A legacy of accuracy pocket-sized and exceptionally accurate, the Flashmate L-308X-U light meter from Sekonic is a compact tool for metering both ambient and flash lighting as well as working in video with dedicated Cine and HD Cine modes. Equipped with a sliding lumisphere, the L-308X-U is able to measure ambient light as well as reflected light via a lens with a 40° reception angle. This meter also has a wide metering range; from 0 to 19.9 EV at ISO 100, and can work with flash within a range of f/1.0 to f/90.9 at ISO 100. Repeat accuracy is also important when metering, which the L-308X-U delivers with a rating of <0.1 EV on repeat exposures. Maximum versatility last year, Sekonic introduced their groundbreaking flag ship light meter, the Speedmaster L-858D-U. By merging functionality for both photography and cinematography into one light meter, Sekonic created a powerful and invaluable tool for image makers of every kind. Now Sekonic is bringing that philosophy to the immensely popular L-308 series with the new Flashmate L-308X-U.

Scarlett P. ★★★★★

Finally a meter that handles both flash and ambient without needing to switch modes every other shot. The dome is easy to slide in and out for reflected readings, and the readings are spot-on with my strobes.

Zoe A. ★★★★★

Pocket-sized but still feels solid in hand, the ambient and flash readings match my DSLR’s spot meter within a third of a stop every time. The video mode is a nice bonus, letting me set shutter speed quickly for interviews.

Julian ★★★★★

Finally a light meter that fits in my jeans pocket without bulging, yet still gives me the same reliable flash readings as the bigger units I’ve used before. The ambient/video mode switch is a nice touch too—makes switching between stills and video setups seamless.
