Question Flash Meter

Can anyone recommend a flash meter?

I want to use one with a Bowens studio set up, looking for something that works well and won't break the bank, have watched a youtube video that recommended a sekonic L-358. Anyone know if this is one worth considering?

Also can anyone recommend any particular wireless radio triggers? I have heard that some can be had for around £25 via Ebay and are meant to work well, anyone got an experience with ebay ones?

Thanks for any help

Stu

The Sekonic is a good model and although fairly entry level, its all you need and does a good job. As for flash triggers there is a Prolinca one that sells normally for about £40, though you may get one cheaper from the likes of Ebay

Re: Flash Meter

i have the sekonic 358 and for me it does the job. i like to keep things simple since working in real time isn't. i'm not familiar with the one that Stephen mentioned.
