Hensel Strobe Master Overview

The Strobe Master Light Meter from Hensel is an incident and flash meter featuring radio communication via an integrated Strobe Wizard receiver. Incident metering provides far more accurate readings than TTL systems of most cameras. Additionally, the Strobe Master offers support for frame rates between 8 to 64 FPS.

Incidental metering options include the standard incident measuring as well as contrast measurement. Contrast measurement tells you the dynamic range of the scene, ensuring that you will not lose information in the brightest or darkest areas of the image. And, if the sphere is removed, reflected light measurements at 25° are possible.

Additionally, this meter offers flash metering. This allows you to determine the light coming from strobe systems and can also record ambient light falling on the subject. This meter can also measure for multiple flashes, producing more accurate readings.

Radio communication is possible with an integrated Strobe Wizard transmitter. It has access to channels 1-3 and can trigger all at once or each individually. Also, there are four programmable groups and it will work with the Freemask system. This communication allows for flash synchronization, control of flash strength, and the ability to turn on and off the modeling light.

For convenience, the Strobe Master includes a pouch and carrying strap.

question

Does the shutter speed reading change in one-third increments? for instance, can a flash reading be achieved at 1/320 second or does the shutter speed selection only read in full stops like 1/125, 1/250, 1/500?
Asked by: melahat
This light meter goes in 1/10th increments.
