The included transmitter controls the basic functions of the Universal receiver or an RX which has the Transceiver RX attached to it. The Universal receiver integrates with the rest of the EL-Skyport system and - when controlled by the EL-Skyport Software - will accept both triggering and Flash-Delay settings controlled by the computer. The EL-Skyport system has a studio operating range of 164' (50 m) and 394' (120 m) outdoors. Interference free operation is guaranteed with 40 bit security.

I didn't expect a such short live span

"Based on my limited experience, the EL-Skyport is very reliable if the transmitter can be held on the shoe base well.

"Great for action sports pictures. I mainly take BMX and skateboarding photos and these things have been great.
