FAQs

What does this adapter do?

This adapter converts a standard sync cord's PC female connector to a 3.5mm sync plug, allowing it to connect to Elinchrom Skyport universal receivers.

What equipment do I need for this adapter to work?

You will need a standard sync cord with a PC male connector and a 3.5mm male connector, an Elinchrom Skyport universal receiver, and a camera with a sync terminal (if connecting directly to camera).

Can I use this with other brand receivers?

This adapter is specifically designed for Elinchrom Skyport universal receivers. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

Does this adapter transmit TTL information?

No, this adapter is for sync signal transmission only and does not support TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering.

How do I connect my camera to the flash using this adapter?

You connect your sync cord to the adapter, and then the adapter to the Skyport receiver. The receiver is then connected to your flash. Your camera's sync signal triggers the flash via this chain.

Is the sync cord included with this adapter?

No, the sync cord is not included with the Elinchrom 11126 adapter. This is a separate accessory.

What is the length of the sync cord that can be used?

The adapter itself does not dictate the length of the sync cord; it is compatible with standard sync cords of various lengths.

Troubleshooting

Flash not firing

Ensure the sync cord is securely connected to both the camera (or PC adapter on camera) and the Elinchrom 11126 adapter. Verify the Elinchrom Skyport receiver is properly paired with the transmitter and has sufficient battery power. Test the sync cord without the adapter to rule out a faulty cord.

Intermittent firing

Check for any debris in the 3.5mm or PC connectors. Ensure the adapter and sync cord are not damaged. Try a different sync cord if possible.

Adapter not fitting

Confirm that you are using a standard PC sync cord connector and an Elinchrom Skyport universal receiver. The adapter is designed for specific connector types.
