DAMN elinchrom EL-Skyport

So I needed a wireless trigger system for my camera and flash. I dident know that much about this diffrent systems so I thought I go to a camera store and let them tell me a little more about them and recomend a system. They presented me this elinchrom EL-Skyport:
Fine, it was a system that you could add more recivers to later on. Came home and noticed that the cable that should go from the reciver to the flash was not included in the package. They did not say anything about that in the store... It dident have TTL... and the damn thing was broken out of the package. The reciver did not take any charge...
So I went back to the store and told my little story, they looked at me and started asking questions. I said that you are the seller, dont ask me. After a little back and forth (asking the guys in the office) it was ok for me to return it. Doh!

Anyway. I asked again. I need a system to trigger my flash wireless. With TTL and all the cables I need... ? Eh? OK, I would like the PocketWizard ( I had done a little research this time)
They told me that is more expencive. I dont care, I want something that works. Again a little back and forth he came out with this PocketWizard Flex TT5:


























The store guy dident know if all the cables was included. Well, dont look at me!
After I open the package I told him that you dont need cables.

Tryed it out tonight after an easy update of the firmware, and it workes like a fucking sharm.
The nice thing is that it is both transmitter and reciver in the same gadget so you dont need to keep them apart. 


















Also did some tests shooting some smoke. Flash is on the side 

I love it!
