Overview

The Elinchrom Skyport Transmitter Pro (EL19367) is a Nikon-compatible wireless flash control transmitter that operates across 20 channels and 4 groups, with an integrated LCD providing two-way Visual Feedback Interface control. The "two-way" designation is the critical functional distinction: rather than simply triggering flashes blind, this transmitter receives power confirmation data back from compatible Elinchrom units, displaying the actual power level of every light on its screen. Power levels and modeling lamp settings can be adjusted from the transmitter in real time. The Hi-Sync implementation extends usable shutter speeds to 1/8000s using a single long-duration flash pulse rather than the rapid multi-pulse method of traditional HSS, preserving more effective output power at high sync speeds — a measurable advantage when the goal is overpowering bright ambient light at wide apertures.

This transmitter is purpose-built for photographers who work regularly with Elinchrom's BRX, D-Lite RX, ELC Pro HD, and ELB series lights, and who value the ability to make exposure adjustments from the shooting position rather than walking to each head between setups. Wedding photographers shooting outdoor ceremonies in direct sunlight, editorial photographers working fast-paced location setups with multiple lights, and portrait photographers managing multi-head studio configurations are the natural users. The TTL-with-manual-lock workflow on the ELB 500 TTL allows quick metered starting points that can be refined into repeatable manual settings — a hybrid approach that combines the speed of automatic exposure with the consistency of manual control. The unit's 5-year pedigree of Elinchrom backward compatibility also makes it a viable investment for photographers with existing legacy Elinchrom hardware, provided they add the corresponding RX transceiver modules.

Key Features

Two Way Visual Feedback Interface: The large LCD display of the Skyport HS features two-way control via a Visual Feedback Interface that lets you see the exact power of every light in your setup right on the transmitter. Users can control each light's power level and modeling lamp setting directly from the Skyport transmitter or on the strobe itself, which instantly shows the updated power settings.

" Hi-Sync Technology: Go beyond the X-Sync of your camera. Photographers can simply switch to Hi-Sync mode and access sync speeds up to 1/8000s to freeze motion, overpower the sun, darken backgrounds, or use a wider aperture."

TTL and Manual Lock: When paired with the ELB 500 TTL users can enjoy beautiful exposures right from the first shot thanks to TTL and if desired, quickly switch to manual to take full control of the unit without losing exposure settings.

Impressive Wireless Range: The Skyport Transmitter Pro has 20 channels and 4 groups and a wireless range of 656' outdoors and 196' indoors.

Compatibility: Three previous generations of flash units including the EL- Skyport Transceiver RX module for Style RX, Digital RX, and Ranger RX systems and the integrated EL-Skyport modules for the BRX, D-Lite RX, ELC Pro HD, and ELB series.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Hi-Sync capability extends usable sync speed to 1/8000s while preserving more strobe output power than conventional HSS, a measurable advantage when shooting in bright outdoor conditions.
  • Two-way Visual Feedback Interface on the LCD lets you confirm and adjust the actual power level of every light in your setup without walking the set — a real time-saver in multi-light configurations.
  • 20 channels and 4 groups provide sufficient granularity to organize complex multi-light setups with independent control over each group.
  • TTL-to-manual lock on the ELB 500 TTL lets you start with metered exposures and lock in precise manual control without losing your established settings.
  • 656-foot outdoor wireless range makes it practical for large natural-light-augmented location setups where the photographer may be significantly distant from the strobes.

👎 Cons

  • Full TTL functionality is limited to the ELB 500 TTL — photographers using other Elinchrom units must operate in manual mode, reducing the TTL investment's value in mixed kit scenarios.
  • Nikon-specific protocol means this unit is not transferable if you switch camera systems — a new transmitter purchase is required for Canon, Sony, or other mounts.
  • Indoor wireless range drops to 196 feet, which, while practically sufficient for studio use, reflects meaningful signal degradation through walls versus the outdoor spec.
  • The two-way control and LCD interface add complexity to what is otherwise a triggering device — the learning curve for navigating groups and channels is steeper than simpler single-channel triggers.
  • Legacy compatibility requires EL-Skyport Transceiver RX add-on modules for older Style RX, Digital RX, and Ranger RX units, adding cost if you are expanding backward into an existing older Elinchrom system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the EL19367 is the Nikon-specific version of the Skyport Transmitter Pro. It is designed to communicate TTL exposure data and Hi-Sync triggering signals using Nikon's proprietary hot shoe protocol. It will mount on other cameras with a standard hot shoe but will only deliver full TTL and Hi-Sync functionality with Nikon bodies. Canon, Sony, and other mount users need the corresponding camera-specific version.
Hi-Sync is Elinchrom's implementation of extended sync that allows shutter speeds up to 1/8000s with compatible strobes. Unlike HSS, which pulses the flash rapidly at reduced power to match the moving shutter curtain, Hi-Sync uses a single long-duration flash pulse timed to the shutter's full travel. The practical result is that Hi-Sync retains more of the strobe's full power output at high sync speeds compared to HSS, which is critical when trying to overpower bright ambient light.
Compatibility covers three previous generations of Elinchrom flash units via the EL-Skyport Transceiver RX module (for Style RX, Digital RX, and Ranger RX systems) and natively with integrated EL-Skyport modules found in the BRX, D-Lite RX, ELC Pro HD, and ELB series. Full TTL functionality requires the ELB 500 TTL specifically.
The Skyport Transmitter Pro supports 20 channels and 4 groups, meaning you can organize lights into up to four independently controlled groups and address each one separately from the transmitter LCD. Per-light power level and modeling lamp settings are adjustable from the transmitter without approaching the strobe.
Rated at 656 feet outdoors and 196 feet indoors. Indoors, walls and RF interference from other wireless devices reduce range significantly. In studio environments, 196 feet exceeds any practical shooting distance; the outdoor figure is relevant for large natural-light-augmented location setups.
