I received this transmitter in a Elinchrom kit. It does not fit on the hotshoe of my Nikon D810, making the Skyport system in general useless to my set up.

I lost my previous transmitter a few weeks ago and needed a replacement asap. I liked that this model had added security and a status led. Although I do appreciate the lightweight structure I was concerned about durability and the screw lock that others have complained about it. I'm pretty careful with my equipment but I would hate for the screw to break and I lost my transmitter again.

I use this trigger with the new BRX500 strobes. Wow, out of the box, I was able to work them flawlessly.

Once you connect it to your camera hotshoe, pay close attention because my hotshoe screw broke in half.

Using the Elinchrom Skyport SPEED Transmitter you can control basic functions of Elinchrom units such as the BXRI 250/500, Ranger Quadra and D-Lite-it with the built-in ELS Receiver and Elinchrom RX units to which a Transceiver RX (not included) is attached. To control all RX functions of Style RX, Ranger RX, Ranger Quadra RX (only Ranger Quadra RX with serial numbers from 4001 onwards) and Digital RX from a computer, the USB Transceiver RX 19354/19348 (not included) and the latest EL Skyport software (not included) are required. With this software, additional features are available such as Strobing, Counter and more.
The Skyport remote control system works at distances up to 196' (60 m) indoors; up to 393' (120 m) outdoors and up to 1/250s shutter speed. It can control flashes in 4 selectable workgroups and there are 8 frequency channels. With 40-bit security, you get interference-free operation.
The Transmitter synchronizes remote flash units when each is fitted with either a "Universal" receiver (not included) that fits all flash brands or the Transceiver RX (not included) fitting Style RX, Digital RX and Ranger RX units or units with EL-Skyport Transceiver built-in (BXRi 250/500 Ranger Quadra AS). The RX Transceiver also provides control over the power and modeling lamp of all Elinchrom RX flash units, directly from the Skyport Transmitter Speed. This transmitter uses a 3V lithium battery (CR2430).
