The LIT DUO 1 combines color, exposure, illuminance, spectrum, and a flicker meter all into one pocket-sized device inside a durable aluminum body. The concept behind LIT DUO 1 was to make an all-in-one device that could be used by filmmakers.
The LIT DUO 1 was designed for ease of use and to enable fast workflows. It features a unique user interface based on pioneering software and tactile physical controls.
