Elinchrom ELB 500 TTL

Elinchrom has entered the TTL market with the launch of the ELB 500 TTL battery-powered pack. With dimensions of 6.4 x 7.12 x 3.6 inches and a weight of only 5.5 pounds when paired with its separately purchased battery, the ELB 500 is perfectly suited for photographers on the go, particularly those engaged in fashion, portrait, or editorial photography. By utilizing an optional Elinchrom Skyport Pro or the Phottix Odin II transmitter, the ELB 500 TTL significantly minimizes setup time, facilitating a quicker transition from concept to execution by leveraging the camera's flash exposure system. The device offers asymmetrical power distribution across 7 stops to two ELB flash heads, enabling TTL power adjustments at distances ranging from 328 to 656 feet, depending on the transmitter employed. Additionally, a Manual Lock mode is available, allowing users to establish a TTL initial exposure "lock" before switching to manual mode for precise exposure adjustments.

The ELB 500 TTL delivers approximately ten times the power of a standard speedlite while incorporating features typically found in high-end on-camera flashes. Notably, it is compatible with High Speed Sync, enabling operation at shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 of a second, which is beneficial for managing background brightness, freezing motion, or utilizing wide lens apertures.

These sophisticated exposure capabilities are complemented by impressive performance specifications. The recycling time is remarkably quick, ranging from 0.05 to 2 seconds, and the flash duration in Normal mode is 1/3400 of a second. An Action mode is also available, providing flash durations as brief as 1/20,000 of a second, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects such as water splashes.

The ELB 500 is powered by a separately sold removable lithium-ion battery, which offers up to 400 full-power flashes and an extraordinary 28,000 minimum-power flashes on a single charge. Additional convenience features include Active Charging, which permits battery charging during use with AC power, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow. The combination of power, performance, and TTL exposure control positions the ELB 500 TTL as a formidable option in its category.

Elinchrom Li-Ion Battery for ELB 500 TTL

The Elinchrom Battery Charger for the ELB 400 and ELB 500 TTL models is capable of accepting an input voltage range of 100-240 VAC to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack. This charger is equipped with an Active Charging function, enabling users to connect and charge the battery while simultaneously utilizing AC power in a studio environment. Achieving an 80% charge requires approximately 50 minutes, whereas a full charge is completed in about 100 minutes.
