Elinchrom FIVE Overview

Elinchrom has put together this FIVE 2-Monolight Dual Kit for photographers who want to take a system with a battery power option on the road. The kit contains two FIVE monolights with removable batteries, each with a charger and a 6.3" Wide Reflector. A storage bag is included for transport.

The 522Ws FIVE recycles in 1.6 seconds at full power and has a removal lithium-ion battery that will give you 450 flashes at full power and an impressive 14,600 flashes at minimum power, while it charges to 80% in 70 minutes and 100% in 95 minutes. The head's 26W bi-color LED modeling light puts negligible strain on the battery and even has a CRI of 91 to 94.

Elinchrom FIVE Reviews

Dead on arrival

By Richard
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-21

Well, I own two more of these units I’ve had for probably a couple years now and they have worked fine. About two weeks ago I ordered one more unit and it would turn on and the menu showed up and I could navigate the menu but there was no flash at all. I used the sky port … no flash … I used the fat release button on the back of the unit … no flash. So I sent to Elinchrom in their facility in NY and am waiting for a new unit. I called BH and they said they could send me a new unit (exchange) but I had already sent it to Elinchrom. So we shall see what happens … guessing it was a bad flash tube?

Awesome Light

I owned (2) Elinchrom One lights but was looking for something with just a little more power when needed. The FIVE more than fits the bill. It provides plenty of power and integrates in to my current system perfectly. It's a bit heaver than the One but it is built like a tank. This will be a great light for my location or studio work.

Does the Elinchrom 5 accept pocket wizards or is it only triggered by the wireless sky port ?
Asked by: Steve
The Elinchrom FIVE 2-Monolight Dual Kit BH #EL209612 has a 3.5mm sync port and can be used with Pocketwizards. However when using the 3.5mm sync port you will only get a manual sync. TTL and HSS require the use of a Skyport transmitter.

does the bracket/base accept umbrellas? (I don't see one in the photos) if so-- is it 7mm or 8mm?
Asked by: joe
This will support both 7mm and 8mm shafts. Generally Elinchrom puts one in the center of the light to accept a 7mm rod. And near the base where it connects to a stand a port that accepts 8mm.

How does this compare to Profoto B10X and B10X Plus?
Asked by: Anonymous
One very important thing to consider is that the Elinchrom Five has an exposed bulb as were the Profoto monolight bulbs are recessed. In my opinion an exposed bulb is better at filling modifiers more completely thus more preferable.
