Quantum QFlash Qflash T5d-R

Quantum's Qflash T5d-R series is the latest evolution of Quantum's proven portable Qflash units.

The T designation indicates that it is powered by any Quantum Turbo battery (not supplied) giving a maximum power output of 150Ws. The T5d-R is equally at home in the studio as it is on location, a Turbo AC conveniently converts a Qflash T head into a mains powered flash; making it ideal for use in the studio or at an indoor event

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 T5d-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.

The Qflash T5d-R is not a hotshoe mounted flash, so requires an L bracket (e.g. Quantum QF70E) or a stand mount to support it.

Quantum have released a new Qflash Academy DVD. The DVD is called "Making Pro Flash Easier" and is presented by two top US photographers, Rick Ferro and Will Crocket. There are altogether 18 short lessons explaining every detail and feature of the Quantum Qflash units including the new TRIO and PILOT.
