Very nerdy but I like it. Thanks. I have the older (up-down) Skyport stuff currently, but this is something to try in the future. I'm a cheapskate, but a HUGE fan of used Elinchrom gear.
Thanks Johnny, just what I was looking for. Thanks to you I can now buy a Godox speed light with confidence for use with my sky port plus pro trigger and pro receiver. I only have to select which godox speedlight suites my needs. It’ll mainly be used in studio but not exclusively, I will need a powerful speedlight to freeze action too. Lighting ey, a real minefield, but fun and I love its challenges for the rewards it can bring to one’s photography. Thanks again, great video. 👏
Thank you! It’s definitely an adventure and equipment keeps changing almost monthly nowadays. The AD200 Pro is not quite a speed light, but the closest I’ve found to a do everything small light. And with the bulb head it works great in a soft box in the studio, or on location.
Hello Ian, I have a quick question: how do I connect my elinchrom Transmitter Pro and Transmitter Plus receiver? If you could reply in comments or make a video it would be super helpful. Thanks
Hi Ian can I ask you question, I have a two Neo 2’s. I’ve just shot a model at her home and I never feel the lighting is good. I’ve been thinking about investing ia Godox DP600 III because of the attachments you can attach to them. I own a EL Skyport. So question is would the EL Skyport work with the Godox DP600 III ? Thanks Adam
Hi Adam, Happy Holidays! The simple answer is no, the Elinchrom Skyport won't directly work with the Godox flash. If you want to use the Godox alongside the Neo lights with your Skyport transmitter you would also need to purchase an Elinchrom Receiver Plus and plug that into the Godox. That would allow the Skyport transmitter to trigger all your lights simultaneously. Does that help?
Using a Nikon D850. For High Speed sync using the EL Skyport Pro, do I need to do any set up in the sky port after selecting the Auto FP in the Nikon Menu? My first foray into HSS...
I can’t speak specifically to Nikon at the moment as I don’t have one, however theoretically it shouldn’t be any different. Start with the AD200 on full power to get maximum flash duration, and play with the ODS offset if it’s not perfect. Then go from there. Please let me know how it works!
Hi, I wanted to ask you if it is true that the Elinchrom skyport transmitter plus hs can also control a Godox monolight and not necessarily an Elinchrom monolight, did I understand correctly from your tutorial? Thank you in advance.
Hi Giovanni, thank you for your question and I apologize for the delay. I bought a house recently and have spent very little time online. In answer to your question, the Elinchrom transmitter can’t “control” the Godox lights, but in combination with a Elinchrom receiver it can trigger them. So if you already have an Elinchrom set up and want to add another non-Elinchrom light this will work. Does that help?
Thank you , that was helpful ..what about motorsport rally , 4x4 or any kind of motorsport is there any recommendation .i have AD200 pro and Vi codox with Godox XProN TTL Wireless Flash Trigger.
I’m sorry Ramez, I didn’t see your comment. I’ve never shot motorsports with strobe, but I don’t imagine it’s much different than any other sport except the subject is moving faster, and is also perhaps a little bigger. With Rally a small flash like the Ad200 Pro is probably best used to put some light on the drivers face instead of trying to light the entire car, that’s best done with a larger light.
Thanks - I’m really struggling with my Transmitter Pro. The manual is not easy to follow. I just want to shoot at 1/1000 sec with y D-lite 4 on HS but it’s hit or miss.
I haven’t used the D-Lite 4 personally. Does it show up on your Transmitter screen as a D-Lite 4? There can also be issues with camera and lens compatibility, I can’t use Sony with an off brand manual lens and my Skyport Pro HS. What are the issues you’re having when you say it’s hit or miss?
Not directly. You could use it to trigger the V1 via an Elinchrom EL Skyport receiver and a 2.5mm sync cable, and I'm pretty sure it will work with Hi-Sync this way, however I haven't personally tried the V1. The reason you would do this is so you could use your V1 with your Elinchrom lights and have them all trigger at the same time. You would have to manually adjust the V1 or use the Godox remote to adjust the power. Does that help?
wery interesting. well i have a canon r5 and 5d2 with godox flashpoint xplore 600 and a trigger xpro godox, when i use my old 5d2 i can shot in ttl and over hss easily like 1/500, no problrms at all, with my r5 , nothing works,, the flash became crazy. i think i flashes alwasis at full power.
Hi Dario! I don't shoot Canon but I did a quick search online and it seems to be a common problem. Most people with the problem say it is only when using TTL and HSS together with the R5 and the Godox XPro Trigger. There were some issues early on with Sony cameras and electronic shutter, I'm not sure if this effects the Canon R5 or not, but maybe try shooting with the electronic shutter turned off and see if that works? If it does please reply and let me know.
@@IanHylandsPhotography well I did some experiments today with the mode "electonjs first curtain" the only way if you shot at 1 320, I mean in hss plus ttl, is to set ttl at - 2.3 and the pics is quite acceptable. But you hate to fix it in post. But with this escamotage you can shot sports players that are in différent distance from flash.

Good job! This is what we need. Not another celebrity selling lightroom presets...
Thanks, I'm with you on that one! I don't even use Lightroom presets so that will never be an issue.
You actually saved my life! lol. Well my afternoon any way...
Thank you much ,very helpful ,im an Elinchrom user and last week i bought a Godox AD200 👍🏽
You're welcome! I'm happy to be able to help!
your awesome ... thank you

@@IanHylandsPhotography thanks for your reply. I’ve finally worked it out .
this elinchrom receiver work for Godox ad200pro?
Sorry not sure how I missed this question. A little late now, but yes, the Elinchrom Receiver Plus will work with the Godox AD200Pro
I have the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus HS for Sony. Is it compatible with the Godox V1 for Sony??
Not directly.
