After years of innovation and refinement, the Q Flash X5DR Digital is the latest evolution in Quantum's renowned Qflash portable flash line. This powerful and versatile flash unit, designed for both digital and film camera systems, offers unparalleled wireless control of all dedicated camera-flash functions, including Manual, TTL, Auto, Auto-fill, and TTL-Ratio, up to a remarkable distance of 500 ft. The Q Flash X5DR Digital, along with its sibling models T4d & X4d, are equipped with Quantum's proprietary QTTL through-the-lens dedicated exposure control, ensuring precise and consistent lighting for every shot. The inclusion of parabolic reflectors helps produce softer, cleaner light, enhancing the quality of your photographs. These reflectors are easily interchangeable, allowing for bare bulb, wide angle, diffused, and telephoto lighting effects.Despite its robust capabilities, the Q Flash X5DR Digital is compact and lightweight, making it a perfect companion for on-location shoots. The flash heads are designed to swivel and bounce, locking into position with a single button control for ease of use. The Q Flash X5DR Digital offers a wide range of power adjustments in both automatic and manual modes, providing flexibility for various shooting conditions. In automatic mode, the flash power adjusts in 1/3 steps over a wide range, while in manual mode, it displays 19 power settings from full to 1/64th power, in 1/3 step increments. For complex, multiple flash set-ups, Q Flash units can communicate and coordinate either through control cables or wirelessly via FREEXWIRE digital transceivers. This allows for wireless QTTL, A-TTL, D-TTL, E-TTL, auto, and even remote setting changes on Qflashes. The Q Flash X5DR Digital can be powered by Quantum Turbo, Turbo 2x2, or Turbo Compact, or connected to a Qpaq, Lumedyne, or Norman 200/400 to create portable studio systems. With its power exceeding that of typical shoe-mount and handle-mount flashes, the Q Flash X5DR Digital allows for greater distances, bigger shots, and more bounce power, delivering studio-quality light in a portable package. The QTTL system is fully dedicated to popular camera systems such as Nikon, Canon, Contax, Mamiya, and more. With the QTTL adapter for your camera, Qflash "Digitals" display and track the camera f/number and film speed set in the camera, allow for rear curtain sync, and provide infra-red auto focus assist. In conclusion, the Q Flash X5DR Digital is a high-quality, durable, and versatile flash unit that offers professional photographers the power and flexibility they need to capture stunning images in any setting.

I use the Qpaq X5DR to photograph Rec League teams in the sun all day long.  I put their back to the sun and the QpaqX system does the rest.  I had great result on manuel, but TTl and auto were inconsistant and poor quality in the mid day sun.  I might be able to work out the bugs in ttl if I had time but photographing over 200 athletes and cheerleaders doesn't allow me time to play around with settings.  The FreeXwire system works  but was bulky and cumbersome.  I just ordered the co-pilot and look forward to working without the adapter, wire and transmitter all attatched to my camera.  The biggest disadvantage is price.  One unit and accessories like battery, command module ect is around $1800  That is a lot of packages at $25 a piece.

I've owned the T5D-r's for a number of years and bought the Trio last year but there were times when I wished I'd had more flash power so I purchased the X5D-r and I'm very happy with it.  400ws is enough power to do just about anything most photographers require.  I love how easy it is to remote control remote flashes with either the Trio or Pilot (I usually use the Pilot).  It's a great flash because you can use it both in a studio enviornment or on location.
