FAQs
Is the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro X compatible with Canon cameras?
No, the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro X is specifically designed for Nikon camera systems.
What is the maximum range of the transmitter?
The effective range depends on environmental factors, but the 2.4 GHz system generally provides reliable communication over significant distances, typically sufficient for most studio and on-location shoots.
Can I control modelling lamps with this transmitter?
Yes, the Transmitter Pro X allows you to control the modelling lamps on compatible Elinchrom lights directly from the camera position.
How many lights can I control simultaneously?
You can control lights across four different groups, allowing for management of multiple individual lights or sets of lights simultaneously.
What is the benefit of using HSS with this transmitter?
HSS (High-Speed Sync) allows you to use shutter speeds faster than your camera's native sync speed, enabling you to use wider apertures for shallow depth of field or to freeze fast action, even with flash illumination.
Do I need separate receivers for my Elinchrom lights?
Yes, your Elinchrom lights need to be equipped with compatible Elinchrom Skyport receivers to communicate with the Transmitter Pro X.
How do I update the firmware on the Transmitter Pro X?
Firmware updates are typically performed via a computer connection. Please refer to the official Elinchrom website for the latest firmware and update instructions.
Troubleshooting
Transmitter not firing flashes
Check that the transmitter and receivers are set to the same channel and group. Ensure the transmitter is securely attached to the camera's hot shoe and that the Elinchrom lights are powered on and have sufficient battery/power. Verify HSS/Hi-Sync settings are appropriate for your camera and desired shutter speed.
Colour display is dim or unreadable
Adjust the display brightness settings via the transmitter's menu. Ensure the screen is clean and free from smudges.
Intermittent connection
Ensure there are no major sources of radio interference nearby. Try changing to a different channel. Check for firmware updates for both the transmitter and your Elinchrom lights.
HSS/Hi-Sync not functioning correctly
Confirm your camera body supports HSS/Hi-Sync with Elinchrom triggers. Ensure your selected shutter speed and aperture are within the compatible range for the trigger and lights. Check that the transmitter is set to the correct HSS or Hi-Sync mode.
