p.1 #3 · AstrHori released a new black brass light meter
This also has the same two design issues that are making me look for something to replace my Hedeco Lime II (I actually think I'll just use a regular ol' Sekonic handheld meter):
1. Display on the top (impossible to read in bright sunlight; you have to shade it with your hand)
2. Adjustment wheel will move as it brushes up against your clothing (if worn with a neck strap) or even in the camera bag, changing your settings. Although this meter is so small that maybe the wheel won't extend far enough for that to be a problem.
These meters power down after a set time (with the Hedeco it's 45 seconds), but that's usually long enough for any inadvertent movements of the wheel to spin your settings to a wildly different point from when you last used it.
I'll either hold out for the redesigned Reveni meter that can be recharged by USB or forget about using a cold-shoe mounted meter and use my phone or a handheld Sekonic.

Looks awesome but will it be accurate? It seems that many of these new hot shoe meters cannot reliably do the one thing that matters.
