At the center of Gossen's certification light metering system is the MAVOMASTER, a compact, all-in-one control and display unit that generates and stores lighting measurements when used with any MAVOPROBE. The MAVOMASTER interprets MAVOPROBE readings in both absolute and relative values, calculates derivative values, and charts these values over time to provide the user with an in-depth understanding of any lighting environment.

The unit takes one AA battery and has 8GB of internal storage that functions as an external drive when connected to a PC via USB and used with MAVOSOFT software for Microsoft Windows. Only one MAVOPROBE can be connected to a MAVOMASTER at a time.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How much is calibration? How often is it required?

A: Gossen recommends a calibration interval of 12 to 24 months, depending on the operating conditions of the measuring device. Unfortunately we do not offer any calibration services. The recalibration takes place in the GOSSEN light laboratory on a checked and monitored optical bench. You would need to contact Gossen directly for recalibration.

Q: 2. what material is this meter made of?

A: The body of the Gossen Digisix 2 Ambient Light Meter is made of a hard industrial plastic.

Q: 3. Can this light meter fire and measure the shutter and f stop of a studio flash without it being attached to the studio flash itself?

A: Flash readings can be taken with or without synchronizing cable. When used in conjunction with a synchronizing cable the flash is triggered by pressing the M button - the flash is automatically triggered and measured. When used without a cable, the meter will wait up to 45 seconds for you to trigger the flash yourself.

Q: 4. Are there any differences between this Digisix 2 and the older Gossen Digisix?

A: There are not any major differences, they basically upgraded the first a bit. From Gossen: This meter expands the measuring functions of manually adjustable cameras to include incident light measurement, by means of which better exposure can be achieved for unusual subject contrast. Integrated contrast measurement also indicates whether or not subject contrast, i.e. the difference between the brightest and darkest part of the subject, can be managed by the sensor or the film .

Q: 5. I have an old Gossen Digital Luna Pro. Great meter over-all. The only problem-The white incident/reflective sliding dome over time does not stay locked in place. I know other people who have experienced the same problem...Does anyone knowif this problem has been resolved on the new Gossen Sixtomat F2 Light Meter? Pete 8/9/2015

A: I've just bought the Gossen Sixtomat F2 and have had it just over a month. As far as I can see there is no problem with regards to not staying locked although who knows what might eventuate over time. The reason I bought the Gossen is because of its reputation and it is a very good piece of equipment to help the photographer.

Q: 6. "Can it toggle back and forth between a shutter speed/aperture reading (let’s say, f/8 @ 1/60) and then to its EV equivalent (say, EV 12) (and then back to f/8 @ 1/60) or does changing the mode erase the existing reading?"

A: Yes you can

Q: 7. Can Gossen MAVOSPEC measures flash light?

A: Hi,The Mavospec cannot measure flash light in a proper way, due to the long integration time. However it's capable of providing spectral data for the flash light.Normally when measuring flash light, the aim is to set a proper exposure for the cameras. For this, the Mavospec is useless.For this purpose, use e. g. a Seconic exposure meter.Tore
