How to control Elinchrom units with Speedlights

You can trigger Elinchrom flashes with Speedlights.

For a correct synchronization, you need to use the pre-flash feature of the photocell.

  • Go to the menu Photocell
  • Select preflash and confirm
  • Select Setup preflash 
  • Select Auto and confirm
  • Display shows: waiting preflashes
  • Now use your camera with the Speedlight mounted and trigger the camera directed to the photocell.

Now the photocell is correctly adjusted and will only trigger with the main flash.
