A powerful and reliable studio flash kit for photographers who work at a fast pace, need consistent results, and want full control over light. The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 500 To Go Set combines high output, extremely fast recycling, and stable colour temperature in a studio flash kit built for professional use.
Built for speed, precision, and long working days
The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 500 is designed for photographers who do not want to adapt their workflow to the limits of their equipment. Fast recycling helps you maintain a high pace without losing rhythm, while the short flash duration makes it possible to freeze subject movement with sharp detail and consistent exposure.
That makes this flash well suited to everything from portrait and fashion work to commercial assignments and moving subjects.
Two 500 Ws flash units
The ELC Pro HD 500 To Go Set includes two 500 Ws studio flash units and a Skyport Transmitter Plus for wireless control. Everything is delivered in a compact bag with carrying handle and shoulder strap, making the set easy to transport between studio, location, and assignments.
This is a studio flash kit for photographers who want to get started right away and have a working tool that performs just as well in the studio as it does in a more mobile workflow.
Fast recycling supports a smoother workflow
The ELC Pro HD 500 recycles to full power in 0.6 seconds. At lower power levels, recycling time drops to as little as 0.05 seconds. This gives you the freedom to work at the pace your subject requires, whether you are photographing quick expressions, movement, or sequences where every exposure needs to land.
For you, that means fewer interruptions, more consistent image sequences, and greater confidence when the pace increases.
Short flash duration for sharper image results
When you need to freeze movement, flash duration matters. The ELC Pro HD 500 offers a very short flash duration, down to 1/5000 second at 57 Ws. This helps you achieve clean, sharp images even when the subject is moving quickly.
That is a clear advantage in everything from action-led portraits to fashion, dance, and commercial productions where fine detail matters.
A wide power range gives you more creative freedom
A power range from 8 Ws up to 500 Ws gives you strong flexibility in how you light your subject. Work with shallow depth of field for portraits, or build larger lighting setups that require more output and precision across the scene.
The broad seven-stop range makes it easier to adapt the light to the subject, environment, and look you want without compromise.
Stable colour and consistent exposure
Speed only matters when it is also reliable. The ELC Pro HD 500 is built to deliver even results over time, with high stability in both exposure and colour temperature. This creates a more predictable workflow, which is especially important in professional productions where image series need to stay consistent.
For photographers, that means less correction in post-production and more control during the shoot itself.
Easy to control, straightforward to use
The flash features a clear interface with intuitive controls and a display that makes it easy to view and adjust settings. This helps you access the functions you need quickly and work efficiently, even in more complex lighting setups.
The clear handling also makes advanced features feel more accessible in practice.
Wireless control with Skyport
With the included Skyport Transmitter Plus, you can trigger and control the flash wirelessly at distances of up to 200 metres. This makes it easier to fine-tune light without having to walk to each unit, saving time and supporting a smoother workflow.
For photographers who want to build a more connected workflow, support for Elinchrom Bridge is also available, opening up wireless control via computer or iOS device.
Transmitter Pro X
A more advanced wireless control option is available with the Transmitter Pro X. Its large display shows the set value for all flashes in your setup. You can control the flashes together or individually via touchscreen or controls, depending on the way you prefer to work.
Advanced flash features give you more creative freedom
Delay
Makes it possible to delay the flash and synchronise it precisely during the exposure time. This opens up more creative lighting effects and advanced setups with multiple units.
Sequence
Allows multiple flash units to work in sequence. This is especially useful in fast continuous shooting, where you want to distribute the load and maintain pace even at higher power levels.
Strobo
Creates stroboscopic effects within a single exposure, for images where movement is shown in multiple stages.
Smart Eye-Cell
An intelligent eye-cell function can detect the camera flash and trigger the ELC unit correctly, making it useful together with speedlights in hybrid setups.
Designed for professional use
The ELC Pro HD 500 is built for long working days at a high pace. Its microprocessor-controlled fan adapts cooling to the load, helping to keep noise levels down while maintaining performance.
Multivoltage support from 90–265 V also makes the flash flexible across different environments and compatible with many external battery solutions and voltage converters.
Compatible with Elinchrom light shapers
The ELC Pro HD 500 uses Elinchrom’s well-known bayonet mount and is compatible with a wide range of reflectors and light shapers. This gives you strong flexibility to adapt the light to your style, subject, and way of working.
