Gossen Starlite 2 - Light meter

Gossen Starlite 2 - the Rolls Royce of light meters

The Gossen Starlite 2 works for all scenarios, from stills to cine purposes. The flagship of Gossen, it has everything you need and comes in a weatherproof case. The meter can measure light from ambient light, flash, and point. In addition, values can be output in various units such as lux and candela.

Thanks to its weatherproof housing, the device can be used in humid and challenging environments without any worries.

If you work on film productions, the meter is equally valuable. You don't need formulas when the meter can tell you the right things according to the 180º rule (you get the additional sector sizes in 5º increments).

On the style side, the meter has everything a professional needs. With a view to potrettes, the meter can measure the light that hits the object, regardless of the reflectivity of the object. For the true purist, the Starlite 2 is made with the zone system in mind, and can provide all the grey values in the picture.

In flash mode, the device calculates the amount of flash and tells you the correct exposure.

The light can be measured with the meter's viewfinder at an angle of 1-5 degrees. Luminous light is measured through a diffuser.
