The EL-Skyport System — Overview

The EL-Skyport System

The EL-Skyport system allows the photographer to break free from sync cords and unreliable IR systems. Many improvements have been done to the EL-Skyport system since its launch.

Various levels of function and control are available depending on the units you have: The Universal receiver module can trigger cameras via optional shutter release cables and is compatible with all Elinchrom classic units, most speedlights and most of other flash brands for triggering.

Units with the built-in Skyport such as D-lite RX One, D-lite RX 2/4, BRX 250/500 and Ranger Quadra Hybrid can be triggered and have the additional option of power settings and modelling lamp on/off.

The Style RX series, the Digital RX series and the Ranger RX series all require the Transceiver RX module to be triggered whereas the control of power settings and modelling on/off are also available. On these units, the SPEED mode can be activated via the EL-Skyport Software 3.0.
