p.1 #6 · p.1 #6 · Strobe triggering systems/options - Elinchrom problem | |
Had Skyport when used Elinchrom - had same concerns re: durability, fiddly switch work, etc.
Everyone has varied experiences, but I grew to distrust & hate mine - lots of misfires - some for no apparent reason, some from (apparent) poor contact with hot shoe (multiple cameras), broken switches, etc. Also HATED the fact used CR batteries or were rechargeable only. Everything else aside, I'd never again use ANY system that didn't use commonly available A2 or A3 batteries.
Moved to PW Plus IIs when moved to Profoto. Very bulky but very reliable and durable. Long range (in testing only) could be iffy due to interference, but never an issue 99% of time for what I do. Long lasting on A2 batteries and nice hot shoe lock.
When started adding Profoto AiR-capable units to kit locker, I migrated to AiR Transceivers and love them. Small but nice ergonomics w/robust switches, dead-nuts reliable and last a long-lasting on any A3 batteries . No hot shoe lock, but very firm mount - never had issues with loose contacts, etc.
