The Tiffen 138mm Pro-Mist 3 Filter helps to reduce the value of the highlights while noticeably lowering the overall contrast. This filter is especially useful for smoothing out and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes. While designed for use with movies, this filter can also be used for fashion and beauty applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image. The 3 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 2, but less than the 4, while also allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 3. I have impact 400w strobes will I need the ELS universal speed receiver to sync my strobes?

A: That is a transmitter. If you want to use that one you will need a receiver as well.The Elinchrom EL-Skyport has additional features that will only work with specific Elinchrom lights.With impact lights I would just use a traditional wireless sync. Some of those are listed below and the ones I am listing are kits with a receiver and transmitter.

Q: 4. Will this work with a Canon XA30 and a 7” monitor?

Q: 5. Is there an adapter for my 8 pin Varizoom to LANC?

A: We have not come across any such LANC adapters, as this is explicitly designed for pairing with the Fujinon Pro Lenses series and its 8-pins carry signal information that cannot be adapted for LANC.

Q: 6. How can i incorporate my canon 600 exrt with this trigger?

A: The only possible wireless route is Pocket Wizard if you are having HS in mind - expensive route. Hhnel and some other similar pass-through hotshoe trigger/transceiver products can be used. Elinchrom has built EL Skyport Receivers HS recently, which will be triggered by this HS trigger. This also means that for each speedlite you will need such an Elinchrom receiver plus. This seems to be the better option because you will need only this HS trigger on top of your camera (comparing to other systems), which will trigger your speedlite which should be on top of the Receiver HS. However, I am not convinced that Elinchrom has mastered HS technology 100%. Though I love my Elinchrom strobes.

Q: 7. Will this work with the panasonic HC X1 camcorder?

Q: 10. Does the flash unit need an elinchron transceiver or will a pocket wizard plugged into flash unit sync with the skyport HS?

A: Hi,If you are using an Elinchrom Compact Strobe with a built in receiver you can use the new Skyport HS Plus unit. Older units with no receiver can use an Elinchrom universal receiver. Pocket Wizards are not able to work with the Skyport HS.I hope this helps.Regards,Will Mac Group Brand Manager Lighting
