Rise to the challenge. Brave each new day with confidence. The Elinchrom ELC 125 and ELC 500 studio monolights are built to survive every creative adventure.
Tough and reliable with TTL, Manual Lock, HSS, Smart Pro-Active Cooling and Auto-On, and directly compatible with Elinchrom’s world-renowned light modifiers, they’re essential kit for advanced photographers in rapidly changing conditions.
You’ll be ready to go when the moment of inspiration strikes you.
Shoot in TTL to speed up your workflow and take control with Manual Lock without losing your exposure settings to make quick adjustments and explore new creative effects.
You’re the boss. Thanks to Smart Pro-Active Cooling, your ELC 125 and ELC 500 learn your shooting style and adapt their cooling cycles around it.
The low-noise speed-controlled fan and cleverly engineered airflow system can handle the heaviest workloads too.
Use the bayonet Quick-Lock System to get direct access to Elinchrom’s best light modifiers.
Combined with the ELC’s bright, daylight LED modelling lamp to help pre-visualisation, the potential to evolve your lighting style is endless.
ELCs are built to last. Take them on your next adventure, and the next, and the next…
Each element is rigorously tested and designed to deliver maximum reliability over an extended lifetime.
Infinite styling possibilities and unlimited flexibility with the ELC 125 and ELC 500. Whether you’re experimenting in your living room or working in a big studio, they both acclimate and can be powered down to 7 Ws.
You can count on your ELCs to reach your desired depth of field or add just a hint of light – and thanks to HSS, you can freeze motion, overpower ambient light and darken backgrounds too.
Freeze motion in Action mode or use High Speed Sync.
Darken or outshine the ambient light or use a wider aperture: the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro gives you access to HSS to seamlessly synchronize at speeds up to 1/8000s.
As important as a solid studio strobe, light modifiers are where the real magic happens and Elinchrom’s are world-renowned. With your ELCs, you get direct access at the click of switch, so push your limits, step out of your comfort zone.
Never let your equipment limit you.

How to update the firmware of the ELC 125 and ELC 500

A list of compatible cameras and flash units with the Transmitter Pro is available here.

Hi-Sync or HSS mode is detected automatically.
Enabling the Hi-Sync/HSS feature is very simple but different for each camera.
However, some cameras need a specific setup to be able to engage Hi-Sync or HSS.
How to setup hi-sync / hss mode.
TTL is only here to help you if needed.
If you don’t want TTL, you can just as easily use it in Manual mode.
You can start in TTL, lock exposure, and then switch to manual, we call this Manual Lock.
Previously, we only introduced products with Hi-Sync as HSS had a substantial disadvantage of power.
With the ELB 500 TTL, we have been able to optimize HSS to the point that it is not dissimilar in power to Hi-Sync, thus making Elinchrom’s HSS the most powerful HSS from comparable powered units on the market to date.
We are in a world where we need to work faster with an efficient workflow.
This is why we introduced TTL within our portfolio of products.
Yes, you can use Elinchrom TTL units together with older Elinchrom flash units, but only in Manual mode, of course.
On Elinchrom TTL units (ELB 500, ELC, ONE, THREE) Action ON means that the focus is on providing the fastest flash duration while trading a bit of colour temperature stability.
Action OFF means that the focus is on providing the best possible color temperature stability while trading flash duration speed.
The ELC Pro HD is Elinchrom’s top-of-the-range compact unit.
The ELC Pro HD offers a more powerful halogen modelling lamp, faster recycling times and is available with more power if necessary but cannot achieve TTL and HSS.
The ELC 125/500 on the other hand offers TTL, HSS, and an LED modelling lamp.
Yes, TTL and HSS features are implemented in the ELC 125 and the ELC 500.
Nimm die Herausforderung an. Starte jeden neuen Tag mit voller Zuversicht. Die kompakten Blitzgeräte Elinchrom ELC 125 und Elinchrom ELC 500 für die Studiofotografie sind wie geschaffen für kreative Stunts.

Kurzum: die unverzichtbare Ausrüstung für fortgeschrittene Fotografen in schnell wechselnden Arbeitsbedingungen. Sobald die Inspiration zuschlägt, bist du am Zug.
Fotografiere mit TTL für einen schnelleren Workflow. Die Funktion Manual Lock, wenn von TTL auf Manual umgestellt wird, sorgt für die gewünschte Grundeinstellung der Belichtung, die kurzerhand der jeweiligen Situation anpasst werden kann, um kreative Effekte auszuprobieren.
Du bist der Boss. Dank der intelligenten pro-aktiven Lüfterkühlung „lernen“ ELC 125 und ELC 500 deinen fotografischen Stil und passen die Kühlungszyklen entsprechend an. Der geräuscharme drehzahlgeregelte Lüfter und das ausgeklügelte Luftstromsystem sind für höchste Belastungen ausgelegt.
Mit dem Bajonett-Quick-Lock-System hat man direkten Zugriff auf die besten Lichtformer von Elinchrom. In Kombination mit der hellen, Tageslicht-LED-Einstelllampe des ELC hilft es bei der Vorvisualisierung. Das Potenzial für die individuelle Lichtgestaltung ist schier endlos.
Auf ELCs ist langfristig Verlass. Dein nächstes Shooting kommt bestimmt. Jedes Bauteil wurde sorgfältig entwickelt und getestet für maximale Zuverlässigkeit und eine längere Lebensdauer.
Erlebe selbst, wie Kreativität gedeiht und wie viele flexible Einstellungen mit ELC 125 und ELC 500 Wirklichkeit werden. Ob in deinem Wohnzimmer zu experimentieren oder in einem großen Studio zu arbeiten: Beide akklimatisieren sich und bei Bedarf kann auf 7 Joule heruntergefahren werden. Mit den ELC-Modellen erzielst du garantiert die gewünschte Tiefenschärfe oder auch nur einen Hauch von Licht. Und dank HSS werden Bewegungen eingefroren, überstrahlen das Umgebungslicht und bändigen zu helle Hintergründe.
Friere Bewegungen im Action Modus ein oder verwende High Speed Sync. Verdunkele oder überstrahle das Umgebungslicht oder verwende eine größere Blende: Der Elinchrom Transmitter Pro bietet dir den Zugang zu HSS, um nahtlos mit Verschlusszeiten von bis zu 1/8000 s zu synchronisieren.
So wichtig ein solider Studioblitz auch ist, durch Lichtformer wird die Magie freigesetzt: Die von Elinchrom sind weltweit renommiert. Mit den ELC-Modellen hast du direkten Zugriff auf den Auslöseknopf. Erkunde neue Horizonte und verlasse die Komfortzone. Die Ausrüstung sollte dich nicht daran hindern.
