Elinchrom Skyport Puts Control in Remote Triggering


Elinchrom Skyport Puts Control in Remote Triggering "The Elinchrom Skyport provides wireless triggering of any pc-corded flash and complete wireless control of Elinchrom RX units. Even non-Elinchrom strobes can be made to perform some new tricks, when used with the computer-controlled modules.

The Skyport is a new, miniaturized, ultra secure, high speed data transmission system providing hand held or computer wireless control of all Elinchrom RX power units. By connecting your camera, flash, or even your computer to the various modules, you can change what features are available. You can select from 4 basic modules: Transmitter, Universal Receiver, RX Receiver, Transceiver RX USB.

The Transceiver RX USB plugs into your computer’s USB port and can control all the modules in the system. The included software lets you store various configurations along with a diagram of the shooting layout."

Wow, nice. One method lets you ru nit from the trigger on cam and another lets you run the whole show from your computer with a USB dongle. It's around $200 for the kit with no lights. Not bad.
