Elinchrom EL19371 Skyport Transmitter Plus HS Flash Transmitter

The Elinchrom Skyport Transmitter Plus HS is built for photographers who use light as a primary creative tool — not just a fill source. Its defining capability is Hi-Sync, which enables shutter speeds up to 1/8000s with compatible Elinchrom flash heads. That number translates directly into creative control: shooting a portrait with a 135mm lens at f/1.8 in harsh afternoon light, using a battery strobe to overpower the sun and separate your subject from a washed-out background. For location portrait, fashion, and commercial photographers who work in uncontrolled ambient conditions, this transmitter changes what's possible in a single shot. The separate Normal and Speed Sync channel banks — 20 channels each, 40 total — ensure you can move between sync modes without reconfiguring your channel assignments or encountering interference from nearby systems.

The transmitter's graphic display with green/red backlight (green for Normal, red for Speed Sync mode) gives an immediate visual read on your current operating mode — a small but practical detail when you're moving quickly between setups. The bayonet locking hotshoe is a build quality decision you appreciate in the field when the standard friction-fit of cheaper systems starts to feel insecure. Remote control covers flash power up and down, group addressing, and individual unit targeting, all with automatic feedback confirmation — so you know the Elinchrom head at the back of the set received the command before you fire the next frame. At 200 meters outdoor range, this transmitter gives photographers room to work at genuine location scale.
