Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus EL-19368 Wireless Flash Trigger

The EL-Skyport Receiver Plus is a compact wireless receiver that extends the EL-Skyport system to speedlights and third-party flashes. It pairs with an EL-Skyport transmitter to trigger off-camera flash units reliably and supports convenient on-camera mounting via an extra hotshoe. The receiver uses widely available AA batteries and includes a micro‑USB port for firmware updates and a 3.5 mm sync socket for wired connections.

Advantages

The receiver offers reliable triggering and adjustable flash control up to 200 m (656 ft) from the transmitter. It provides an extra hotshoe for secure attachment of speedlights, 16 selectable channels (8 in normal mode and 8 in speed mode), and both normal and speed sync modes compatible with leaf‑shutter cameras. The unit is designed for simple operation, durable mechanics and ergonomic Swiss styling.

Suitable for

• Studio and on‑location photography with off‑camera speedlights
• Mixed setups using Elinchrom and third‑party flash units

How to use

Use the extra hotshoe to secure speedlights and keep firmware up to date via the micro‑USB port for improved compatibility.
