Camera-datzender Elinchrom 19371

The Elinchrom Camera Data Transmitter (model 19371) is a compact wireless transmitter that provides two-way control and visual feedback for compatible Elinchrom flash units. Its large LCD display shows the exact power settings for up to 10 lights, and the transmitter enables direct control of modelling lamps and flash power from the camera. The unit uses two AA batteries and attaches securely to the camera hotshoe with a quick-lock mechanism. It supports line-of-sight range up to 200 m (656 ft) outdoors and shorter ranges indoors.

Advantages

The transmitter’s large LCD delivers precise, real-time visual feedback of power and modelling lamp settings for each linked flash unit. Hi-Sync mode extends sync speeds up to 1/8000s and, with Over Drive Sync (ODS), allows fine tuning of the trigger signal to optimise exposure at high shutter speeds and gain up to two additional stops. The device offers 20 frequency channels usable in Normal or Speed mode, backward compatibility with earlier EL-Skyport generations, and a quick-lock hotshoe mount for a secure fit.

Suitable for

• Studio photographers using multiple Elinchrom flash units
• Outdoor photographers needing long-range wireless control (up to 200 m)
• High-speed flash photography requiring sync speeds beyond camera X-Sync
• Portrait and fashion shoots where remote power adjustment and modelling lamp control are needed

How to use

Attach the transmitter to the camera hotshoe and lock it with the quick-lock mechanism. Insert two AA batteries and switch the unit on. Use the large LCD and controls on the transmitter to assign lights, set groups, and adjust modelling lamp and flash power for each connected Elinchrom unit. To use high-speed sync, set the transmitter to Hi-Sync mode and, if necessary, apply ODS adjustments to optimise exposure at the chosen shutter speed. Confirm channel and group settings match the receiving flash units before shooting.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, check battery levels before a shoot, verify channel and group matching between transmitter and receivers, and test Hi-Sync settings at your intended shutter speeds. Use distances within the specified ranges and avoid large metal obstacles or strong RF interference for best performance.
