An excellent receiver/transmitter set at a great price compared to the more expensive Pocket wizard. this set has been quiet reliable, works on 2xAA batteries. the Hotshoe is a great plus when using with speedlight! i had no issues with the set. keep in mind there is no TTL transmission but shooting all manual gives more freedom and control.

question

Can this be used to fire a Rotolight Neo 2 from a fuji XT2?
Asked by: Andrew B.
While the kit you list above would work, do note that the Rotolight NEO 2 LED Light has a built-in Elinchrom Skyport receiver inside the unit. As such, you would not need the receiver included in the above kit. You could just purchase the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus, B&H # ELSTP, and trigger the built-in Skyport receiver inside the Rotolight NEO 2 LED Light. Unfortunately, you would not have High-Speed Sync (HSS) compatibility with the Rotolight NEO 2, as you need a dedicated Skyport Plus HS transmitter for HSS usage, and Elinchrom does not have a Skyport Plus HS transmitter for Fujifilm cameras.

question

Could this be used with Alienbees if I were to use the Skyport transmitter? I have a set of bee's and really would like to utilize HSS/HS other than my speedlights.
Asked by: Ben S.
You would need a miniphone-to-miniphone cable, such as the PocketWizard MM1 Miniphone to Miniphone Cable -12 , B&H # WICMM16, to connect the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Plus Set to your AlienBees monolights. However, do note that this will not add High Speed Sync (HSS) or Hi-Sync (HS) capabilities to an AlienBees monolight. While you will be able to trigger your lights wirelessly, you will not be able to adjust the flash output power, and you will not have HSS or HS capabilities as these features are not built into the AlienBees light fixture.

question

Can it fire a Nikon flash from a Lumix gh-3?
Asked by: Anonymous
With the exception of the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash, yes, the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Plus Set should trigger a Nikon flash when the flash is set to full manual mode and the flash output power it set manually. With the output set manually, it should be able to be triggered using the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus connected to the hot shoe on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera.

My Dynalite pack has an integrated pocketwizard ...

My Dynalite pack has an integrated pocketwizard receiver. Will the Elinchrom transmitter talk to the pack without needing to plug in the receiver?
Asked by: Steven
You would need to get a PocketWizard to use with that packs built in receiver. You could use an Elinchrom transmitter but you will need to plug in a receiver.
