Polaris is a professional exposure meter with world-class features and performance, at a fraction of the cost of comparable models. Polaris has the function and microprocessor-driven accuracy you expect, plus some additional conveniences might not; like an oversized LCD display, multi-flash capability and user-preset program levels. More features and a lower price makes Polaris an unbeatable value. The oversized LCD display shows all the data and functions clearly and easily, even at full arm's length. A Large analogue scale makes fractional measurements easy, and Custom Program Level Function lets you personalise your meter to match your style of shooting. Adjust the meter level or return to standard levels with the touch of a button. Eight additional shutter speeds available to match the sync speed of virtually any camera. The multi-flash feature makes it simple to calculate how many times the flash must be fired to achieve a desired f-stop.  More

          Comments about Aspen Polaris Digital Meter:

          I use this meter with my bowens flash heads, and I have to say for the price it is superb.
          Very accurate, very easy to use.
          It does feel a little plasticy, like it would break if dropped onto a hard floor, but it does come with a neck strap, so if you drop it you only have yourself to blame.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
