Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster Unboxing & Overview + Close Ups!

2011-01-20
today we've got one for my photo gearheads in the audience we've got ourselves a sekonic light meter and what sets this one apart is it offers some features specific to digital SLR bodies one of those includes a wireless triggering system using a sekonic RT 32 radio transmitter module which allows you to wirelessly trigger PocketWizard enable flash systems within a hundred foot range as we get inside here we can see we've got a three year limited warranty card this actually looks like a way of getting an extension to bump up your warranty to three years wishful thinking and here's a battery to power the unit and a wrist strap so you don't drop it in the heat of a intense photoshoot if you know what I'm saying here is an extremely well packaged USB cable we got foam covering each tip but it's a regular mini USB to USB here is our user manual and our data transfer software this unit is compatible with both Windows and Mac and if you're wondering hey why would I want to hook this up to my computer it's because you can set up specific profiles based on the digital SLR you're using that's the second reason why this is an incredibly different light meter from what we're used to you can run a calibration test using the the meter itself and your digital camera and then transfer those settings via your computer back to the meter as you can see it comes packaged in a carrying case looks like a nylon carrying case and again that's something that's nice to have it's got a clasp on the back so it could be hooked up to you know a camera bag or maybe even a belt or vest or something here we see the unit itself and I can tell you right away it feels substantial in the hands even without having a battery installed he's got a rubberized finish around the edges a large screen to look at and overall feels really good in the hands let's get closer so we can get a sense for the details on the unit after all we want to pretend that you just bought one just like I did as you can see we've got our tactile buttons at different ISO settings those is a sort of quick switch between here is our USB female connector and that's our mini USB and it's nice that it's covered because you know you throw this stuff around and you don't want anything getting in there here you can see the model number of the unit you know overall I'd have to say I'm impressed can't wait to get out and use it or one more thing we can hook this this up to a tripod or possibly a light stand via the connector at the bottom anyway check out the channel more stuff getting unboxed every day
