You can get the same exact item cheaper here. original sekonic RT-32 module, just named different. Sekonic 401-621 Transmitter Module for L-758 Cine and L-358 $25+$5(shipping) total from ADRAY. i looked around more, i found it too much to pay 50 bucks for this. great item by the way. must have if you have the 358.
This radio module works just fine. It's not too expensive and I recommend just getting it if you're running PocketWizards. It's immediate; there's never a delay from the moment I press the trigger until the flashes fire. Of course, I don't have a big home studio, so I haven't tried it from very far away. However, if you're tight on money, you can do without it. It's just cooler with one.
Simply push the fire button on your light meter with a Pocket Wizard attached to your strobe and poof. If you have a Sekonic L458 or L608 and you use Pocket Wizards, you absolutely must have this radio triggering module. It is so easy to install in your light meter and then once it is there, it works flawlessly. This is probably the best $50 I have ever spent. Why can't everything in life be this easy.
I have a sekonic L-358 CE version and bought a sekonic RT32 transmitter that happens to be an FCC version that caught me by surprise because I couldn't get my transmitter to work.I only realized that when my light meter vendor told me that FCC and CE versions don't match. Had this been clear on this site I would have not made the mistake.and this is a warning to those who are planning to buy.make sure both meter and transmitter are of the same frequency.either both are CE or FCC.UPDATED REVIEW:Luckily my local vendor replaced my sekonic meter from a CE version to the FCC version and my wireless transmitter now works with my Pocket wizard.my only problem with marketing is that they should put a warning stating that they both the meter and transmeter must be the FCC version to make it work.unfortunately I could not find that information anywhere. I learned it after the fact.and then even when talking to the vendor (adorama) of this transmitter they seem to be at a loss.
I have the Sekonic L358, but I bought it without this module thinking I didn't really need it. This little module actually frees up your hands and you can keep your heavy camera from swinging around your neck while you make adjustments. I managed for a short while.You have keep a PW transmitter in your hand (or camera around your neck) to fire the strobes and the meter in your other hand where you want take a reading. I becomes quite awkward when you need make any adjustments to your strobes since you have let these things hang around your neck or put something in your pocket. If you plan on using a light meter a lot and choose the L358, do yourself a favor and get this module with it. This module will make your life a lot easier and save you some time in the end.
