Got tired of forgetting my meter and fill my pockets with unnecessary stuff, so i made this.... no that's a "handy" light meter :-)

It is a creative idea, although the strap "lock mechanism" looks a bit too big IMHO (and I usually wear big watches so personally that space is already occupied anyway :D ). But why not simply wearing your Gossen around your neck, like jewelery too, but on the regular neck strap that came with it? :) I wear mine usually tucked under my sweater, or under my tie if I wear a suit, even around the house (which is a good reason for my wife to make fun of me :p )

That's pretty cool!

 

I never forget this little meter though. I have forgot my phone, wallet, watch but not the meter.

 

I even went out to dinner with my lady one night and was not bringing my camera. But when we sat down, I realized I had stuffed the Gossen in my pocket. We both had a laugh...:p

You do not need an addictional watch, since the Gossen has a built in watch, timer and even a temperature meter, but of course it does not replace a Rolex :-)

(But the last time i checked i had two wrists :-)

 

I know i could just have it around my neck in a strap, but i hate things dingeling around from side to side and annoy me even more, so if i can have it a place i don't even notice it, i'm happy as a kitten... so for me this is perfect, and i think there should be a meter like this in production, so Sekonic, Gossen and others, take note, use this idea and make it even better... :-)

Good idea. I also have the digisix, but mine depletes the battery in a day or two. So, it's practically useless for me.

 

Swop it for a new one, i think they have lifetime warranty for this kind of things...

I just made you a "Barbie Limited Edition" version Erik for you upcoming 16'th birthday :-)

 

Sweetness. :D Its a nice idea. I think its great for the summer time when you only have short pants with small pockets and a t-shirt on. At winter time my jacket pockets are so big that I dont care about having it in the pocket anyway.

Very clever, Alexander. What do you put on your other wrist?

 

Thx, on the other wrist i got Inspector Gadget watch which turns into a inflatable amphibian car with a built in darkroom :-)
