3.4 Bracket Mounting
Qflash mounts with a 1/4-20 standard tripod thread to
brackets, light stands, and tripods. Many brackets
are made especially for Qflash by the popular
bracket manufacturers.
Quantum also has two optional brackets, mod-
els QF70US and QF70E. The instructions
below that describe mounting to
both of these brackets applies
also to other brackets, light
stands, and tripods.
Two types of 1/4-20 fasten-
ers and a friction pad are sup-
plied with Qflash. Place the
mounting pad between Qflash
and the bracket, insert one of
the fasteners and tighten. (If
the mounting surface has a
pad, the mounting pad is not
necessary). Note that brackets
vary in thickness. Always make sure
that the mounting knob screws into Qflash
at least two complete turns.
3.5 Connecting Qflash to a Camera
There are several ways to connect a Qflash to a camera, both wired and
wireless.
For wired connection use 1) a household two-prong sync cord (supplied)
to the sync connector of Qflash; 2) a QF or FW series TTL adapter; 3) Use
a D series QTTL adapter; or 4) use a QF53 Hot Shoe sync. Consult your
dealer or www.qtm.com for the latest TTL and QTTL adapter models.
Note: When using a household type two-prong cord, if you have difficulty
getting the sync signal to the flash, reverse the plug to match the camera’s
sync polarity.
3.6 Powering Qflash
Before turning on any power to Qflash always make all electrical connec-
tions first, both to the camera and to Turbo Batteries.
Plug the Qflash T4d cable into the output jack of any Quantum Turbo
Battery. For Qflash X4d, connect the power cable to a Qpaq system*.
Turn on Turbo or Qpaq power. Qflash will be powered up and ready to run.
If a “Check Turbo” or “Check Power” message appears on the Qflash dis-
play, turn off the Turbo or Qpaq, wait one second, and turn it on again. If
the message appears again, the power pack needs recharging.
If a “Reset Flash?” message appears in the Qflash display press any but-
ton, except the Mode I button, to resume operation.
