NEWS: 

Maxtoch Owleyes W PRO v2 is available.

Great news! Maxtoch updated the Owleyes W PRO, to a v2 version. Instead of 2 batteries in series (making it a long battery tube), they decided to go 3 batteries next to eachother.

Opple Light Master 4

In the past few years, there is no tool that has been more useful for flashaholics like us than the Opple Light Master 3 (pro). It’s a very affordable device that can measure CCT (the temperatre of the beam) including CRI Ra (this is the average of the lowest CRI readings) as well as flicker etc.

Now, they introduced the Light Master 4, an upgraded version with USB-C, and more CRI levels. For the price of $40-$50 it may not be a direct replacement of a Spectrometer, but even if it was less accurate, it would still be of great value for us. I ordered one, and now the waiting has begun.
