The Quantum QLINK for Canon with FreeXwire Receiver is a B&H Kit that is an ideal way to create a multi-flash setup with your Canon flashes that can be controlled wirelessly from your Quantum QFlash, TRIO or PILOT. QLINK uses a FreeXwire receiver to link with your camera and remote Canon speedlites, enabling control of lighting ratios in TTL or f/ numbers in Auto mode from the back of the above mentioned flash units at distances up to 600'. The kit includes a FW8R FreeXwire Wireless Digital Receiver and a FreeXwire QLINK for Canon.
The Quantum FreeXwire QLINK for Canon is a great way to create a mini-studio of Canon remote-controlled flashes. Take any number of Canon shoe-mount flashes, each fitted with a FreeXwire receiver and add a QLINK. Using your Quantum Pilot or TRIO flash on your camera as the master (controller), you can not only wirelessly trigger the flashes, but control their output from -3 stops to +2 stops. Alternately, you can set each flash to Auto and let the remote flash determine its own exposure.
The Quantum FreeXwire FW8R Receiver can be used to receive a wireless radio flash trigger signal from an FW10w or FW9T transmitter connected to the camera. Or can be used to receive wireless TTL information when connected to the Qflash T5d and a Dw series QTTL adapter on the camera.
The FW8R receiver can also be used as a receiver hooked up to the camera with a Quantum Two-Step Motor Drive cord to allow for remote wireless triggering of the shutter release. With a 2-step cord you keep your camera's meter and focus function continuously on (as in pressing the shutter button half way).
