Compatibility
FAQ
Transmitter Pro
What are the differences between all the Elinchrom remotes?
You’ll find three types of remotes inside our range; two transmitters and one receiver.
- The Transmitter Plus is a universal transmitter compatible with most brands and cameras with a classic hot-shoe.
- The Transmitter Pro is a transmitter offering a display and additional functions such as HSS or TTL but is only compatible with brands, cameras, and units listed on this page.
- The Receiver Plus is a receiver for older Elinchrom units without a build-in receiver or other flash brand units and Speedlights.
What is ODS?
ODS means Over Drive Sync in Hi-Sync mode.
It enables to fine-tune the Transmitter Pro trigger signal to optimize exposure at high shutter speeds while gaining more light.
The ODS Setup offers adjustment from 0.1 to 5.0 ms or can be switched off.
The ODS value will vary depending on the camera and the flash unit used, and must be adjusted manually.
Transmitter Pro and unit compatibility
A list of compatible cameras and flash units with the Transmitter Pro is available here.
www.elinchrom.co.uk/support/compatibility/
Unit is not displayed on the Transmitter Pro
Units equipped with a plug-in Transceiver RX are limited in remote features.
These units can however be triggered and controlled (but with no visual feedback) by the Transmitter Pro.
For more information about compatibility, please check this page.
Use a Transmitter Pro for Canon on a Nikon camera and reverse
Yes, you can use it but in manual mode only.
Only the hot-shoe middle contact is available to trigger Elinchrom flash units.
You can use a Canon Transmitter Pro on a Nikon camera or a Nikon Transmitter Pro on a Canon in manual mode.
You can still control power and see the unit displayed on the Transmitter.
Keep in mind HS, HSS and ODS features are not available and will not have any effect.
Transmitter Pro firmware update
The firmware of the Transmitter Pro can be updated via the mini USB socket.
Please download the Elinchrom Updater software.
Blue and green light
The blue light in the back of the Transmitter Pro is the TTL communication with the camera.
The green light in the front of the Transmitter Pro is the EL-Skyport communication between the transmitter and the Elinchrom flash unit.
ELSP mode
The Skyport Transmitter system has 2 operating modes that offer different shooting functionalities.
NORMAL Sync Mode
Green LED – 200 m (656’) working range – Synchro is limited to X-Sync.
SPEED Sync Mode
Red LED – 100 m (328’) working range – Synchro is limited to X-Sync but enables faster shutter speeds only on digital medium format cameras.
To use shutter speeds of up to 1/8000s, the HS / Hi-Sync mode must be activated on the Transmitter Pro when used in both Normal and Speed mode.
Speed Mode and Transmitter Pro
If you apply sync mode settings (ELSP) to the Transmitter, you need to apply the same settings to the flash unit (same as changes in the frequency channel or group settings).
We recommend using the unit and transmitter always in Normal Sync mode, you gain maximum distance range and only use the HS function for faster shutter speeds, up to 1/8000s.
How to setup Hi-Sync/HSS ?
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.
HS and HSS in the same setup
Yes, TTL Elinchrom units integrated into an existing Elinchrom setup with Hi-Sync and HSS altogether work seamlessly.
Elinchrom’s HSS compared with Elinchrom’s Hi-Sync
The ELB 400 with a Quadra HS head and the ELB 500 TTL with an ELB 500 head are so very similar from power output. Whether one is more powerful than the other now depends upon the individual camera.
HSS offers the advantage of less exposure banding and no gradient in the exposure than HS.
Transmitter Pro and Skyport Plus HS? What is the difference?
There is no difference; both names refer to the same product.
Skyport Plus HS is the Transmitter Pro‘s previous name and is no longer used.
Starting from firmware 2.1, bringing TTL compatibility with compatible units, the Skyport Plus HS became Transmitter Pro.
Impossible to go higher than 1/200s shutter speed
Hi-Sync or HSS mode is detected automatically with compatible units.
However, some cameras need a specific setup to be able to engage Hi-Sync or HSS:
How to setup hi-sync / hss mode.
- Always check if you have the latest firmware installed.
- If you use higher shutter speeds 1/400s and more, you should see a little “HS” symbol in the upper bar of the Transmitter Pro; this indicates that hi-sync is active.
- Try different shutter speeds.
- A decent grading over the image is unavoidable; this is the relation between camera chip size and the flash duration of the unit.
- Try to use lower flash power settings. Hi-Sync requires a longer flash duration.
- On the Transmitter Pro, you find the ODS settings. Try to play with this setting to shift the exposure window to the best possible sync result.
What unit is TTL compatible?
The Elinchrom ONE/THREE/FIVE, the ELB 500 TTL, and the ELC 125/500 are compatible with TTL along with the Transmitter Pro.
For more information, please check the compatibility chart.

Eintritt in eine neue Welt voller Möglichkeiten mit dem Elinchrom Transmitter Pro
Man stelle sich vor, alle gewünschten Features wären in einem einzigen Transmitter vereint.
Mit dem Elinchrom Transmitter Pro werden Träume wahr: Du kannst im automatischen TTL-Modus (Through the Lens) arbeiten, oder je nach Blitzgerät automatisch mit High Speed Sync oder Hi-Sync arbeiten . Gewährleistet ist eine reibungslose Synchronisation bei Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 1/8000 s. Was außerdem ganz unkompliziert funktioniert: Bewegungen einfrieren, das Umgebungslicht abdunkeln und überblitzen oder eine größere Blendenöffnung wählen. Der Elinchrom Transmitter Pro ist weitaus mehr als ein Blitzauslöser: Er ist der Schlüssel zu einer ganz neuen Welt.
Wie wär‘s mit mehr Speed?
Nach dem raschen Setup einfach die Blitzeinstellungen in Echtzeit auf den LCD-Bildschirm laden: Dann hast du in einem Umkreis von 200m alles selbst in der Hand. Mit dem Elinchrom Transmitter Pro triffst du immer ins Schwarze.
Immer im Takt
Synchronisiere alle kompatiblen Elinchrom-Blitzgeräte bei bis zu 1/8000 s – als Gruppe oder einzeln anzusteuern. Nutze die ODS-Einstellungen maximal aus, um die Synchronisierung für Hi-Sync oder HSS bedarfsgerecht anzupassen. So entstehen unter sämtlichen Bedingungen einwandfreie Resultate.
Nutze deine Optionen
Wähle eine größere Blendenöffnung, friere Bewegungen ein, dunkle Hintergründe ab und überblende die Sonne – und das alles aus einer Entfernung, die früher unmöglich gewesen wäre. Der Elinchrom Transmitter Pro bietet neue Perspektiven.
Die Entdeckungsreise geht weiter
Der mit allen gängigen Kameramarken kompatible Elinchrom Transmitter Pro wird mit zwei herkömmlichen AA-Batterien betrieben. Diese lassen sich leicht wechseln, sodass du dich sofort wieder der Kamera widmen kannst.

How to setup hi-sync / hss mode.
What is HSS, Hi-Sync or HS?
HSS and Hi-Sync allow you to achieve high shutter speed.
- Hi-Sync (HS) is an Elinchrom technology that is similar to HyperSync from PocketWizard but is much easier to use and produces better results.
- High Speed Sync (HSS), on the other hand, in general, is a less powerful tool.
But, with ELB 500 TTL, ELC, and Elinchrom ONE/FIVE, 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.
What unit is HSS compatible?
Please check the compatibility chart to know what unit is HSS compatible.
Transmitter Pro and Skyport Plus HS? What is the difference?
There is no difference; both names refer to the same product.
