Recommended Accessories
Umbrella
Simple and straightforward to use, shallow and deep umbrellas spread soft diffused light over larger surface areas.
Rotalux Softbox
Available in 12 different shapes and sizes, the Elinchrom Rotalux Softbox will quickly become your main light shaper whether you’re in a studio or on location.
Litemotiv Para
Inspired by purists, Litemotives are designed to get it right. With 16 sides in two incredible sizes, these exceptional light shapers don’t miss a detail.
Indirect Litemotiv
Don’t compromise on quality and bring your images to life with the Indirect Litemotiv: the reference for demanding photographers.
Reflector & Grid
Create harder and focused light with more contrast and maximum light output for punchy and crispy images.
Transmitter Pro
TTL, HSS and Hi-Sync all in one. The Elinchrom Transmitter Pro is more than a trigger for flash units, it’s the key to a whole new world of possibilities.
Be prepared
Shoot in TTL to speed up your workflow and take control with Manual Lock without losing your exposure settings to make quick adjustments and explore new creative effects.
Keep cool
You’re the boss. Thanks to Smart Pro-Active Cooling, your ELC 125 and ELC 500 learn your shooting style and adapt their cooling cycles around it.
The low-noise speed-controlled fan and cleverly engineered airflow system can handle the heaviest workloads too.
Create magic
Use the bayonet Quick-Lock System to get direct access to Elinchrom’s best light modifiers. Combined with the ELC’s bright, daylight LED modelling lamp to help pre-visualisation, the potential to evolve your lighting style is endless
Rest assured
ELCs are built to last. Take them on your next adventure, and the next, and the next… Each element is rigorously tested and designed to deliver maximum reliability over an extended lifetime.
