| 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Great flash, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Quantum Qflash Model T5d-R (Electronics) If you have ever watched David Ziser photograph you will see how I work, except I have a TRIO on-camera and he has a 580EXII on-camera. I use it inside with an assistant holding a monipod, T5dR attached using a multi-clamp and a Turbo 2x2 battery powering the unit. The T5dR will have an umbrella out front when inside and outside it will be closed. The T5dR provides a lot of light. This comes in handy when shooting groups or individuals in full sunlight or very bright sunlight. Plenty of power for my work.I can adjust it from my TRIO, turn it on, off, on, up or down, change the power, etc. wirelessly using the optional FW7Q receiver. If my 580EXII is on board my camera, as seen with Ziser, my assistant can easily adjust power for me on the T5dR. The thing that would complete the package and give it a five-star rating would be if the T5dR would do HSS (high speed sync.It is an expensive unit, made in the USA. It is a workhorse, and superior in light quality to the 580EXII... Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Great Potenital but has Lots of Inexcusable Flaws when used as a camera flash, This review is from: Quantum Qflash Model T5d-R (Electronics) I use the Qflash T5d-R as my external camera flash instead of a normal external speedlight because it out-performs speedlights when I need to shoot continuously fast.PROS: You can shoot faster than you can with normal hot-shoe mounted external flashes. The big round reflector and large Lamp produce a nicer projection of light compared to normal external flashes. If the Lamp blows, you can replace it yourself. Although not well designed, the TTL connector cord has a dial which makes it easy to increase or decrease output. CONS: This product is designed and intended to be used as a portable studio flash, and when treated with tender loving care, works well for that. But it has lots of problems when used as a camera flash. 1. Nothing is lockable. Everything is designed as Easy pop-on, Easy pop-off. That means the reflector, diffuser, and connectors are ALWAYS either falling off or disconnecting. The most inexcusable thing that always falls off is the... Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Love my Quantum, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Quantum Qflash Model T5d-R (Electronics) Like a previous reviewer, I am a fan of David Ziser and work in a similar fashion, using my Quantum T5d-R off camera either on a light stand or paint pole (more reach than a monopod). The flash is a little more powerful than a Nikon SB900 but with the added advantage of faster recycling and complete absence of overheating issues. I prefer to use Pocket Wizards to trigger the flash, providing a rock-solid combination for weddings and other event work. I like the fact that it can work with the Nikon Advanced Wireless System with the optional Qnexus module, but I still prefer to use it manually for 95% of my work. There are times when I wish for even more power, but my studio lights can provide that if necessary. Although fairly expensive - the complete system will cost your over $1000 - it is absolutely worth the money for a working pro. |
