SekonicNew L-478DR-U-PX Phottix Strato II System Lightmeter with Exclusive USA Radio Frequency and Exclusive 3-Year Warranty

I purchased this thinking that it would work with my Phottix Odin system as well, but not exactly as I planned. This meter with the -PX only triggers the Strato's triggers. It doesn't operate the odin or odin II triggers which I have and use all the time. You can still operate the meter with the odin system, but you have to have trigger them with transmitter to get the flashes to pop!Every easy to use and adjust. I love this meter...

My picture our more clear and crisp I look forward to using the software that allows the meter to read light as you camera sees it. It is a grea product and easy to use.

Warning to Phottix Users!If you're planning a purchase of this meter, be aware it only has Phottix Strato II radio support. What does this mean to you? It will not fire ANY Phottix strobes or flashes configured with Odin support. Without Odin support, you lose all remote control of power, zoom, etc.of your flashes. This is a major disadvantage and I will most likely return the meter for this reason. I was able to develop a solution that kept my flashes in ODIN II mode, but required me to hand-hold both the Odin II transmitter (off camera it can work as a remote) and this meter at the same time. I basically put the meter into flash mode (it waits up to 90 seconds for the flash), then fire the test button on the Odin II in my other hand. Not ideal, but a work-around. This meter desperately needs ODIN support.Other Stuff You Need to KnowThis is a decent meter and easy to use (read the manual). The build quality is average (there's a lot of plastic here). If you're going to calibrate the meter with your specific camera, you need to buy additional accessories (software is included with the meter, but no "targets"). A case is provided, it's minimal at best.

I was let to believe that this would work with my Phottix Odin system and my Indra lights. I asked a question on one of the shops regarding the Odin compatibility and someone told me it would work. However, it is not designed to work with Odin, but Stratos instead. The only way for it to remotely trigger my Indra lights is to change my receiving from Odin-C (Canon) to Stratos-II.Additionally, the meter doesn't give me the option for ambient light readings anymore, but offers lux readings instead, which I don't want.I am disappointed so far. If Phottix can release an update/firmware that will solve the Indra situation or Odin thing, I would be pleased.I feel mislead about it.

It's very advanced... yet simple to use on the fly for basic metering.
