Product Information

The Polaris Dual 5 Flash Meter is an enhanced version of the Polaris 2 Flash Meter. The Polaris Dual 5 features both 5 degree spot metering capability and rotating receptor head - as well as an on command backlight LCD display. It is an essential feature when taking readings in a dimly lit situation or when using flash in a studio.

By depressing the backlight button located conveniently adjacent to the trigger button, the electro-luminescence light is activated and will stay on as long as the button is depressed. This gives you complete control of the backlight feature regardless of the mode being used, whether it is flash, ambient or combined. The new Polaris Dual 5 combines all the other features and specifications of the original Polaris and Polaris 2 Meters.
