To complement the launch of the new ELC studio monolights Elinchrom is introducing 4 new accessory kits at attractive price points for anyone looking to embark on a new lighting adventure.

Both mounted quickly and securely to the ELCs, and combined with TTL using the Skyport system, I was able to work through a series of shots in no time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elinchrom loaned me the 125\/500 kit and I immediately thought this would be the perfect lightweight location portrait set-up. I called up an actor friend, Andreas, and we decided to play this out.<\/span> He posed as<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a &#8220;rock star&#8221; and I (the photographer) had just a little time to work with him. A short amount of time and a quick setup was all we had.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/oeifjosierjgosgeirjg0492-3-123042-3r.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/oeifjosierjgosgeirjg0492-3-123042-3r.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/oeifjosierjgosgeirjg0492-3-123042-3r-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/oeifjosierjgosgeirjg0492-3-123042-3r-50x35.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"tn-read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com\/g\/elinchrom-elc-125-500\">Shop Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the Skyport remote, it was easy to get an accurate exposure and then go from normal sync to HSS (High-Speed Sync), allowing me to darken the ambient light coming through the windows for some shots.

And these include some of my favorite features. For starters, when you adjust the power setting, the flash duration is shown. This is was extremely useful when setting up the classic \u201crock star jump shot\u201d with Andreas.<\/span> As<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can see above<\/span>!<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On top of that, when you set your group, you can have the Elinchrom logo change color<\/span>. Thus, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it becomes simple to see with a quick glance what group your units are in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like other Elinchrom lights, the number showing the power is consistent throughout the line. Therefore, a setting of 2 is the same amount of watt-seconds whether you are using a 125ws unit or a 500ws unit. This is great when trying to balance lights.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-62598\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/djvnioerjfnaoiw4jrq290345q02349q023r9aw9-a4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/djvnioerjfnaoiw4jrq290345q02349q023r9aw9-a4.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/djvnioerjfnaoiw4jrq290345q02349q023r9aw9-a4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/djvnioerjfnaoiw4jrq290345q02349q023r9aw9-a4-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Daniel Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes it so special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear that Elinchrom has designed the ELC lights not just to be affordable<\/span>.
