8 Independent Channels
FreeXwire has eight unique Channel Codes. FreeXwire units set to one Channel cannot activate FreeXwires set to different Channels. You control the Channel Code to make FreeXwire units work together or independently, as required. There are 32 individual Channel/Zone settings at your disposal, and 256 possible lighting combinations.
4 Zone Control Plus Local
FreeXwire controls one Local Zone and four wireless Zones for flash or motor drive. You can activate any one Zone, or any combination of Zones 1,2,3,4 and Local. Switch your lighting instantly, remotely. Select and trigger flashes, cameras, or combinations of them, from your remote position.
Wireless Digital Camera TTL
A FreeXwire connected to a "Dw" series adapter transmits the camera's f/stop, ISO, and TTL information to any number of remote FreeXwire /Qflash combinations. A "local" Qflash will synchronize also.
Wireless Auto
Without a TTL adapter, a local Qflash & FreeWire can control exposures of any number of remote Qflash/FreeXwire combinations.
Convenient Connections
You can hot shoe sync with FreeXwire's optional Uni-Mod module FW-11 or FW-12, use twin blade sync cords, or numerous other cords. FreeWires use Quantum's motor drive cords for remote wireless shutter.
Small Size
Compact and light, and antenna folds out of the way for compact storage.

Quantum Instruments FW9T Reviews

Second One I bought

I use the FW9T on a Canon 5D MII to control a T5d-R Quantum light. The only bad thing I have to say is you have to be careful with the unit mounted to the camera. I broke my first one while mounted to the bottom of the camera. The sync cord connected to the camera caught my leg and bent the jack on the unit.

Excellent

I use my transmitter for wedding and fashion shoots. At weddings I have it connected to my shoe mount flash, I set the shoe mount to manual. I use the transmitter to fire my Quantum Flash Trio from the shoe mount. It came with Velcro which was convenient. I have it velcroed to my hot shoe flash. It does what it's supposed to. I haven't seen it misfire yet which is very important. And that's about it. It's made of plastic which keeps it light. It feels very sturdy. That's about all I can say. I recommend it.
