Sekonic LiteMaster Pro L-478DR-U Light Meter for PocketWizard System
The Sekonic LiteMaster Pro L-478 Series represents a revolutionary leap in light metering technology. As the world's first touch-screen-operated light meters, they combine a familiar, comfortable form factor with an intuitive 2.7-inch color LCD interface. Designed for both still photographers and cinematographers, the L-478 delivers unparalleled control over ambient, flash, and cine settings with simple touch and slide gestures.
A key feature is the ability to calibrate the meter precisely to your camera's sensor for ultimate accuracy, either manually or using Sekonic's Data Transfer software with calibration targets.
Important Note: The L-478DR model includes a built-in PocketWizard radio transmitter (frequency fixed at purchase). Availability is subject to regional regulations. Please verify your country's compatible radio frequency (344MHz or 433MHz) and fixed language (Japanese, English, or Chinese) before purchasing.
