • Flash power control and radio triggering

  • 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD

Great for Still Photographers. The Sekonic Litemaster Pro L-478DR-U Light Meter’s full-featured ambient flash modes include the new TF Priority Mode, which lets you measure, compare, and mix ambient light and flash for beautiful, controlled results.

Great for Filmmakers. Video cine cameras are becoming boundless, so metering should be too. The L-478DR-U offers Cine/HD Cine modes for today’s HDSLR and Video Cine cameras, and lets you effortlessly switch between exact exposure settings in exact increments for both. You get infinite frame-rate and shutter-angle selections, and the ability to create special settings for special applications. The unique light-source filtration-compensation mode gives you precise lighting control using industry-standard CTO/CTB/ND types.

Large Touchscreen in a Compact Form. The L-478DR-U’s compact size is both instantly familiar and comfortable to use. Its large, 2.7-inch LCD displays ambient light, flash, cine, and a host of other information in a clear and understandable way, and its touchscreen controls make it easy to adjust settings.

Easy Calibration. You can use Sekonic’s Data Transfer software and either Sekonic or X-Rite Brand targets to quickly and easily calibrate the L-478DR-U can be quickly calibrated to your camera. You can also manually input data to the DTS program or on the meter itself.

Wireless Control. The L-478DR-U comes complete with exclusive PocketWizard ControlTL technology which lets you wirelessly control Nikon, Canon, and other select studio flashes with a touch of a finger.

Power. The L-478DR-U uses two AAA batteries (not included).
