Liking it so far, but realized that with my Yongnuo RF-603's I had to take a picture to be able to take a meter reading, well, I took my Cowboy Studio NTP-4's put one on the camera and one on the fash and found I could use another one to trigger the flash only, then with my remote shutter release I could take the picture with flash, Only problem I see is going to be battery replacement in the Cowboy Studio NTP-4's.

I did the similar thing with my STE3 and L358. I take the STE3 off camera are fire the flash/s using the test button and make adjustments at the spot I'm at.

Maybe when the 23A in the Tx unit dies, look into the RF-603 II (external link). :)

Thanks, I checked them out and looks interesting, but I will be stuck with the Yongnuo RF-603c's and the Oppilas/E3 wireless shutter remote control.
But, when the Cowboy Studios goes out then there would be wear and tear on the camera taking pictures just to take a flash meter reading. mmm, decisions, decisions, decisions, lol.

Thanks digital paradise
I used the test button on the flash unit and was real happy until I moved the umbrella further away I realized I had a problem, lol

Amazing how much difference exposure can be when distance to subject changes.

Haven't played around with my Sekonic 308s much but noticing when I import images to Lightroom 4 they are not under exposed like most all my pictures were before getting a flash meter and it doesn't take as much (lR4) slidder movements as it did before to get the pictures like I want them. Glad I bought the meter.
