The Sekonic Litemaster Pro L-478DR light meter is the first meter available that features a color touch screen interface for taking light readings, navigating menus and controlling personal profiling options. This meter allows you to record light readings for still, flash and cine applications, and even lets you control which metering methods readily appear to best suit your own image-gathering workflow.
Additionally, you can fine-tune your measurements by implementing preset and programmable camera settings, exposure-compensation settings, filtration settings and comparative measurements to help you achieve the most accurate, balanced exposure readings possible. The L-478DR also integrates PocketWizard ControlTL radio technology, giving you the ability to trigger and adjust the power settings of up to three flash zones wirelessly, directly from your meter.

the radio technology only supports to pocket wizards receivers?... what are the compatible brands that can be triggered by this lightmeter wirelessly? thanx
Pocket Wizards are the only trigger system compatible with the Sekonic meters. The two companies are sister companies and work together to allow their systems to work together. As such other wireless trigger systems are not compatible with the Sekonic meters.
