Elinchrom ELB 500 TTL Dual To Go is a portable off-camera flash kit built for photographers who need speed, flexibility and reliable control on location. With two independently controlled flash heads and full asymmetry, it gives you greater freedom to shape light with precision. TTL helps you get started faster, HSS expands your creative options in bright conditions, and manual control is always there when you want to fine-tune every detail.

Faster control with Elinchrom Bridge and the Elinchrom app
Manage your lighting setup directly from your mobile device and make adjustments without breaking your flow. The Elinchrom app helps you work faster with both simple and more advanced setups, while Elinchrom Bridge connects compatible units to your device for quick and direct control on set.

Confident results from the first frame
Power with HSS
With 500 Ws, the ELB 500 TTL gives you the output needed to work confidently in strong ambient light. Paired with the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro, High Speed Sync allows you to shoot at up to 1/8000 s. Freeze motion, control daylight more effectively or open up your aperture for a shallower depth of field. It is a practical way to keep control when conditions change quickly.
Portable power, built for demanding shoots

Freedom to work where the image takes you
The ELB 500 TTL combines portable design with dependable performance. It delivers up to 400 full-power flashes on a single charge, giving you the consistency needed for longer location sessions. Use Action mode to freeze movement, switch to HSS when you need more flexibility in bright light, rely on battery power outdoors or connect to mains power in the studio with Active Charge. It is built to support the way modern photographers work.
“The ELB 500 TTL gives me the freedom to truly connect with my subject”
Brett Florens

Light quality that holds up under pressure
The ELB 500 TTL delivers substantially more power than an on-camera flash while maintaining the consistency and control needed for refined results. Combined with Elinchrom light shapers, it helps you create clean, even light across a wide range of setups. Reliable colour and output consistency also make post-production easier, especially when you need a dependable result across an entire shoot.
Stay focused on the image

Flexible enough for different ways of shooting
The ELB 500 TTL is designed for photographers who move between portraits, editorial work, commercial shoots and content creation. With two independently controlled heads, it supports a broader range of lighting setups without adding unnecessary complexity. TTL gives you a fast starting point, while manual mode gives you full control when precision matters most.

A smoother workflow from setup to final frame
TTL and HSS make the ELB 500 TTL quicker to set up and easier to use in changing conditions. Instead of spending valuable time chasing exposure, you can work faster and stay focused on directing, composing and capturing the shot. It is a system designed to reduce friction and help you maintain momentum throughout the shoot.
