Subject: Elinchrom Skyport.
Content: Having used the Ebay El Cheapo wireless system for the past year and on the whole found them pretty good if you don't mind the odd miss or out of sync flash, I have now up graded to the Elinchrom Skyport System. The reason behind the move away from the ebay HK units was made for me, as I was shooting a wedding the week before and was trying out the strobist effect lol, and these ebay units just wouldn't fire, I felt pretty wick as the bride and groom where stand behind the cake for ages lol, but eventually we got a few frames, Knowing that I had the Train Shoot I decided an upgrade was due to be sure I was able to get the shots I wanted, Now I know that the Pocket Wizards are the best that money can buy but they come with a hefty price tag, though if I had the money I would have probably have bought them, though I really don't need to be able to fire off flash units up to 1500 feet away. In the end the choice was easy, Elinchrom Skyport units, the set cost £115 for a transmitter and reciever, comes in a nice wee case, with all the connection you need, so I bought 2 lol, Well they were well and truly tested on Saturday at the Train shoot, they never missed a shot, so if you need a reliable radio system, buy the elinchrom skyport, if you are loaded buy the Pocket Wizard, if you don't mind a few misfires and work mainly in the studio then the Ebay HK units will fit the bill, thats about it, you can see I'm bored LOL tim
