The new LIT DUO 1 from Sweden is the most fun you can have with a light meter. It’s intuitive, accurate and has all the functions you could wish for.

About 5 inches long and 2 inches wide, the LIT DUO 1 has a milled aluminum body that reminds you of an iPhone or Sigma BF. You control it with tactile buttons. If you work in cold climates or places where breakfast bagels and greasy donuts make touchscreens difficult to use, this meter is for you.

Actually, it’s like 7 meters in one. Marko Pirc, LIT Systems Owner & CEO says, “In terms of core metering — illuminance, ambient exposure for  cine, exposure for photo/video, flash exposure, flash duration, color temperature and spectrum — the product is fully on par or better than the latest meters out there. When it comes to flicker metering, we are up there with industrial-grade meters. But we do have one feature that no other device has: built-in calculation for safe shutter angles and speeds.”
