Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Meter and sensor are separate which makes reading much easier. It lets you get your lighting right if your camera's light meter is not working. It gives instant readouts and will hold a value if i if i need it to.

This meter is perfect for my needs. The meter seems to work fine. It works well for that purpose.



Cons

Based on review there is a better than 1% chance of getting a faulty unit. Poor instruction manual and no technical support numbers to call. Should have done that before ordering.

The meter is junk. Useless item. Oh well if it doesn't work i'm only out a couple of bucks!
