Overview

The Elinchrom EL-Skyport Receiver Plus is a wireless flash receiver designed to integrate third-party flash units into the EL-Skyport triggering ecosystem. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band, it provides reliable, interference-resistant communication between an EL-Skyport transmitter on your camera and any flash equipped with a standard sync connection. The 200-meter maximum range makes it suitable for large studio spaces, event venues, and outdoor shoots where distance between camera and lights is a factor.

With 16 frequency channels and 4 groups available on each channel, the Receiver Plus gives photographers granular control over which lights fire and when, making complex multi-light setups manageable. The receiver attaches to a flash unit's sync port and awaits a signal from its paired transmitter. While it handles triggering reliably, power adjustments must still be made manually at each flash head, so photographers who need remote power control will want to consider that limitation. For those looking to add wireless triggering capability to existing non-Elinchrom flash gear at a reasonable cost, the Receiver Plus remains a well-proven option.
