4x AA Battery
The pocket-sized legend of light metering.
The Sekonic L-308S (Flashmate) is the most compact and popular digital light meter in the world. It is the go-to tool for students, wedding photographers, and cinematographers who need a “no-nonsense,” highly accurate device that fits in a shirt pocket. While it lacks the “Flash Analyzing” of its bigger brother (the L-358), it provides everything you need for perfect exposure in a sleek, lightweight package.
Ultra-Compact Design: At only 95g, it’s designed to be used with one hand. It’s small enough to stay around your neck all day without fatigue.
Three Meters in One: 1. Incident: Measures light falling on the subject (using the Lumisphere). 2. Reflected: Measures light bouncing off the subject (by sliding the Lumisphere to the side). 3. Flash: Measures electronic flash with or without a sync cord.
Cine Mode: Includes specific settings for cinematographers, allowing you to set your shutter angle and frame rate (FPS) to get an instant aperture reading for video.
Simplified Display: The LCD is clear and easy to read, showing only the essential data: Shutter speed, Aperture, and ISO, along with a 1/10th stop increment indicator.
