The Speedlite EL-5 is a newly designed flash that receives many features from the flagship Speedlite EL-1 while also including modern features all its own. This set contains Canon Speedlite EL-5 Flash, Soft Case, Stand, and LP-EL Battery Pack.

  • Product Features

    • To improve working with the Speedlite EL-5 the joystick and select dial from the EL-1 are featured making operation easy, so adjustments can be made quickly, while shooting.
    • Additionally, the new multi-function connector at the EL-5's "foot" enables advanced communication on multi-function shoe-equipped cameras providing more customization and control to be shared between the flash and camera.
    • The high-speed charging system of the Speedlite EL-5 is truly impressive and is designed to meet the creative needs of the advanced image maker.
    • With the use of the LP-EL rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, recycle times are greatly reduced even when compared to a Speedlite 600EX II-RT using the CP-E4N battery pack.
    • Working with a variety of lenses is also easy, as the Auto zoom functionality allows flash coverage from 24-200mm.

I need more of these Speedlites!

I love the speedlite. I've had profoto A1, A10, godox v860iii, v1 etc and I was so surprised how soft and natural shooting bare bulb without any modifiers the EL-5 was! I did notice the power goes way lower than 1/128 like my other speedlites but the is probably just one factor. It is a little bit bigger than the canon 600 ex-rt's I had in the past but it's worth it! I dont even need to slap on my magmods making it even more cumbersome. My friend's fault for this purchase because he made me try his EL-5 and I knew I had to have it! No regrets!

Great Flash, Bad Compatibility

I've owned the EL-5 for about 10 months now and I love the rechargeable battery and how long I can use it before having to recharge it. It's also a very fast flash. Unfortunately, the compatibility of the flash is awful. I own a RP, R6-MkII, and a R5c and this flash will only work on the R6-MkII. The R5c has the new hot shoe used by the EL-5, but they are still not compatible. Hopefully there will be a future firmware update that will allow the 2 to work together. The other issue I have with the flash is that if does not come with a charger for the battery. It's not a deal killer since it will charge on any standard canon charger made for the LP-E6 batteries, but for the price tag, it should have it's own charger.

Not supported on EOS 5D Mark IV

It is disappointing that Canon only allows EX series for EOS 5D Mark IV. EL-5 series didn't work with EOS 5D Mark IV at all after I purchased an EL-5. I wish Canon gives us more clear statement about what would work with EL serious on their website. I ended up getting refunded but I had to cover the ground shipping cost for return.

Excellent with one serious flaw?

I purchased 3 Canon mirrorless cameras. They have worked well with my 550EXII and 3rd party speed lights. When I saw a refurbished EL-5 for a very good price, I brought it. So far this was the speedlight Canon should have made long ago. I gave it a 4 out of five because the connectivity with the st-e10 speedlite transmitter is spotty and shuts down in the middle of a shoot. I don't know if the issue is with the speedlight or the transmitter. The overall operation, power and ease of use is 5 stars .
