Gone are the days when people used only Elinchrome. Please consider Godox !! Update - Sekonic listened and after 2 years they are here with Godox module . Thankyou Sekonic
There are many professional photographers using Profoto and Broncolor flashes like I am，hope to have the Profoto and Broncolor flash triger for the L-858D in the near future.
Leo Pan yes! I always wanted to buy one for my Profoto b1. I hope Sekonic make one which I can change my power settings on the light meter so It would speed up my work flow. I ended up using the TTL and tweak from the trigger instead. Sekonic if you read my comment please consider. Thank you
Radio triggering is a relatively recent feature, so more brands might be supported in the future. Sekonic started working with PocketWizard protocol because it was a kind of standard-de-facto till a few years ago, then later added Elinchrom & Phottix because all together they constituted a collaboration group called "lighting alliance". So far I have been told, Sekonic asked Profoto to access their radio protocol but the Swedish guys asked to be paid for it... so definitely not a Sekonic fault. ;-)
nice presentation. waiting for godox radio trigger in november :-) can you tell me if we can use HSS from L858D radio transmitter or if we always need to use camera shutter button to make flash ?
Can this measure the accurate HSS light output from a godox flash without transmitter? Or do you need the transmitter to do HSS? I'm thinking it should measure the output
Wondering where the compatebility list is, cannot fins them here nor on the website. Wrt to mun Godox AD600 and Ad400, the HSS measuring complete fails. Any HSS measured setting it returns, results in a full over exposed image. Those results are worth nothing. Are those flashes compatible and if so, what nr of pre-flashes do I need to set?. Will HSS work with my godos flashes if the Godox remore transmitter is available? In the Netherlands this module is still on pre order. No clue when it will come...
Hey Wilbert, Our first recommendation would be to update the firmware on your meter. Secondly with the new transmitter HSS is now wireless and works extremely accurately. No need to fire the flash from the camera any more.
@@SekonicGlobal Ok thanks. Your hint helped me out. You say, I have to trigger with the XPro with the camera in HSS. So I gave it immediately a try and it worked! Before I tested all the time with the trigger in my hand, because I do not have such long arms that I can trigger the camera and measure at the same time. Definitely a reason to buy the remote. Hope it will arrive soon in the Netherlands. Thanks for your hint. / support!
is there any Sekonic's official store for repairing in Viet Nam sir? my L858D-U cannot press power button and measure button, it turns on when installed batteries, and then about few minutes, it turns off, menu button and screen touch still working
When will a radio transmitter module be available for Profoto? This is what is stopping me from purchasing your newest products. I have an older Sekonic light meter, but refuse to purchase this one until you support Profoto. And believe me, there are many other photographers like me who feel the same way.
We would love to support Profoto. We have asked to collaborate, and do not currently have a path to support them. We will soon offer support for both Godox and Broncolor.
Sekonic - I understand, but is there a mechanism for us to gather users to demonstrate to them the number of users/customers who desire this need? An email broadcast to all of your users with a survey to fill out?
Good evening everyone could tell me if this new model would be exactly the same as Sekonic 758 Cine because I'm looking to buy one I'm afraid to buy and then regret not having the same functions
Hello Danise The L-858 is a much different meter. It is 3 stops more sensitive in incident mode, and 2 stops more sensitive in spot mode. You can us custom frame rates, and it has every available shutter angle. It can also display illuminance and exposure information on the screen at the same time.
Hi Lamarrion. We need to keep some info for the actual launch. LOL. We do apologize be we cannot release any embargoed information. If your on our email list you will be among the first to know.
Gone are the days when people used only Elinchrome. Please consider Godox !!
Update - Sekonic listened and after 2 years they are here with Godox module . Thankyou Sekonic
We want Godox. They are a very strong company and is here to stay. There is lots more Godox out there than any other company that I see.
Flashpoint and Gordox are finally available!! Thx Sekonic for listening!
Thank You.
Hello, pros also use Godox, especially for HSS.

@@Mainwong Yes , exactly,If that comes out, my assistants will be happy with that.
Exactly. Is ridiculous how narrow minded or blind sekonic is about this! Godox is selling like crazy

@@MassimoPinciroli profoto and broncolor are...stuck up.
Purchased the l858d, it it compatible with the Wescott FJ 400 and the Wescott 200 flash using HSS? Thank You
Yes, you just need to use it in cordless HSS metering mode, You will not be able to fire the flashes from the meter like you can with Godox.
nice presentation. waiting for godox radio trigger in november :-) can you tell me if we can use HSS from L858D radio transmitter or if we always need to use camera shutter button to make flash ?
You will be able to trigger it directly from the meter.
Are they also considering a Godox trigger for the L858D in the near future?
Me, from the future: Yes. :)
sekonic l-858d simpex and godox ad200 use which flash and lights
Can you meter Godox HSS (ad400 pro) with this light meter? I need to know this before buying.
no! i hate that. i had to buy pocket wizard plus 3
Nope. I had to put a pocket wizard on it to cue the flash.
F is for friends who do stuff together 0:36
Can this measure the accurate HSS light output from a godox flash without transmitter?
Or do you need the transmitter to do HSS? I'm thinking it should measure the output
Currently you can measure HSS in coordless mode. We are working on a Godox trasmitter with the hope that you can trigger it from the meter.
@@SekonicGlobal that will be awesome,we are seriously waiting for the godox transmitters to come out

We are glad we could help Wilbert.
Ist the L858D compatible with Godox e.g. the AD600Pro?
How about using the filter compensation feature?
So I won't be able to use wireless trigger because I own godox.... ???¿¿¿
is there any Sekonic's official store for repairing in Viet Nam sir?
my L858D-U cannot press power button and measure button, it turns on when installed batteries, and then about few minutes, it turns off, menu button and screen touch still working

Sekonic - Thank you for your response. Is there a way to gather Sekonic and Profoto customers to petition @profoto to collaborate with you?
We do not want to pressure them. They are old friends and we respect their wishes. Myself being a Profoto user, I must say it would be nice.

Please make a update for 64bit as I can’t calibrate my meter for the fact I don’t have computer that runs 32bit. Please update software!
Godox ad200 pro supported
yes
Like .
Let us know when you add Godox support, otherwise it’s a no from me
We are working on it. If your on our email list you will be among the first to know.
I’m with everyone. Please update to Godox
We have a Godox solution for the L-858D in the works.
Sekonic thanks for the reply. But I’m not $600 if it’s not compatible with godox.
It will be a wireless module to fit in the L-858D-U if you currently own one.
Sekonic ok thanks. How much will it cost.

No Godox Support= Complete fail!
