Quantum FreeXWire Digital Transceiver
Transceiver FW10w creates a two-way link between your camera, flash, and you. Trigger remote camera shutters and flashes simultaneously. Transmit wireless TTL signals while confirming your wireless link via return confirmations from remote FreeXwires.
Each FW10w can be set to transmit or receive. Four FreeXWires can serve as two send/receive systems, operating on two different Channels. Or all FreeXWires can be set on the same Channel so that they can operate as one system - a transmitter and three receivers.
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!
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.
A FreeXWire connected to one of Quantum's TTL adapters transmits TTL information to any number of remote FreeXWire/Qflash combinations. A "local" Qflash will synchronize also.
Without a TTL adapter, a local Qflash & FreeXWire can control exposures of any number of remote Qflash/FreeXWire combinations.
You can hot shoe sync with FreeXWire's optional Uni-Mod module, use twin blade sync cords, or numerous other cords. FreeXWires use Quantum's motor drive cords for remote wireless shutter.
Antenna folds out of the way for compact storage. Confirmation and Status light tell you your radio link is working. Mounts to light poles, stands, and brackets (hardware included).
Use FreeXWire's two step motor drive cords to keep your camera meter and focus function continuously on (as in pressing the shutter button half way). Your camera will be ready for instant shutter release. Or select motor drive "delay" to command a camera to "wake up", focus and meter, then release the shutter.
For action sports or fast fashion shoots, you can sequence up to 4 remote power packs, giving each pack time to recycle. FreeXWire will activate the power packs in sequence, advancing to the next with each shot. Trigger your camera wirelessly. The FreeXWire connected to the camera relays the shutter sync to a remote flash. Only 3 FreeXWire units are required, instead of 4 as with other systems. The remote flash can synchronize in manual, auto, or TTL mode! You can choose any combination of multiple remote flashes from the hand held FreeXWire transmitter.
FreeXWire batteries last about 120 hours, or 7200 shots @ one shot/minute. No batteries needed when an FW31 cord connects FreeXWire to a Qflash. Use FreeXWire's "sleep" option to provide up to 500 hours of standby time from its own batteries. Optional FW29 AC adapter. Cords MDC2 and XDC2 used with Quantum 1, 1+, 1c, or Bantam Batteries.
