p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · How accurate is the Cyber Commander light meter? | |
I would take a reading at one spot and it may say f8 and my studio meter agreed at f8. Then I move to another spot and take reading and get f5.6 while my studio meter would say f7.1.
As for fiddly, the controls are comprehensive and all crammed onto a tiny screen. Selecting a light and adjusting always seemed slower than walking over and adjusting it manually. Stored setups are fine but if you have even moderate amount of experience you can quickly adjust your lights to the new setup. One thing that annoyed me was that you have to label each light in the setup with its model and power. If you did not hook them up exactly the same each time the adjustments would be wrong. It would be nice if it could auto-sense what it was connected to but it can't and thus you need be very sure that you set them up identically every time. Big pain if you have a collection of ABs, WLs and Einsteins like I do.
