I have one 1000 watt studio strobe and one 600 watt studio strobe. I bet you could find a Light/flash meter for around 200 pounds. Try looking for a Sekonic digilite F flash meter. it does both insodent & flash.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-1006987822471981202013-09-11T23:37:59.009+01:002013-09-11T23:37:59.009+01:00Okay , this makes sense.

I set them all to TTL then set the camera to -1EV. Shooting in RAW I have a couple of stops to play with. With pocket Wizards little camera mounted thingy I can dial down or up ant of the three strobes. Even if I invested in a meter I bet I would still have twelve frames in the bin. Using TTL I had three yesterday. One of those was because I captured a strobe in a mirror.
