Camera Data Transmitter Elinchrom 19366

The Elinchrom Camera Data Transmitter (model E19366) — also known as the EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus HS — is a compact hotshoe-mounted radio transmitter that gives photographers two-way wireless control of Elinchrom lights and enables high-speed flash synchronization up to 1/8000s. The unit features a large backlit LCD, one-touch sure‑lock mounting foot, AF illuminator for faster focusing, and is powered by two AA batteries. It supports extended working ranges for studio and outdoor use and connects via mini‑USB for firmware updates.

Advantages

The transmitter provides real-time visual feedback of each remote flash’s power on its large LCD, allowing you to change power levels and modeling lamp settings directly from the transmitter. Hi‑Sync mode expands sync speeds beyond camera X‑Sync to freeze motion, darken backgrounds or use wider apertures. The device offers up to 20 frequency channels with four groups, a reliable range up to 200 m outdoors (656 ft) and backwards compatibility with previous EL‑Skyport receivers and integrated modules.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait and product photography requiring remote power control
• On‑location and outdoor shoots where extended range is needed
• High‑speed flash work (freeze motion, overpower ambient light) using Hi‑Sync
• Users of Elinchrom lighting systems who need two‑way communication and firmware upgradability

How to use

Mount the transmitter securely to the camera hotshoe using the one‑touch quick‑lock mechanism and insert two AA batteries. Turn on the transmitter and pair it with your Elinchrom receiver or integrated unit by selecting the same channel and group. Use the large LCD and Digital Dial to view and adjust remote flash power and modeling lamp settings; the display shows real‑time feedback of updated settings. Switch to Hi‑Sync mode when you need sync speeds beyond your camera’s X‑Sync and fine‑tune timing (ODS/Over Drive Sync) as required for high shutter speeds. Connect the mini‑USB port to a computer when firmware updates are available.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use fresh quality AA batteries and test channel/group combinations when shooting in busy RF environments. Use Hi‑Sync to freeze motion or reduce ambient exposure, and verify compatibility and Hi‑Sync performance with your camera model before critical shoots.
