Compare the Sekonic RT-GX and RT-BR radio modules for the L-858D light meter. Learn which flash trigger module fits your studio setup best.
Quick answer
Choose the Sekonic RT-GX if you use Godox flashes; pick the RT-BR for Broncolor studio lights. Both modules replace the factory radio board inside the L-858D and share the same physical design.
What these modules do
The Sekonic L-858D Speedmaster light meter ships with a user-replaceable radio slot. The RT-GX and RT-BR modules fit into that slot, giving you wireless flash triggering without an extra pocket trigger. Both modules are sold as accessories, so you can swap them if your lighting system changes.
Key differences at a glance
The RT-GX works with Godox's 2.4 GHz radio system, offering 32 channels, 16 groups, and wireless IDs. The RT-BR targets Broncolor studio packs and monolights, providing 99 radio studio addresses and 40 lamp addresses. Range also differs: the RT-BR is rated at 30 m / 100 ft, while the RT-GX's range depends on the Godox transmitter standard.
Neither module adds or removes any metering function. The trade-off is purely about which flash brand you own or plan to rent.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Godox RT-GX: If you already own Godox flashes or plan to build a Godox-based kit, this module gives you direct triggering from the meter. The 32 channels and 16 groups cover most location and studio setups.
- Broncolor RT-BR: If your studio runs Broncolor packs or monolights, the RT-BR provides dedicated address management (99 studio addresses, 40 lamp addresses) and a 30 m / 100 ft range. No extra trigger needed.
- Compatibility note: Neither module works with the other brand's flashes. You cannot mix Godox and Broncolor triggering through the same module. If you switch brands later, you buy the other module. Buy the module that matches your current flash system.
