How I Frankensteined my light meter to my strobe trigger

I came across an older issue of PDN magazine and it covered Sekonic’s newer L-858D-U — their flagship multifunction light meter with truly all the bells and whistles. While I’ve never owned a Sekonic light meter, I have had my Minolta Auto Meter IVF for over a decade (this amazing piece debuted in 1992) and still use it today. While I recently converted to Godox’s AD200 flashes as my main strobes, (formerly used a couple of Minolta 5600 flashes then upgraded to Paul C. Buff’s Alien Bees and eventually their Einstein line), I was always jealous of Sekonic’s integration of PocketWizards which allowed one to trigger the lights to meter seamlessly. To this day, I’d have the transmitter that goes onto my camera in one hand to fire the lights after pressing the meter button on the light meter in my other hand. I Googled learned that Sekonic is looking to integrating Godox soon but after realizing I had a spare transmitter, I figured I’d just literally put my transmitter onto my light meter. <a href="https://medium.com/behindthescenes/how-i-frankensteined-my-light-meter-to-my-strobe-trigger-3a1d670fc86f">Learn More</a>
