Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum power output of each D-Lite RX 4 head?

Each D-Lite RX 4 head has a maximum power output of 400 Ws (Watt-seconds).

Does the kit include a stand for the softboxes?

The kit includes two light stands, which are used to hold the flash heads and the attached softboxes.

Can I use other softboxes with these flash heads?

Yes, the D-Lite RX 4 heads feature a standard Elinchrom accessory bayonet mount, compatible with a wide range of Elinchrom light modifiers.

How far can the Skyport transmitter trigger the flashes?

The EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus can trigger the flashes up to 200 meters (656 feet) away, assuming clear line of sight.

Do I need a separate receiver for the flash?

No, the Skyport transceiver is built directly into the D-Lite RX 4 flash heads, so no external receiver is needed.

What is the benefit of the proportional modeling lamp?

The proportional modeling lamp adjusts its brightness in relation to the flash power setting. This helps you visualize the intensity and spread of the light you will get from the flash, improving your setup accuracy.

What is included in the 'To Go' kit?

The kit includes two D-Lite RX 4 heads, two stands, a 66cm square softbox, a 56cm octagonal softbox, a translucent deflector, the EL-Skyport Plus Transmitter, sync cables, lamps, and carry bags.

Troubleshooting

Flash not firing

Check that the flash unit is powered on, the sync cable is securely connected (if used), and the Skyport transmitter is correctly paired and powered. Ensure the camera's sync setting is enabled.

Skyport transmitter not connecting

Replace the AA batteries in the transmitter. Ensure the transmitter is within range (200m/656ft) and has a clear line of sight to the flash heads. Try re-pairing the transmitter with the flash units.

Modeling lamp is too bright/dim

Adjust the modeling lamp setting via the flash head controls or the Skyport transmitter. Ensure it is set to proportional mode if you want it to match flash output, or adjust manually.

Flash power inconsistent

Ensure the flash unit has fully recycled after the previous flash. Check that the power settings are adjusted correctly on the flash head or transmitter. Allow the unit to cool if it has been firing continuously for an extended period.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mount the D-Lite RX 4 heads onto the included light stands.
Attach the desired softbox (square or octagonal) to the flash head's accessory bayonet.
Connect the sync cable from the flash head to your camera if not using the Skyport transmitter.

Power on the flash heads and the transmitter.

Compatibility:

The D-Lite RX 4 heads are compatible with the full range of Elinchrom light modifiers that utilize the standard accessory bayonet mount. The EL-Skyport system is compatible with most cameras featuring a standard hot shoe or sync terminal. For smartphone control, ensure you have a compatible iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and download the EL-Skyport App.

Care:

Keep flash heads clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Store the units and accessories in the provided carry bags to protect them from damage during transport and storage.
Ensure the modeling lamps are off when not in use to prolong their lifespan and prevent overheating.
Avoid exposing the units to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
