In this video, I’m going to go over the current Elinchrom flash lineup. I'll go over the highlights of each one and then compare and contrast them and make recomendations based on different use cases.

I just want to start off with my disclosures. Elinchrom did provide me with some of the lights that you see in front of you today over the last few years. They didn’t ask me to make this video today. They don’t have any editorial control over this video today. They’re not paying me to make this video. I’m actually making it because my friend asked me to do it after the Elinchrom THREE came out a few weeks ago because he was wondering which flash he should get and why you would choose one over the other.

Currently there are 9 flashies within the Elinchrom line up. I am going to talk about all of them. Two of the lights, the D-Lights, I’ve never owned before, but we’re going talk about them then we will talk about the 6 lights which I think are at the core of the system and then the ELB 500, which I used to own.

So I’ll be giving you insights about the lights, I will go over the specs, then I’m going to talk about how they differ and why you might choose one over the other.
