Elinchrom's Best Selling BX Compact Series Adds Two New Models with Built-In Skyport Wireless Remote Control

Elinchrom is proud to present the 250Ri and 500Ri models in its BX line with many new innovative and programmable features. These advancements are meant to enable the photographer the greatest freedom of expression by providing control, power, speed and versatility. The BXRis are so great, they recently won a Hot One Award for "Best Studio Lighting System."

BXRi models include Elinchrom’s Skyport wireless radio system which can adjust the power levels in 1/10th of a stop increments and turn on/off the modeling lights for up to four separate BXRi flash heads. Elinchrom is the only company to provide “Finger Tip Studio Control” at this price point.
