AstrHori AH-M1 light meter – silver

Podrobný popis

The AstrHori AH-M1 is a light meter primarily designed for users of analog cameras and enthusiasts of manual photography. The device is made of aluminum and features a cold shoe mount. It offers metering in the EV1–EV22 range and 2 priority modes – aperture or shutter speed. Convenient operation is ensured by a large dial and a readable backlit screen. The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter works for up to 12 hours on a single charge. It allows setting ISO sensitivity from 5 to 6400, as well as shutter speeds – from 32 s to 1/8000 s. It also includes exposure compensation (±3 EV). This is an excellent tool for those shooting analog, using fully manual lenses, or simply wanting precise exposure control without relying on camera automation. Main Product Features compact light meter for analog and digital cameras lightweight aluminum housing adjustable cold shoe position (hex key included) averaged light metering with a viewing angle of approx. 30° two operating modes: aperture priority (A) and shutter priority (T) metering range EV1–EV22 (ISO 100) – metering from very dark to bright scenes shutter speeds 32 s – 1/8000 s – from long exposures to fast shots aperture range from f/1 to f/32 – better depth of field control wide ISO range 5–6400 – works in bright and very low light exposure compensation ±3 EV – easier brightness correction readable 0.66-inch OLED screen simple operation with one dial and button fast single metering (≤ 0.5 s) 120 mAh battery – up to 12 hours of continuous operation fast charging via USB-C port (about 40 minutes) automatic sleep mode and shutdown after 3 hours can be used handheld, without mounting on the camera ideal for cameras without built-in light meter useful tool when working with video materials Precise Measurements in Analog Style The AstrHori AH-M1 is a light meter designed for photographers who want full control over exposure – whether working with a classic rangefinder, analog SLR, or any other camera that doesn't offer light metering. The device performs averaged metering with a 30° viewing angle, which perfectly matches the perspective of a standard 50 mm lens. This makes the results precise and easy to translate into real exposure settings. The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter helps you work consciously, especially where camera automation fails – in harsh sunlight, difficult contrast, or night shots. A and T Modes – Exposure Always Under Control The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter offers two operating modes: aperture priority (A) and shutter priority (T). In A mode, you only set the aperture – the light meter calculates the correct exposure time. In T mode, you do the opposite: select the shutter speed, and the device provides the optimal aperture. This is an ideal solution for street photography, travel, or working with black-and-white film, where exposure consistency and repeatability are key. Wide Range of Parameter Adjustments The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter impresses with its range of capabilities. It allows working with ISO sensitivities from 5 to 6400, apertures from f/1 to f/32, and shutter speeds from 32 seconds to 1/8000 s. This makes it perfect for both night photography and shooting in full sunlight. Exposure compensation ±3 EV also ensures conscious corrections. This is particularly useful in difficult lighting conditions with high contrast, snow, sand, or strong point light sources. Such a wide range of settings makes the AstrHori AH-M1 light meter a versatile tool, suitable for both vintage retro cameras and modern models with limited parameters. Intuitive Operation and Readable OLED Screen The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter was created with maximum ease of use in mind. The device is equipped with one large dial, one button, and a readable 0.66-inch OLED screen. All parameters – ISO, compensation, shutter speed, aperture, operating mode – are visible even in strong daylight. The device's ergonomics make operation quick and convenient, even with gloves. This is a light meter that really speeds up work and allows you to focus on the frame, not the settings. Ideal for street photographers and creators who work on the move and don't want to waste time navigating menus. Durable Aluminum Construction for Years The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter is made of aluminum, making it durable, lightweight, and resistant to daily use. It weighs only 48 g, so it doesn't burden the camera or bag. The cold shoe mount can be precisely adjusted to the light meter (hex key included) to be compatible with a specific camera and not obstruct dials or the viewfinder. The device can also be used off the camera body, holding it in hand like a classic handheld light meter. Ready for Long Sessions The built-in 120 mAh battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous metering. After 25 seconds of inactivity, the device enters sleep mode, and after about 3 hours, it shuts down automatically. Full charging via USB-C port takes about 40 minutes. Just use the cable included in the kit, which you can connect to a power bank or smartphone charger. The universal charging system offered by the AstrHori AH-M1 light meter is a huge advantage during long outdoor sessions, travel, and film work. Universal Choice The metering range offered by the AH-M1 light meter – from EV1 to EV22 (at ISO 100) – covers both very low light and full sun. This makes the device suitable for almost any situation: from interiors and night shots to midday outdoor sessions. Fast readout (under 0.5 s) allows immediate response, which is crucial in changing lighting. The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter remains precise even where light is difficult and uneven – on the street, during concerts, or in night conditions. Filmmakers Will Love This Light Meter Too! The AstrHori AH-M1 light meter works perfectly for video production as well – especially where exposure repeatability is key. It enables precise brightness settings for shots when working with fully manual lenses or when consistent exposure between scenes is important. With aperture and shutter priority modes, you can quickly adjust parameters to changing lighting conditions, and exposure compensation allows you to consciously build the frame's mood – from bright, documentary shots to more cinematic, contrasty lighting. The AstrHori AH-M1 also helps avoid exposure fluctuations, making post-production color correction easier.
