Flaghead Photographic Limited is the new UK distributor for Quantum Instruments. Quantum Instruments are based in New York and are manufacturers of external battery packs, radio trigger devices and the unique QFlash & Qpaq-X system products.

For over 20 years Quantum Instruments have been the world leader in the development and manufacture of external battery packs, which greatly shorten recycling times for flashguns and provide greater capacity for flashguns and digital cameras. Today 6 different batteries are available, catering for different demands and applications: Quantum QB1+, QB1Compact, QB2, Turbo, Turbo Compact & Turbo 2x2.

The famous Quantum Radio Slave has freed thousands of photographers from the problems and restrictions associated with cables in the studio and on location, as it allows reliable, wire-free triggering of flash units and cameras. This technology has taken another leap forward when the digital FreeXWire was launched more recently.

The Quantum QFlash system is unique! It is the only portable, battery operated flash unit that combines the very latest in technology found in sophisticated on-camera flashes (Nikon, Canon, Metz etc) with the creative possibilities of shaping the light only offered by studio flash equipment! The QFlash gives you full TTL (even wireless TTL), auto-thyristor, manual or stroboscopic option,s while a fully interchangeable reflector system allows realisation of your full creative lighting potential.
