Touch Screen Control
Sekonic's new LITEMASTER PRO L-478D meter is the world's first touch-screen-operated light meter. It has an array of unique, must-have features for both still and motion story tellers. Its compact size is both instantly familiar and comfortable to use. The large LCD (2.7") displays ambient, flash, cine and a host of other information in a clear and understandable way. Settings are made by simply touching or sliding a finger over the screen.
Calibrate to your Camera
The L-478D can be quickly calibrated to your camera using Sekonic's Data Transfer software and either Sekonic or X-Rite Brand targets or by manually inputting data to the DTS program or on the meter itself.
Difference Between L-478DR
The difference between the L-478DR and L-478D is that the L-478DR has built in PocketWizard remote control and the L-478D does not. If you're not using PocketWizards then save your money and get the L-478D.
Highly accurate light meter praised for studio photography and flash work. Customers said it's "very easy to use" and provides "perfect flash photography without test shots." While the meter is accurate with many functions, some noted concerns about the glossy finish's durability, scratches, and the included case quality.
- Really helped with my photography and alleviated the guessing work for my studio lighting.
- Readings are accurate and meter can be matched to your specific camera sensor.
- Very accurate, helps to nail your photos in camera the first time.

I can't believe I went this long with out this tool. It's very accurate and gives you a good baseline to play around with your settings. Very easy to use, I didn't even look at the instructions, took it out of the box and brought it to a photoshoot. I had no issues with it! Strobe Pro service was excellent and quick. They're website was easy to use and They got my product here faster then Amazon Prime, seriously! I'm very happy with this store and I will continue shopping there for all my lighting or softbox needs.

Excellent service and great product.

Glossy finish around the screen? Doesnt seem durable. I would of preferred another finish. Scratches and fingerprints are inevitable.The case that comes with it is a joke. The resolution of the touch screen is not great. The one I received already has a dead pixel. The meter is accurate, has many functions and is easy to use. I would recommend it. Unfortunately the front finishing and case leave much to be desired

After doing some research I knew that the Sekonic L-478D LiteMaster Pro was the Light meter I wanted for Studio Model Shoots. Nobody has better pricing on this product or better service than Strobepro.

This is my first light meter. Not sure why I didn't get one earlier. Great service from StrobePro!

Good product, can't wait to customize it with my D810 and D610. Like the bigger brother L-758 only the pocket wizard DR will be available in Canada/US at a higher cost where, if you don't use pocket wizards it would be a wasted feature.

The Sekonic L-478D is costly but readings are accurate and meter can be matched to your specific camera(s) sensor, allowing for perfect flash photography without needing to take test shots.

I thought using this light meter was going to be a big learning curve ,but ,as it turns out, it was quite easy to use.Being a newb at photography,this has made this hobby a lot easier to get my pics properly exposed. I put off buying this meter for awhile ,but now I wish that I had bought it when I first seen it.If you are a newb ,like me ,watch the sekonic utube vids to get yourself going in the right direction. Also,this was my first purchase from Strobepro,very easy transaction,and I will buy more from them.

I have used Sekonic light meters for a very long time.. almost 45 years. They are premium quality and are practically indestructible. When I recently needed to purchase a newer meter, and I saw that Strobepro had the L-478D on sale, I could not resist. Great Gear, Great Sales People
Strobepro takes care of my photo needs!! Thanks Jesse!

Cheapest place to get this meter anywhere in North America right now is StrobePro. And it's worth the price you would pay anywhere else...but you should't, you should get it here.
I have no idea why I've never had a light meter before, but this thing is awesome. Very accurate, and when combined with the x-rite color checker passport helps to nail your photos in camera the first time. Don't rely on your crummy back-display, or your historgram. Trust the proper measuring tools!
Very easy to use, firmware update-able, and much lighter and better built than I expected. You need this now if you work with strobes or flash. period.
