Qflash Professional Portable Lighting Regardless of which Qflash you choose, you’ll get superb, soft, studio quality lighting ideal for digital photography, unmatched by any other portable flash. Qflash’s power and durability permit rapid full power flashes without slowing down or overheating.
Qflash TRIO “BASIC” For shoe or off-camera mounting Containing the most often used modes, TRIO “BASIC” is the affordable way to obtain Qflash light quality and durability. Manual, Auto, Auto Fill and TTL modes are dedicated to Nikon (model QF8NB), Canon (model QF8CB) and Panasonic (model QF8PB). Should you need more features, TRIO “BASIC” can be upgraded later to the radio TTL capable TRIO.
Qflash TRIO For shoe or off-camera mounting TRIO adds an internal FreeXwire radio-TTL system for both receiving and sending. TRIO’s radio sends TTL commands to other remote TRIO’s and Qflash/FreeXwire units. Configure distinct modes and settings of the remotes from the on-camera TRIO.
Qflash TRIO Models QF8C (860300) (Canon) / QF8CB (860310) (Canon “BASIC”) QF8N (860320) (Nikon) / QF8NB (860330) (Nikon “BASIC”) QF8P (860340) (Panasonic) “NEW”
Qflash 5dR High power - for camera bracket or light stand mounting With twice the power of other portable flashes, Qflash 5dR serves as either a portable flash or on-location studio. The 5dR’s modularity lets you adapt it to popular camera TTL systems. Add FreeXwire radio-TTL to link an on-camera TRIO or PILOT. QFT5dR (860380) QFX5dR (860385) 4
Qflash Features and Specs Sensor Limit - Prevents Subject “Blowout” (for automatic & auto-fill modes) Prevents subject “blowout” when background is far away and subject is close.
Visual and Audible Aids Flash exposure indicates blink and beep for confirmation that the flash picture is either OK, under or over-exposed, or did not fire.
QTTL Adapters for QFT5dR & QFX5dR Quantum’s QTTL system is fully dedicated to popular camera systems.
Fast Action with Pre-Sets The Qflash “Program Mode” gives you instant access to your frequently used settings. Pre-set any mode and any setting into as many as 8 memory positions.
EZ-PRO Firmware EZ-PRO Firmware will be available shortly to enhance the control for all Qflash TRIOs. It is meant to make control modes as simple as possible while retaining all functionality and capability. Just 3 basic modes are available Manual, QTTL, Auto. Each mode can be used in receive, transmit or radio off. There is an option in QTTL mode for RATIO and an option in AUTO for AUTO FILL.

CoPilot Your Flash Will Be Assimilated!!! CoPilot... User-Friendly Wireless TTL Flash Controller With Auto-Focus Assist Photographers can now trigger and quickly set ratios for three groups of radio controlled Qflash. Set lighting ratios on the fly, right from your camera. Simply turn three controls on the CoPilot to instantly adjust lighting ratios as you shoot. Mix and match all the flashes you own. CoPilot controls remote Qflash™ TRIOs or T5dRs. And it commands and combination of non-Quantum flashes connected to a Quantum FreeXwire receiver. CoPilot (QF91C) for Canon, (QF91N) for Nikon, (QF91P) for Panasonic and (QF91S) for Sony DSLR cameras. CoPilots’ infrared Auto-Focus Assist helps your camera focus in low light. Mount a CoPilot in the hot shoe of your camera and set ratios of up to 3 groups of remote Qflash. No complicated LCD displays... Instant dial settings. TTL control of “local” Qflash... Models T5dR, 4d, 3d, 2d connected to the accessory connector of CoPilot. Reliable digital radio wireless up to 300’ (100m). Use any number of flashes in each remote group. Trigger non-Quantum flash in manual or auto mode with FreeXwire FW8R or FW10W receivers. For this photo shoot a CoPilot was used to control two Qflash T5dR’s and one Qflash TRIO. A T5dR has a snoot (QF61B) attached doing double duty as a hair light, plus separating the subject from the background. The other T5dR is in a 12x12 softbox (QF68) for fill light and the TRIO has a Wide Angle Diffuser (QF67A) attached to the front of the reflector for soft diffused light to the subject. Power levels for all three flashes were set and adjusted, plus or minus from the CoPilot until the proper lighting was attained.

Creative Control At Your Fingertips The CoPilot controls 3 independent remote flash groups without a local flash, or 2 remote groups with a local Qflash connected to the CoPilot accessory socket. Each flash group can be set to Manual or TTL. Power and ratio settings are easily controlled by a dial for each flash group.
Here’s how the CoPilot sets up:
Good news for photographers still using their older Qflashes (T2D, T3D, T4D, T5D). The CoPilot gives you the ability to use your old flash as a local flash while still getting the TTL ratio control of remotes offered by the newer T5dR and TRIO. Remote flash groups consist of Quantum TRIO, Qflash T5dR or any non-Quantum flash that can be triggered in Manual and Auto mode only, by a FreeXwire receiver. Add any number of remotes to any remote group.
This example shows: Remote Group 1 to -1 stops below camera TTL exposure Remote Group 2 set to +1 stop above camera TTL Remote Group 3 has a local Qflash connected to ACCY connector of CoPilot, set to Manual 1/8 power CoPilot Models: QF91C (860350) (Canon) QF91N (860355) (Nikon) QF91P (860360) (Panasonic) “NEW” QF91S (860352) (Sony) “NEW” With its patterned sensor the infrared auto-focus assist of the CoPilot helps your camera to quickly focus and shoot indoors or outside in low light conditions.

FreeXwire Wireless TTL Digital Radio Control Coordinate multiple remote flashes with camera TTL exposure information. Set flash modes (Auto, Auto-Fill, Manual, TTL) and ratios for individual remote flashes without wires, right from your camera position. Only Quantum FreeXwire radio technology does all this.
Individual FreeXwire Radios FreeXwire radios work with Qflash PILOT to sync and send radio TTL information from cameras to remote flashes.
Receivers FW8R (860510) & FW7Q (860500) Choose between the full feature FW8R or the compact and convenient FW7Q which mounts directly onto the Qflash QF5d/5dR or QF4d.
Transmitter FW9T (860515) Hook it up to a PC or hot shoe sync on your camera to send sync-only radio signals to any remote flash. Or, add a Quantum QTTL Adapter to send camera TTL commands to remote Qflash TRIOs and/or Qflash 5dRs.
Connect a FreeXwire FW7Q or FW8R Receiver to remote Qflash 5dR or TRIO to receive wireless TTL information or just a sync signal to fire at a preset flash output.
Common Features of FreeXwire Radios 8 Independent, non-interfering channels.
Range for FW7Q: 300-600 ft (100-200 m).
4 remote zones can be turned on or off in any combination.
Range for FW8R: 500-1000 ft (160-300 m).

“Kissed By The Light” © David A. Zisser
FreeXwire Set-up
Here is another image I made at a wedding, I just couldn’t resist. The location, the architecture, colors, lights - all were calling out for a dramatic silhouette.
FW9T at the camera
Although the ceremony had just taken place, the guests had stepped outside for the cocktail hour and we had the place pretty much to ourselves - other than the catering staff hustling around to set the room for the reception. I did several group photographs that the bride and groom had requested and had just a short amount of time to pull off this image before everyone returned for the start of the party. My assitant was about 12 feet behind the couple with my Quantum on 1/4 power directed right back at the bride and groom. The shutter speed was just slowed enough to pick up the background candles and ceiling lighting. It’s an easy shot to pull off quickly and it’s always a favorite with the couple. Enjoy! - David

“The Beauty Of The Classics” © David A. Ziser The bride is arranged comfortably next to the pew in such a way that captures the beauty and elegance of her gown and also really enhances the bride’s gorgeous shape. Her shoulders are turned away from the light thereby really accentuating the detail in the gown. Notice too how I brought her face around painting in the opposite direction of the shoulders and how that arrangement adds an elegant, statuesque look to our bride. Her elbow is popped away from her body defining her hour-glass figure. She looks like she stepped out of Bride’s Magazine. The rest of the scene, complete with pipe organ and stained glass window, complete the composition lending a wonderful visual balance to the image. Camera specs: Canon 7D fitted with 18-200mm. IS lens at 20mm, f5.6 @ 1/40 second, ISO 200.
Lighting is from camera right from a Quantum TRIO at 1/2 power just out of camera range. 21
