I’ve been into photography since I was a small child, learning from my dad, who was a professional photographer. I didn’t get into studio flash until many years later – nearly 20 years ago, in fact. I did a lot of research before buying my first kit, a set of Elinchrom D-Lite heads, and have never looked back. I’ve tested and reviewed several Elinchrom flash kits since then, ranging from entry-level sets to top-end pro offerings, and have been impressed every time around. The Swiss company has a lot of history, being founded back in 1962, and has always had a reputation for innovation and the highest levels of performance.
A constant theme, as far as I’m concerned, is that Elinchrom gear is always simple and intuitive to use, delivers consistent results of the highest quality, and is absolutely reliable and dependable. Ultimately, I can give my full attention to the creative process of shooting, rather than wrestling with needlessly complicated lighting setups. And the same goes for this transmitter and receiver set. Some of the later D-Lite ‘RX’ and other Elinchrom flash kits have the receiver electronics built into the actual flash heads, and even come complete with the trigger.
