The Quantum FreeXWire system consists of several units: a Transceiver FW10W, a transmitter FW9T and two receivers, the FW8R and the FW7Q. The scope of these units is amazing: from simply firing a flash unit or a camera remotely to full TTL control up to 500 feet away! All units are small and lightweight and offer a choice of 8 channels.Click here www.qtm.com to go to the Quantum website for full information and specifications, or contact our sales team for a copy of Quantum’s useful DVD which shows their full range of products, and which describes how to get the best from each product.

The Q-Flash is now in its 5th generation! This is a compact but powerful flash unit, which is powered either by Turbo batteries (T model) or by Quantum’s Q-Paq battery system (X model). The Q-Flash has a fully interchangeable reflector system similar to that of studio flash units. It can be used in full TTL control by either dedicated TTL adapters (Nikon/Canon/etc) or by wireless Q-Nexus units which are compatible with Canon and Nikon’s own wireless TTL control systems. In manual the output is variable from Full to 1/64th power in third stop increments. Wireless TTL control is also available by using the FreeXWire radio system.
Fixation is the UK Official repairer for Quantum products, we stock the full range of products for retail sales and we rent the most popular Quantum products.Quantum have specialised in providing rechargeable supplementary power packs for on-camera flash units, making the first QB1 battery pack over 25 years ago! Quantum battery packs have become an indispensable accessory for the professional photographer who needs fast recycling and high capacity.
Quantum make three product lines: BATTERY PACKS, QFLASH and FREEXWIRE
QB1+, QB1COMPACT and QB2, are low voltage battery packs that replace the normal batteries by connecting into the battery compartment of the flash unit.
TURBO BLADE, TURBO T3 and TURBO SLIM COMPACT batteries supply high voltage power and connect into a special high voltage in-put socket that can be found on all professional flash units such as the Nikon SB900 and Canon 580EX, whilst the display and other functions are powered by normal batteries. The Turbo range offers the ULTIMATE in flash-recycling times: from 1 second at full power! Many digital cameras can also be powered by Quantum batteries.
The range consists of:-
TURBO SLIM COMPACT with a single outlet socket for flash power. Extremely lightweight, has a detachable belt-hook or could be carried in a jacket pocket - ideal for events or occasional booster power.
TURBO T3 with two lockable outlet sockets, can be used to power 2 cameras, 2 flashes, or one of each, as the sockets are “smart” and can recognise the voltage output required. Uses NiMH cells, is lighter and longer-lasting than the original Turbo.
TURBO BLADE with one outlet socket. Can be mounted to the tripod mount of a DSLR, is very small and light and can also be stored in a pocket or bag with longer cables.
See the Quantum Battery Pack performance data at the bottom!
We have a specialist team of fully-trained Quantum technicians who can repair all Quantum products (Q-Paq and some RadioSlave repairs need to be returned to the Factory, facilitated through the UK distributor with great efficiency!) When battery cells are replaced, we impose a battery recycling charge of £3 to cover our costs in disposing of the old cells in an environmentally responsible manner.
We keep a full range of Quantum products in our Rental selection, for you to try-before-you-buy, or to supplement your existing Quantum kit. See our Rental list for current range and prices.
