SekonicLiteMaster Pro L 478D U Light Meter 401 474, Black

Q: What function were added to this model that were not included in the discontinued model, beyond the 3 yr warranty? Thanks

No difference really, just a way to tell US radios from others- FCC vs CE designations. The new model designated by "-U" was created to indicate that it operates on US frequencies (the FCC radio frequencies that PWs operate on in the US market). The purpose is to combat grey market product sold from overseas that often is not compatible with PW sold for the US market. Prior to the new model designation, the only way to tell if it was a US model was to look for the FCC or CE markings inside the battery cover, something not readily apparent when shopping on Amazon or eBay. In fact, I bought 2 L478D (sold and shipped by Amazon) over the past 2 years and both were not US FCC models so I had to return them. I bought the U model when it came out and am very happy with it. If you don't use the PW radio function, you won't see any functional differences.

Q: Will this meter trigger my camera flash or do I need to buy a pocket wizard?

You will need the L-478DR-U version. It comes with a built in radio trigger. You will also need a flash with pocket wizard or external pocket wizard attached to flash.

Q: Will the Radio Popper module, originally made for the 378, fit in the 478?

Hi,The L-478D-U is a non radio unit. You can attach many manufacturers triggers via sync cord. The Sekonic L-478DR-U series meters have built-in wireless triggering for Elinchrom (Skyport), Phottix (Strato II, Ares II) and Pocket Wizard.Regards,Will H.

Q: What is the difference between this one and this new sekonic l-478dr-u pocket wizard lightmeter with exclusive usa radio frequency and exclusive 3-yr?

The 478D doesn't have radio triggering capability. The 478DR has PocketWizard radio triggering capability.
