Hi, I wanted to ask you if it is true that the Elinchrom skyport transmitter plus hs can also control a Godox monolight, it seems strange to me but they tell me yes. How are things really? Thank you in advance.
Giovanni, Elinchrom transmitters are not compatible with Godox monolights. Maybe there is a misunderstanding with the ELB 500 TTL which is compatible with Phottix Odin II transmitters.
is it works with a ranger quadra + S head?? i´m using pocket wizzard tt1&tt5 but I want to try to use this one but i don´t know if the HS will work with my ranger quadra and head S thanks
It works, not as well as with the HS head! You need to be able to delay the firing, personally i have done it with a yongnuo tx controller and receiver for nikon, plugged into the sync socket of the quadra pack! I have no idea if it works with pocket wizards!
Its obviously trying to market the pack and heads which is fine. Have them. However for lighting portraits for fill you do not need a ring flash. You can fill in either with a small flash on camera or with a reflector under the subject and adjust height by moving reflector nearer or further from the face. So save your money and don''t get the ring flash!
+TheHynez How do you like them in the studio? I'd like the flexibility of taking them around with me, but wondering how they perform in a regular studio situation.
Charlie Choiniere Aww they are great! If you are looking for a really shallow depth of field - working with an aperature of 1.4 - 2.8 looks fantastic. Especially if you are going for that "cinematic headshot" or "creative" look :)
TheHynez Nice! Can you get more depth of field with them too? Are you using two lights and one battery to achieve the shallow depth of field.I currently have a 500w/s light and didn't think it would be too much different if I was using one head per battery. Thanks for the info!
+Charlie Choiniere Well you can shoot at any aperture if thats what you're asking and I can shoot up to 8000/s shutter speed. I'm running 2 D-Lite RX-4's with a photogenics battery pack (600 full power flashes per charge - decent recycle time)
Do i also need to attached elichrom receiver on all my flashes? what type EL receiver compatible with Skyport Plus HS. i would use it on my all difference type of flashes ( mostly long duration flash on full power )
Hi Al, other camera systems for the Skyport Plus HS are currently being evaluated for future release. As soon as we have other brands added, we will inform you. Please subscribe to our newsletter to be informed about our latest news. www.elinchrom.com/newsletter/subscribe.html
Since this system does not have TTL, what are the tips and tricks to know what flash power I need to get a good flash exposure?

I want to know when this will work on the Fuji :)
Soon
That would be really great to have it working with the fuji xt2 :) I do miss this so of thing from when I was shooting canon :)
now :)
Hi bross
Can use Elinchrom fx 200 in high shutter speed in canon 5d iii
Please reply me
Do you mean the FRX 200? If so, you can try, but it's not optimized. You can go a little bit higher than 200s, but results are not guaranteed.
Hello Team. Does skyport plus HS support FRX master to high speed sync?
Hi Santosh. You'll be able to use the Skyport HS, trigger and change power but the HS feature will not be compatible with this unit unfortunately.
Elinchrom kind of unfortunate that bought it 3 days before and today I come to know it is not compatible.
hi Santosh, Which heads sold in India are compatible with the el Skyport HS?
is it works with a ranger quadra + S head?? i´m using pocket wizzard tt1&tt5 but I want to try to use this one but i don´t know if the HS will work with my ranger quadra and head S
thanks

Does it Support HS with the Elinchrom Master Rx (Region Specific to India)?
Vineeth Arya hello. Did you find out if FRX master supports high speed sync?
Santosh Kumar with skyport yes but im using yongnuo trigger for hss they do the job
Thanks Vineeth. So to confirm frx 600 and yongnou trigger you are able to do high speed sync. Could you tell me the trigger model.
Santosh Kumar yn 622ntx
Thanks alot Vineeth.

Can't wait for the spring so I can test them outside the studio...stupid Canadian winter :(

Does HyperSync system will not reduce the power of the flash/strobe like HSS did?
No it will not, more info: www.elinchrom.com/learn/hss-hs.html
Do i also need to attached elichrom receiver on all my flashes? what type EL receiver compatible with Skyport Plus HS. i would use it on my all difference type of flashes ( mostly long duration flash on full power )
I will also get an ELB 400 HS for Fuji when they are available!!!
