Each Quantum FW10w FreeXWire Digital Transceiver can be used as a radio transmitter or receiver, or relay unit. The FreeXWire creates a two-way link between the camera, flash, and photographer. One FreeXWire unit signals a remote FreeXWire to trigger a flash or camera, and the remote sends back confirmation that it received the signal.
Four FreeXWires can serve as two send/receive systems, operating on two different Channels. Or all FreeXWires can be set on the same Channel so that they can operate as one system - a transmitter and three receivers.
The FreeXWire FW10w has been updated to be compatible with the Quantum Qflash T5d to provide full wireless TTL operation when used with the Dw series QTTL adapters.

Comments about Quantum Instruments FW10w FreeXwire Digital Transceiver:
I just used this this past weekend to fire off a couple of Quantum T5D-r's and a couple of Nikon Sb-910's with the q-link system at a wedding. They worked like a gem!
I have used plenty of PW's and their new flex and mini system. They are great when they work, or should I say if they work. I mostly use my off camera lights in full manual mode and never change them once they are calibrated to the proper power. With the PW Flex and Mini if you lose connectiviity then you have to turn everything off and then back on in the proper sequence . This is a pain and I have lost photo ops when I am doing this during the reception. Not to mention that I look like I am an amateur.
I never had a problem with my pilot and thought that I could try the fw10w with a simple connection to my pc port on my camera. I have to say that I did not have a misfire once all night. I even had to put the pc cable back into the pc port twice as I pulled it out inadvertently and when I fired the camera, everything went off with out a hitch.
So nice to not have to worry about your lights and concentrate on the shots!!!!
It works with the pc port on my flash as well.

Comments about Quantum Instruments FW10w FreeXwire Digital Transceiver:
Overall, a very good product. Have had to have several repaired over the years because the antenna flops around and eventually falls off. Must be repaired by Quantum...can't do it yourself.

I have been using the FreeXwire systems for years. Setting up on-location studios at special events and schools it is wonderful not having cords going everywhere.

Comments about Quantum Instruments FW10w FreeXwire Digital Transceiver:
Used just a bit, but I found out AFTER buying that in order for this to work with a camera Quantum D adapter, you MUST have a Quantum T series flash in the chain at the camera to do transmitting of TTL. The only way to do TLL without a T Flash at the camera is with an FW9. Now I have to buy an FW9 to do what I thought the FW10 could do. (if you don't want either of these to dangle around via cords, you need to get the Unimod FW11 or use lots of velcro.

Never fails, I mean, never. TX and Rx in one device.
Should be wireless TTL with other brands, not only Quantum.

Comments about Quantum Instruments FW10w FreeXwire Digital Transceiver:
Can't ask for better than that. Trasceiver makes most sense; I bought two. Trigger both units (two Nikon SB 800 flash)with Pilot or use one unit to fire flash or camera.
Easy to set up and has great range.

Comments about Quantum Instruments FW10w FreeXwire Digital Transceiver:
I purchased the FW10w Transceiver as a flexible backup and supplement for my transmitter and several receivers. The Quantum FreeXwire system is reliable and it’s great that you can control each receiver independently. I wish the transmitters had a built in hot-shoe foot.
