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.

Riley M. ★★★★★

The compact size fits perfectly in my shirt pocket, so I can grab it quickly without digging through my bag. Switching between ambient and flash metering is intuitive, and the readings match my strobes perfectly.

Violet G. ★★★★★

Went from using a phone app to this, and the difference is night and day. The ambient and flash metering feels rock solid, and being able to measure incident light for video has saved me so much time.

Leo H. ★★★★★

Finally, a meter that actually fits in my jeans pocket without jabbing me, and the video mode is a lifesaver for quick ambient checks. The dial feels solid and clicks into place perfectly every time.
