D-Lite RX to Go Part 2: Technical Walkthrough

[@scottyofeden]

Excellent! Simple, no crazy camera angles, and to the point. Thanks!

[@Brandon_Watson]

Hey, I want to say thank you for this. I bought one of these kits second hand and I'm pretty sure it came with everything from the kit, but there is no way I could have gotten it set up with the included materials. This video is a must-watch for this kit if you are new.

👍

[@Dreamoment20]

thank you for the nice explanation... I bought these set for my studio. Now I'm ready to go. thank you

[@shs1592]

Great walkthrough - love your pacing and explanation - thanks so much - keep on teaching

[@alisonmckay2992]

Best explanation yet, very easy to follow, thank you.

[@awsmithjr]

Thanks; this was VERY helpful and solved a quirky problem for me. . . .

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

So glad it helped!

[@zenmellowdies13]

Thanks for this video. I am hoping you can help with a problem that i am having with the Elinchrom D-Lite 4 light kit. I got this used lighting kit from a relative. After powering both strobes all the functins seem to work except when I simultaneously press the up and down button to reach the menu. For some reason the menu to set up the group or frequency channel does not appear on screen. Any suggestions on how to get these to operate properly? I followed every step on video and can't get the menu screen to poppulate. Thanks for your help.

thanks you saved my life !

Thank you - helped me a great deal

thank you so much

[@Bob-Horse]

Really helpful and useful video. May I ask whether you could do a similar video using the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro attached to the camera hotshoe please.

[@kevinkehoe9551]

Thanks for this - I bought a secondhad D4 setup without a manual. One thing I keep getting is a E4 error(Charge Fault). It says this happens when it has a time out during charging. However when I switch it off for 2 mins and back on the E4 comes back again. Is there an easy way for me to check without having Elinchrom service centre looking at it? Thanks

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

Hi Kevin, The steps you have mentioned are the only troubleshooting steps we can provide. In this case, it would be best to contact a service center for the next steps. If you are in the US you can contact the service center here: www.elinchrom.com/support/us-service-contact/

Excellent explanation.Setting up mu dlite rx 4 now.

[@bkhipsher]

THANKS!

[@mrmcrobbkdc4001]

I can get everything working as you did in the video - but the shutter button is not firing the transmitter. It usually works once or twice, then stops working completely. I can fire and control the lights from the transmitter, just not from the shutter button. Would love some help!

@@PhotoVideoEDU It worked perfectly when I used a Canon DSLR(550D). Always had the same issues with the 5 different Pentax DSLR I tried(K70, K50, K30). My current solution is to just use the Canon, but I'd like to use the Pentax cameras in the future.

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

We absolutely understand, we'll pass this information along to Elinchrom!

[@diegoayala460]

is R2 for hi speed sync ? say shutter speed is higher than. 250/1. Thank you

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

Hi Aaron, for the RX-4 you will need an Elinchrom Transmitter Pro for the camera type you are using. You can find more here: www.elinchrom.com/product/transmitter-pro/

[@caritocastro]

Hi! Maybe you can help me! My d lite doesn't stop blinking, I don't know what happened but I cannot stop it. Do you know how to fix it?

[@francescoz1964]

Hi, many thanks for this tutorial :)

[@shs1592]

Great lesson now I just have to get shooting - thx

[@bkhipsher]

Hope it's going well!

[@kylekeast]

Hi, we are using three of these in our studio. How do you set the power levels to go lower than 2.0? One of our units can go down to 1.0, but the other 2 only go down to 2.0 (all 3 are identical) Thanks

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

Hi Kyle, Are all three units the same RX4 or is one an RX-One by chance?

[@kylekeast]

@@PhotoVideoEDU Hi again sorry for the late reply. All 3 units are the D-LiTE RX 4 model.

[@Seriewoordenaar83]

@@PhotoVideoEDU I have the same question, both of my lights are D-Lite RX4 and I can't get them lower than 2.0

[@cplaei1800]

Does the El-19368 skyport work with nikon z7?

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

Hi, the EL19368 is considered a "universal" transmitter and should work with the Z7.

[@Harikumar-sf4ob]

superb sir..tank u so much ..any new videos send me sir

[@niccobirdsong411]

Does anyone know if this light can be used for continuous lighting?

[@niccobirdsong411]

What my mean by “continuous” is always on

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

While this unit does have a modeling light, it is not recommended to be used as a continuous light.

Thank you

You are welcome!

[@galaxykat1763]

My Rebel t7 isn't syncing to my lamps.

[@PhotoVideoEDU]

Is the flash not firing or is it out of synchronization?

[@danijeljelicic]

Can you see the lamp power other places then on the back of the head?

[@fredwindholz828]

You can if using the Elinchrom Skyport Plus HS trigger

[@bkhipsher]

You can see the power level on an Elinchrom enabled Sekonic meter and on the Skyport Plus HS transmitter.

[@aaronlopez2566]

thanks.. very helpfull..

[@bkhipsher]

Great! Glad to read this!

[@vi2e]

The usability of the menues and devices are terrible. Expensive equipment that cannot afford a proper amount of buttons and text next to them. This could be sooo much better! But the video is older - let's see if you improved the stuff by now.

[@vi2e]

for example_ why can't there be the display style of the skyport at the back of the lamp? how much extra does that cost? 80 cent?! i don't understand those decisions. Even the guy in the video is confused when checking the setup!
