DIGISKY
The stylish, intuitive, high performance
DIGISKY is the contemporary rendition of the exposure meter. Technology and features are at their usual high levels and new standards are being set with regard to design and ease of operation. The compact DIGISKY is laid out for use in the studio as well as outdoors, and is equipped with an adjustable diffuser for flat and spherical measurements. It’s capable of incident and reflected light measurements for flash and ambient light, which are displayed in full, 1/2 or 1/3 increments depending on the selected setting.
In the case of flash measurement, this can be triggered manually, via synchronizing cable or wireless with the Broncolor RFS2.1, Elinchrom Skyport / Skyspeed, Phottix Strato II (Strato, Atlas II) and Calumet Pro series compatible radio module. If the Broncolor or Elinchrom flash heads support the function, the power can be adjusted via the exposure meter and the modeling light can be switched.
The DIGISKY masters all common lighting situations for analog and digital photography, as well as for filmmaking, with outstanding precision and time-tested quality.
