Sekonic L308s

Hi, have got myself a L308s second hand off ebay there seems to be a problem with it when in trigered flash mode or self resetting mode to take a flash reading the flash is not responding am i missing somthing here ?

Regards Dave

Is the 308s compatible with the lights your trying to trigger ? I always trigger mine manually.

The L-308s cannot fire a strobe light. unless you connect a sync cable between the two.

Hi with my KR it doesent have a symc opening is their some other way round it, if strobe triggerd manually will it give me reading

Thanks for the help

The sync cable is used between the meter and the strobe light. If the strobe is triggered manually you will get a reading. I have the L-308/s its a good meter. I find the easiest way to use it. Is to use a wireless trigger. With the receiver connected to the strobes. Just keep the trigger in hand as you meter. Or better still get a second trigger. you con get a complete set of triggers and receivers for under a tenner on ebay..

Cheers mate will check it out today, I would have thought that I could have got a flash reading with it as I tried it with my flash gun sat on camera

If your using on camera flash. Then its either a two person job. Or you can prop the meter up against your subject. The second on isn't especially great but you will get a reading. Interested how you get on.

When you see this flashmate on youtube it seems to work as good as the other sekonics on the market, when geting a flash reading off strobe or flash gun does the mode still have to be in triggerd flash mode or unless using sync cable

Regards Dave

Hi,thanks for your help tryed flashmate with sync cable to strobe and got a reading also with trigger and the reading was the same then tryed it with the flash and got a reading, i am one happy bunny lol. I was thinking i got sold a dud flashmate
