Quantum QF32 Flash Tube

Quantum's Qflash X5d-R series is the latest evolution of Quantum's proven portable Qflash units.

The X designation indicates that it can powered by a Quantum QPAQ-X (not supplied) or Norman/Lumedyne battery pacs (with appropriate adaptors) giving a maximum power output of 400Ws per head. When used with FreeXwire, the new Qflash 5d-R now supports wireless control of all dedicated camera flash functions; including Manual, TTL, Auto, Auto-fill and TTL-Ratio - up to 500 feet away! The Qflash X5d-R blends seamlessly with Canon, Nikon and other professional digital camera systems, using Quantum's proprietary QTTL adaptors. In some cases, it even provides capabilities a camera system may not support; such as wireless remote Fill-Flash!

All Qflashes can be upgraded as new features come along; please contact for further details, or have a look at the Quantum site .
