I would like to use this meter to check the incident light at various places across a green screen for video, to ensure that the green screen is evenly lit. Is this meter a good choice for that application, or is there a different meter that's more...

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

I used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

I use this meter to check voltage on my AA and AAA batteries, however, I do not understand the term "Clamp Meter" so I guess I can't answer your question but I really like the meter. Phil in Oklahoma

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

I have one and the light meter worked for about a month after i got it. The light mustve died or something im not sure but i know its not the batteries.

it depends on your setup. I've used it for green screen along with other lights--as long as your entire lighting is fairly balanced, you should have a good key. These lights are pretty bright and can be adjusted with the dimmer.

the meter will measure only a point in time and at that measurement everything may be fine. Problem is an hour later the voltage may have degraded due to all the other campers loading down the system. You could leave the meter connected continuously but then you would have to be looking at it all the time for a voltage drop - some so fast you may miss. You could purchase a line voltage monitor with an adjustable trip point / alarm. So if the normal voltage is 120 volts and your alarm trip point is say 110 then you would get an auidable alarm so you could shut down any devices that could be damaged by low voltage. This type of monitor would be a better investment than the meter since it monitors the line voltage 24X7. Something like this would be a better idea in my opinion - Technology Research AECM20020 Digital Monitor - I did a quick amazon search on Line voltage Monitor Alarm

I not shure, I used this light meter for comparing diferent types of lamps, especially to change to LED. Also to verify the lights, to be shure that all the areas of the stores have the same quanty of light.

It is a useful tool. However, more neighborhoods are getting upgraded meters that can provide this information. Check with your utility. Wandering round the house with the display, switching things on and off gives you a great sense of what is consuming power and whether you can or want to do anything about it. I was surprised, for example, just how much power was still used by my subwoofer when the stereo was off.

this was used to test "household smoke detectors" It was effective when used. which is critical if you don't know if an old smoke detector works. Any further specs should be referred to manufacturer. When in doubt, replace smoke detector, and then test

Meter turns on all display segments briefly, then displays FCty. After releasing button, display goes into bright background with a repeating flicker. This is not a mode the manual talks about. Normal? No idea. I couldn't be happier with this meter, though (117)

One additional point. One good thing...There is a status indicator that shows when there is interaction/interference from any source and how much (the more interference the more the status light blinks...where there is none, it stays off)...I actually used it like a homing device to find the right area with the least amount of interference. Without it, I probabably would have pulled my hair out trying to locate the sources of interference.

There are 3 different reference levels(calculations) that this meter can do. The meter is accurate within what it cam measure. Read the manual on what the meter uses and what uther things can throw off the readings. I have found to to be pretty good meter myself.

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

This flash meter is designed to take readings from any type of photographic Flash Unit. measures incident or reflective light readings. I use it on indoor still photography. Works great for that.

Are you using a light meter and setting your camera to the values the meter provides? If not, that would be an awesome place to start....
