Everybody’s going cross-platform. The latest to break out of the Nikon & Canon mould is Elinchrom. It’s not just a new trigger, though. All existing Elinchrom HS Transmitters can be updated to the newly renamed “Transmitter Pro” using the new firmware. This update allows for TTL, HSS and Hi-Sync (HS) functionality the new ELB 500 TTL.

The release notes do also update a few things for Nikon and Canon shooters, too.

    • Possibility to display power in F-Stops or Ws.
    • Improved compatibility for Rotolight users.

    • 2 modes available: Manual, compatible with all Elinchrom units, and TTL for the ELB 500 TTL.
    • Swapped position of unit selection and modelling light feature on main dashboard.
    • Improved menu ergonomics; access features in the menu with the wheel and clearer setting selection.
    • Automatic switch to HS mode – the camera’s shutter speed dictates which mode is activated.
    • Possibility to display power in F-Stops or Ws.
    • Improved compatibility with Sony A7RIII and Sony A9.
  • Olympus 2.10
    • 2 modes available: Manual, compatible with all Elinchrom units, and TTL for the ELB 500 TTL.
