Elinchrom ELB 500 TTL To Go

The Elinchrom ELB 500 TTL is a battery-powered flash pack built for photographers who need speed, control and reliable performance in studio and on location. With TTL, High Speed Sync up to 1/8000s and the ability to control two flash heads individually across a 7-stop range, it gives you the flexibility to work quickly without giving up precision. In Action mode, flash durations down to 1/20,000s help you freeze fast movement, while the battery delivers up to 400 full-power flashes and up to 28,000 flashes at minimum power. Active Charge also allows you to power the unit from a wall outlet while shooting.

Fast to set up, easy to control

When conditions change quickly, TTL helps you get to a reliable starting point without slowing down your workflow. Be ready within seconds, then switch to manual on your transmitter when you want to fine-tune the light with more precision. It is a practical setup for photographers who need both speed and control.

Control your setup from the Elinchrom App

With Elinchrom Bridge and the Elinchrom iOS App, photographers can control compatible Elinchrom units directly from a mobile device. This makes it easier to manage both simple and more advanced lighting setups, adjust settings quickly and keep your workflow moving. Elinchrom Bridge is required to connect compatible Elinchrom units to the app.

Power with HSS

With 500 Ws, the ELB 500 TTL gives you the output needed to shape light in bright ambient conditions. Paired with the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro, High Speed Sync lets you synchronise at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. Freeze motion, control daylight, darken ambient light or work at wider apertures while keeping your setup consistent and flexible.

Built for photographers who work on the move

Portable freedom

The ELB 500 TTL combines portability with the performance needed for demanding shoots. It delivers up to 400 full-power flashes on a single charge, gives you Action mode for freezing movement and offers HSS for greater creative flexibility in changing light. On location, you can work fully on battery power. In the studio, Active Charge lets you plug into mains power and continue shooting while charging.

Reliable light quality

Portable does not have to mean compromise. The ELB 500 TTL delivers the light quality, colour consistency and output stability needed for professional work. Combined with Elinchrom light shapers and accessories, it gives you the control to build refined lighting setups across a wide range of shooting environments.

Focus on the story, not the setup

Flexible by design

The ELB 500 TTL is built to support a wide range of shooting styles, from portraits and editorial work to fast-moving location shoots. Used with two asymmetrically controlled flash heads, it gives you more ways to shape and balance light without adding unnecessary complexity. TTL and HSS help keep the workflow fast, while manual control is always close when precision matters.

A smoother workflow

The ELB 500 TTL is designed to reduce friction in real shooting situations. TTL helps you move faster when time is limited. HSS expands your options in bright conditions. Manual control remains immediately available when you want to refine your light. The result is a system that feels quicker to use and easier to trust from the first frame onward.
