Lumu Light Meter Unboxing/Review (iPhone Light Meter)

[@thesk13ater]

I didnt even know what a light meter was until this video. Great tutorial!

[@socali09]

They seemed to have listened to you because all that you talked about on this video. The apps they have on iTunes have been upgraded. I am purchasing one. Thanks for the review! Keep up the good work.

[@MrPanKrab]

16:30 You have so many emails :o Nice review! I watched and enjoyed it :) The video was a bit long but it's your style - you say all about thing the video is, and… I like it :)

[@chefkendranguyen]

Very detailed review, thanks. It does seem a little confusing and you're right about that little case thing.

[@dylanhayn9500]

Great video review! I was so surprised when the video popped up, I recognized the name and face immediately from seeing you come through Du-All. Great channel!

[@thomashvnmusic]

I got it today. It came with DHL and i made the order directly from their website. It is a product made in Slovenia. In EU it costs 149euros including shipping. Its a tiny thing but its pretty accurate. For 150 euros i said what the heck i might have a go at it. Update: 3 months, still working... For the price you can't beat that. Is really good and quite accurate for metering however bear in light.

[@Wordsmiths]

I've learned a lot about light meters now, thank you! Minor thought about the neck-strap design: I actually disagree with you, and think it's perfect as-is. When I'm up to my elbows in something and need a little tool like this one, just for a sec, it's very helpful to be able to give it a tug with one hand and use it immediately. That would be more awkward if it rested "right side up" in a neck pendant holster of some kind. It would also either be more bulky than the existing design, or it would leave the plug exposed or less-protected, I imagine. On the other hand, you're certainly right that the current design depends 100% on getting the tiny detente ring or knob engineered exactly right, inside that little tube: Too tight and it's a hassle to get the Lumu out, too loose and it's a hassle keeping it in. The first time it slipped out accidentally too easily (without obviously snagging on something), I'd throw the neck strap away and keep the dang thing in a shirt pocket instead.

[@JarrodTetreault]

I tend to learn tons from any tutorial you put out, so count my vote for a light meter tutorial

[@KIRROFF]

Just bought my first DSLR a canon 600d and I wish I knew 0,1% of what you know on filming with DSLR, nice review on that photometer ,u just got a new subscriber.

[@WideAppeal]

I've got one of these and it works wonderfully well with my iPhone. Never bothered reading the manual or spotted the typos... life's too short lol. Have a think about adopting a systematic approach to making these videos.

[@boris7362]

does it help? Is it a good gadget? Could it improve my photography and help me learn faster?

[@Harryontwowheels]

Thank you for doing this Review! Very interesting device, but the app is a pain in the a**!!! Not in ten years i would have understand how it works. So thank you also for "not shorten" this Video too much. Thumbs up!

[@Snakif]

Hey Steve! Could you make a video explaining the cast of a film making? Who does what? ect. Director, DOP, DA, TD, you name it ... I think this may be a great tutorial and a lot of people may like it! Thanks!

[@azumusazumus2648]

Great review! Like your way to make informative videos. Keep on!

[@thetask1337]

Great review! Definitely do the Light meter for DSLR tutorial.

[@Dmsstudios64]

Im a beginner light meter user so i would like that intro they did. it might really be worth getting but i have never used a meter before. We will see

[@bdmp]

Great review. I just got this and was equally confused. Now I feel very comfortable with this - thanks to you and others comments. Thanks!

[@rishibhasin8149]

hi i loved your tutorial video on basic dslr settings. My question is can i use iPhone 5s to take photos for selling them online on shutter stock or similar websites. Further i am using camera plus app for clicking pics. please comment

[@SuperReelmccoy]

Just learning the Glidecam. I watched your balancing on the HD 2000 I think when I subscribed youtube threw me out of the video. Just to let you know which video I was watching when subscribed. Thanks for the info.

[@tarika2732]

Duuude 42 minutes? How long are your camera reviews, 3 hours?

[@Its.melvin]

Old video but a good review, the app is probably better by now too. Going to watch more reviews and I am considering purchasing to light meter my film photography.

[@TheNULibrary]

Really good review. Same thing I thought when I got mine... but it's really great and a LOT easier to carry around that my Minolta FM4.

[@burpingcricket]

Light meter tutorial - yes please.

[@hamerovv]

What am I missing? How difficult is it to enable the app record the light peek thus measure light when flash is triggered. Why no one is adding this feature and make you smartphone be good for measuring flash lights?

[@asureshot]

As I waited, you provided the info for your settings. LOL Thanks

[@asureshot]

What camera and lens are you shooting this vid with? What are your settings? Thanks for everything you do for us.

[@TheSandarud]

Welcome back...! (y)

[@asureshot]

Yes, do a light meter. I will check ti see if you have uploaded one.

[@anandgudimanchi674]

Man you are good and genuine . .just need a good editor. I expect entire thing in fast forward 4 min video max.

[@KDVIDEOCLIPS]

A Light Meter Tutorial Would Be Most Appreciated. Hope To See One Soon. Thanks In Advance.

[@WolfsInk]

I'd say go to an electronic parts store and by a 3.5mm jack that works with the 3 ring system and just solder a keyring to the end, problem solved for the holder mentioned at 12m.

[@skipster68]

stella is only the best beer !!!!!!

[@quickcuts3000]

love you man. but this video needs a chainsaw for an editor.

[@DiCasaFilm]

Wanna edit it down for me? ;) The raw footage was 55 minutes. I cut out a whole 12 minutes!

[@jeremieplourde4339]

did you check there dedicated video app

[@JosesGarage101]

hi. great review. I would like to make a review on Swedish and Spanish. how can I contact LUMU company? regards Jose

[@thomashvnmusic]

If you can't afford a Seconik that costs 800$ and you are a student filmmaker, this is a safe bet. Not bad Lumu, not bad... I'm so buying this shit. Actually 2 years ago i was wondering why no one did an iPhone light meter add on. Well here it is i guess.

[@MegaYuyu2010]

u talk too much .... it's not a rocket

[@shawna688]

Yes please on the light meter tutorial

[@iangrogan5261]

It's meant for photographers, specifically film photography.

[@siobhanjackson2264]

+Ian Grogan that is no longer true. Check out the website.

[@janiceamaba1498]

thanks a lot for the idea u share

[@TonyDupre]

They claim that it is usable on Android, but there are no apps for it, even though they claim there is an Android app. This is a complete lie. I was going to buy this, but I guess I won't now.

[@StreetFighterCasuals]

It really is ww.lu.mu or lu.mu or www.lu.mu That's weird.

[@DiCasaFilm]

Go to 9:28 to see the answer!

[@KenmoreChalfant]

DiCasaFilm Just FYI, the "www" part is called a sub-domain; and sub-domains can really be anything you want. "www" is just a convention for web pages; although these days it's probably even more common to have no subdomain as the default for your website (which is why the "www" is optional 99% of the time). They probably chose just 2 w's to be cute; like each section is only 2 letters. ww.lu.mu

[@hmdigiart7857]

A push release clip would be better.

[@cameraman655]

Seriously......$300.00 for that? I'll stick with my Minolta Autometer IVF that I bought new in 1993. She may have seen better but it's still a rockin after 24 hard years.

[@RobertXPhotography]

I think there is a law that is prohibits the advertising and drinking of alcohol in advertisement. Careful.

[@JaredLichtenberger]

15 minutes into the video I had to stop watching. This dude is way too nit picky.

[@geojor]

thank you for this...

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I always open and try first and then read the manual to see where I screwed up - I think that's the regular guy way to do it. Get lost then look for road map. Oh and to them - you are the foreigner.

[@arunmadhusudhanan9478]

does anyone else think Steve resembles Andrew Scott a bit ?

[@glenncollins8518]

The company sounds to be legit, however, the beer w the multitudes of cuts that need to be made wasn't enough. With the on going beer speaking blah, blah, blah. Has trashed this product. This is very unprofessional & inappropriate. . I honestly could not finish seeing this. If anything to say: give the company your professionalism that they had hoped you would preformed in behalf of their product. I was sen stele interested in this product, and as "photographer", I will need to look elsewhere for a good review. Sorry, will will not wTch any of your other videos. Unless I want to laugh w friends a the pub!

[@MrVh78]

The next IF u ever get a product to review, spend a week toying it BEFORE u do the review, damn dude

[@robertmccully2792]

Your all over the place? Be better to figure it out first then make the video.. Sorry but waste of my time.

[@glenncollins8518]

.

[@siobhanjackson2264]

+robert mccully the purpose is to illustrate the learning process of the product and subsequent application. If he had used it already, instead of discovering the product WITH his audience, he would be listing features. He would giving a tutorial instead of an unboxing and first look video. That is why he is all over the place.

[@proimagephotographersvideo8787]

The buyer may no its a light meter but the the receiver (if a gift) may not, open your mind beyond your own thoughts.

[@ekp-g205]

I agree on the default settings, better tutorials, and it would be great to actually see what the settings are. I actually like the pouch, and would put it on my camera strap. Video app is on itunes apple link for lumu meter. itunes.apple.com/si/app/lumu-video/id896540300?mt=8

[@fordprefectca]

Torturous,

[@markr9750]

Zzzzzzzzz…... Is it over yet?

[@vickc4422]

half way through the video and i still don't know what the hell a light meter is

[@mohansingbamjantamang1494]

nice

[@litoaz]

Save ink? wtf

[@glennwhittington7783]

Geezus! Get to how it works not how it is defying gravity!

[@KenpachiZzaraki]

Pretty useless for photography not be able to measure flash or strobe, any camera can do good measure of continues lightening.

[@SanjiWhite]

Not if you shoot a film camera without a built in meter ;-)

[@pacoev]

CInema

[@Admin-ps9bz]

Brother - your review is good, but you're over the top tedious. It feels like I'm talking my 80 year old mother through a computer problem. Do we really need to read EVERY WORD? Do you really need to say the obvious over and OVER again? This should have been a 10 minute video at best.

[@patletek]

Come on, stick to your cinema light meter this seems to be for people with the ability to think... Wish I could get back the 22 minutes of useless video I saw... Product review is a skill you don't have.

[@bttrswtnva689]

guy has no clue what hes saying

[@DiCasaFilm]

Any constructive criticism? Did i get anything wrong? Why do you say that?
