The Elinchrom Three is just powerful enough for outdoor use and small enough for working photographers on the move.

lights. It is twice the power of the One and half the power of the Five. This effectively fills out the collection for creatives as a flexible light source great for both indoor and outdoor shooting that fills in what’s missing for both of the others. The One is great for indoor and low-power situations, and the Five is excellent when partnered with larger modifiers in brightly lit scenarios. The Three is firmly planted in the middle, offering some of the best of both worlds.

As I mentioned above, the Elinchrom Three has a built-in battery, which might annoy some people, myself included. Still, they do make it a little less frustrating to deal with by being able to charge the light when in use using any sort of USB-C connection located on the bottom of the light near the control screen.

An interesting difference between the similarly powered Three and B10X is the Three gives users six stops of power control. In contrast, the B10X offers 10 stops, giving users a lower-powered flash output option, which would come in handy in twilight situations. If you find yourself in a situation where you need a lower power output than the Three offers, you can actually just use the modeling lamp as an option.

You are just as well to walk over the light or group of lights and manually turn them off. Additionally, using these triggers, I experienced a slight but noticeable amount of misfires where the light wouldn’t fire. I think over a week of testing, it worked out to be less than 3%, which is pretty tiny but still a bit frustrating when compared to my Profoto triggers, which only seem to have issues when the battery is on its last legs.
