Review: Perfect Light Meter for Photography & Video Work - I’ve been using the Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter for a few weeks now, and it has been one of the best additions to my photography gear. It’s compact, lightweight, and extremely accurate. The readings are consistent every time, especially when working with flash and studio lighting setups. What I love most is how simple it is to use. Even if you’re not experienced with handheld light meters, the controls are straightforward and easy to learn. The backlit display is also very helpful during low-light shoots. I shoot both photography and video, so having photo, cine, and HD cine modes all in one device is a huge plus. It saves time, improves exposure accuracy, and cuts down editing work afterward. Overall, this is an excellent investment for photographers and filmmakers who want professional and reliable results. Highly recommended! Review: Must have - Being a headshot photographer this is a must have piece of kit. Easy to set up and use. Great accurate lighting results when using it. A massive time saver. Feels a little lightweight but the fact that is works consistently well makes it great value for money. Highly recommend. ## Features - Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic flash light readings in full-stop mode. - At ISO 100 the ambient EV range is 0 to 19.9 flash f/stops range from f/1.0 to f/90.9 with a shutter-speed span of 60-seconds to 1/8000th-of-a-second (1 sec to 1/500th for flash). - Photo Mode: for still image photographers featuring shutter or aperture priority display of a full range of ambient and flash functions including cord and cordless flash measurement - HD Cine Mode: perfect for DSLR and mirrorless videographers who need to take exposure readings and control light using shutter speeds and frame rates - Cine Mode: designed for use with cinema grade cameras, allows users to select from the most useful frame rates and shutter angles for exposure control with one-tenth stop accuracy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079YWCZNC | | ASIN | B079YWCZNC | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #10 in Photographic Light Meters | | Brand Name | Sekonic | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,107) | | Date First Available | February 21, 2018 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04962294012014 | | Included Components | Light meter | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 4.3 x 2.5 x 0.9 inches | | Item Dimensions W x H | 2.5"W x 0.9"H | | Item Type Name | Sekonic corporation l-308x-u flashmate light meter, 1", black. | | Item Weight | 0.22 Pounds | | Item Width | 6.3 Centimeters | | Item model number | 401-305 | | Manufacturer | MacGroup | | Manufacturer | MacGroup | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 3 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 401-305 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year warranty with registration | | Manufacturer recommended age | 3 months and up | | Material Type | Aluminum, Metal | | Model Number | 401-305 | | Product Dimensions | 4.3 x 2.5 x 0.9 inches; 3.52 ounces | | Set Name | L-308 | | Size | 2.5 x 4.3 x 0.9 inches | | Theme | photography and videography | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter, Compact Digital Incident & Reflected Exposure Meter with Photo, Cine & HD Cine Modes, LCD Auto Backlight, Illuminance Measurement, Pocket-Sized Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RicNuXTPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this as flimsy and inaccurate as some reviews say?** A: No, the L-308 is a very accurate natural light and flash meter, easy to use once you understand the basic functions. This is the main meter, that my college supplies our photo students. Now, the bad, it is not an Abrams's tank. Keep it away from kids, pets, and in-laws, and don't tie to the bumper of your Ford F-150 you are good. Any meter, is subject to damage from misuse, just hang it around your neck, you are good. **Q: Does the L-308X-U have the ability to display the flash to ambient ration?** A: No it does not. I believe the L-358, 558 and 608 will. **Q: Will this work with Godox triggers for Sony, both ambient and flash?** A: It an easy to use light meter that handles any type/source of light. It won't trigger strobes. Rather, it reads the level of light available when you trigger the strobe(s). When I use it with strobes, I set the ISO & shutter speed to what I'm looking for, trigger the strobes w/ my wireless flash trigger and see what the aperture should be. Then I adjust the power levels on the strobes ant test again. **Q: What is the temperature operating range** A: 0 to 40 degrees C. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Light Meter for Photography & Video Work *by R***O on May 8, 2026* I’ve been using the Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter for a few weeks now, and it has been one of the best additions to my photography gear.
