Studio Quality,
High Power,
TTL Flash. Designed
with the professional in mind. |
The Qflash Model T2 is powered by the Quantum Turbo or
Turbo Z Battery for Guide No. 160 (ISO 100) auto flash power. The Qflash Model X2 can be
powered by the new Qpaq-X. It can also be powered by a Lumedyne or Norman pack, for up to
400 watt-seconds (GN 220, ISO 100 film) of auto-flash power.
Qflash uses parabolic reflectors for softer, cleaner light.
The reflectors are removable for bare-bulb lighting. The flash head bounces and swivels.
Flash control is either automatic, TTL (with optional adapters), manual, or stroboscopic.
Automatic exposure control covers a nine stop range, adjustable every 1/3 stop, for a
total of 25 automatic settings! Manual power can be adjusted from full to 1/64 power in
1/3 stop increments. Flash power can be precisely what you need. Stroboscopic mode can be
adjusted for flash power, and number and frequency of bursts. Program lets you store up to
4 of your favorite settings (e.g. auto @ f8, f16 manual @ 1/4 power) and switch between
them at a push of a button.
Qflashes can be ganged together to produce flexible
lighting setups with thousands of watt-seconds of automatic or manual flash power. Qflash
mounts on a camera bracket, tripod, or lightstand and weighs no more than a conventional
flash.
Studio quality reflectors - To avoid harshness that
can be produced by rectangular reflectors, Qflash uses a parabolic reflector. Angles of
coverage : Normal position 55°, Wideangle 70°, with diffuser (included) 90°, or remove
the reflector for bare-bulb 360° coverage.
Accurate auto ranges - LCD shows minimum &
maximum flash distance range for each auto setting. Qflash has both an audible and visual
indication of correct exposure, displaying "OK" & beeping once. Or you get
three beeps right away and an "UNDR" or "OVER" in the display, telling
which way to adjust the Qflash. The beeping can be turned off, or you may use the included
earphone.
TTL Mode - With Quantum's optional adapters for
popular TTL cameras, you can control the Qflash exposure through-the-lens. TTL operation
indicates proper and over and under exposure visually and audibly.
Slave Mode (for most flexible lighting setups) - One
Qflash can control the exposure of an unlimited number of Qflash "slaves"
connected to it. Use this feature to increase lighting power, or light difficult subjects
the way you want with multiple flash heads. They can be controlled via a TTL adapter or
their own auto setting. You can also set each Qflash independently - to its own automatic,
manual, or stroboscopic exposure to get precise lighting ratios and light control.
Stroboscopic Mode - lets you select a strobe rate of
one to 50 flashes per second. You can also select the power level and the total number of
flashes from one to 20.
(The number of bursts that can be set depends on the power level setting).
Remote Sensor - This accessory lets you put Qflash
where you want and read the light at the camera position. Placement of Qflash can be up to
100' away (cable extensions required).
Lighted LCD - The lighted LCD panel shows Mode
(Program, Automatic, Manual, TTL, Slave, Reflector Position, or Stroboscopic), F#, flash
distance range, Guide #, ISO, flash ready, "OK", and Under as well as Over
exposure checks. The Qflash controls are intuitive and easy to learn in minutes. Readouts
can be converted between feet or meters.
Modeling light for Qflash model X2 -
A 35 watt modeling lamp for this model lies inside the flashtube at the focal point. It
provides an illumination pattern true to the flash pattern, and also serves as a focusing
aid.

Features of the Qflash T2/X2: |
Program Mode - Lets you program up to
four of your favorite settings. You can then switch between them with a button push. For
example, instantly switch from f/16 @ 10ft. manual to f/8 (2.2-20ft.) automatic to TTL!
Set any combinations you like!
Enhanced Manual Mode - An enhanced LCD display shows
f/stop and distance to help you choose the manual power level you want. The Manual Mode
also displays the relative manual setting, and it calculates the Guide No. for you.
Options Display - Pushing the Options button opens a
display. Set the reflector indicator to Normal, Wide, or Diffuser so that all Qflash
distance readouts are calibrated to the selected reflector position. You can also turn the
audible indicator on or off, and change between Feet and Meters readouts for Guide No.,
film speed, and distance.
Infinite Memory - When you program
your most frequently used mode, f/stop, film speed, and other settings into Qflash model
T2 or X2, they retain these settings until you change them. Even after shutting off the
power indefinitely.
