The ELB 500 TTL: The most powerful, portable TTL light ever
Introducing the Elinchrom ELB 500 TTL, an incredibly portable and powerful battery pack combining 500ws of power with a feature set including High Speed Sync, Active Charging, Full Asymmetry with built-in Skyport designed to empower portrait photographers both in studio and on location.
The Speed and Simplicity of TTL
The ELB 500 TTL is ideal for photographers who find themselves in time sensitive shooting environments where the inherent speed of TTL lets them capture images at the speed of life or for those who simply prefer the convenience of TTL. The "Manual Lock" functionality allows photographers to get an initial "lock" on their exposure in TTL and then switch to manual mode to further adjust their exposure as they need or to explore different creative effects.
The Power and Performance of 500ws in an incredibly portable package
The ELB 500 TTL is powerful enough to overpower the sun, delivers 400 full power flashes on a single charge and has a fast recycling time of 2 seconds at max power, ensuring you won't miss an important moment. The ELB 500 head is smaller than speedlites yet delivers 10 times more power. It is lightweight enough to be mounted on a camera bracket or boom arm while on location.
The Versatility of HSS, Asymmetry and Active Charging
High Speed Sync lets photographers freeze motion with incredible sharpness, create a narrow depth of field or darken overly bright backgrounds using a high shutter speed (up to 1/8000sec). With the new ELB 500 TTL, not having to worry about flash sync limitations or the time of day makes for a very liberating creative experience.
• Full asymmetry across two lamp connections provides a broader range of creative control
• Active Charging provides the freedom to charge the battery while actively shooting in studio, making it perfect for an uninterrupted workflow
• The ELB 500 TTL's native Q-Mount (Quadra Mount) is seamlessly compatible with Elinchrom's line of super-portable "Portalite" series of softboxes and can work with any of your favorite full-sized Elinchrom or Profoto light modifiers via an optional adapter
The Convenience and Control of Skyport (and Phottix ODIN II)
The ELB 500TTL features built-in Skyport, Elinchrom's reliable and easy to use wireless system. Existing Skyport Plus HS for Canon and Nikon owners will be able to upgrade their transmitters to work with the ELB 500 TTL via a firmware upgrade with more brands to follow. Via their ongoing technology alliance, the ELB 500 is also compatible with the Phottix ODIN II protocol. This lets a photographer trigger and control virtually any light or combination of lights in their collection with either Elinchrom or Phottix transmitters right from their camera.
The Ease and Intuitiveness of a Well Thought Out User Interface
When the pressure is on to get the shot, no one ever wants to fumble with controls. The large OLED display and intuitive controls of the ELB 500 TTL makes using the pack a pleasure.
The Heritage, Quality and Value of Elinchrom
The ELB 500 TTL is the newest compact flash solution in a long line of innovative and ultra-reliable Elinchrom products that represent a decades-long commitment to crafting the highest quality lighting tools while providing a superb value to their customers.
The Result
The most powerful and portable TTL light ever for portrait photographers looking to take their work to more adventurous places. The ELB 500 TTL represents an optimal feature set for portrait photographers and is ideal for those looking to trade up to a more powerful option to their speedlights, trading over from less full-featured options or searching for the very best value in the category.
