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

The Polaris Meter from Aspen of Japan is an uncomplicated flash and ambient meter with an easy to read oversized display showing exposure values with 1/10 stop accuracy. A sliding dome diffuser switches operation from incident to reflected measurement and calculations can be displayed showing shutter speeds, aperture values or EV as well as having a multiple flash calculation facility. The Polaris meter also has a custom calibration so that you can easily set the unit to your own preference depending on your camera or shooting style. Clip on accessories are also available separately to add the following features:

SpotView 10
The spotview 10 adds a viewfinder and 10 degree spot metering facility to your Polaris meter, making it one of the most competitively priced spot meters on the market.

Flat Diffuser
This flat diffuser clips onto the Polaris meter giving the facility to measure incident readings from directional lights to work out lighting ratios more accurately than with a dome diffuser or for flat artwork etc.
