“The fact that it is so powerful even though it is so small seems almost too good to be true”
Therese Asplund





Power with HSS
Darken or outshine the ambient light or use a wider aperture: the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro gives you access to HSS to seamlessly synchronize at speeds up to 1/8000s.
Be prepared
Shoot in TTL to speed up your workflow and take control with Manual Lock without losing your exposure settings to make quick adjustments and explore new creative effects.
Just right
Weighing only 1.6kg (3.6 lbs) the THREE feels just right. The tilt head with a 7-8 mm umbrella mount is removable, making the THREE even easier to pack.

Multipurpose
Equipped with a bright and high quality bi-colour continuous LED light, the THREE delivers 90 minutes of enhanced video capability.

Your choice of light shapers
The Elinchrom THREE includes the Elinchrom-Profoto adapter so you can use your existing Elinchrom light shapers. The Elinchrom THREE is also compatible with most Profoto bayonet light shapers, greatly expanding your selection of available light shaping tools.

Take it easy
Intuitive, clever, and touch screen interface designed to provide the most efficient user experience and quick set up times.
Get set for your next adventure.
