DirkR440 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 24, 2014 Let us know what made you choose this flash model and... post some pictures taken while using it. To be honest, I chose it because I like the way it looks. This week I went to an event of my friend and I took some pictures there, almost every guest came to me and asked me about the camera and the flash. I think people liked it a lot and they became a bit more open for me taking pictures of them. Here is a sample pictures from that day that I took with the flash: Quantum Trio Basic Flash Picture by DirkR1977, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalHeMan Posted October 25, 2014 Share #6 Posted October 25, 2014 Looks like it would make the camera feel quite top heavy..... how is it for shooting? Is it stable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted October 25, 2014 Share #7 Posted October 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Why choose this. Large face (including reflector ) gives much better light than the pin point units. Reminds me of the old Braun EF2 which were gorgeous. Flash bulbs in larger reflectors are way better the cheap small flashes. Getting it up high helps avoid nasty shadows on the background. If the camera rotates, but the flash stays on top, the bracket is a winner. This avoids a left or right side shadow.

DirkR440 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted October 25, 2014 Looks like it would make the camera feel quite top heavy..... how is it for shooting? Is it stable? I was using it for about three hours on an event and it was ok to handle in terms of the weight. I placed the battery pack with a clip on my belt, the flash bracket is made of aluminium and very light, so it is mainly just the weight of the flash itself... but because there are no batteries inside, it is not as heavy as ist looks like.

flynn Posted October 29, 2014 Share #9 Posted October 29, 2014 Dirk: Can you post a few more photos with your rig? Love to see a few more shots. Any problems with the set up? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi996sps Posted October 29, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 29, 2014 I have been contemplating a similar thing and would welcome your further user experience feedback with this type of setup. GODOX PHOTO EQUIPMENT CO.,LTD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reds Posted October 29, 2014 Share #11 Posted October 29, 2014 Already owning RRS L-brackets for my Nikons & Ms - I went for this one. I really like the grip with the Ms - exceptionally comfortable and a sound support in the hand. I'm guessing an SB-910 is prob heavier than your quantum (& smaller, so harder) but I already have them for my Nikons. The bracket works well in practice apart from all the faff managing the cables. Esp when you throw in an SD-9 battery pack on your belt. I get by though ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted October 29, 2014 Share #12 Posted October 29, 2014 I have been contemplating a similar thing and would welcome your further user experience feedback with this type of setup.GODOX PHOTO EQUIPMENT CO.,LTD I use the Cheetah Light (AKA Godox) CL-360 with my M9. Works very well when I need a lot of light. I try to avoid direct flash, so do a lot of bounced flash and the extra power is really useful. I have the RRS plate and grip on the M9 and mount the flash on a rail that extends to the left of the body. That keeps the rig from being too top heavy. I use a PC cord to sync with the flash as it is too close for reliable wireless triggering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted October 29, 2014 Thank you all for the feedback. Just some additional information from my side: The weight (camera, lens, halfcase, flashbracket, flash and cable) is 2.2 kg, plus an additional 400g for the battery pack. But the battery pack is on my belt so I do feel this. For me it is ok to handle. It becomes a bit top heavy when you have tilt the camera to make a pictures of something on the floor for example. Here is another picture that shows how it looks: Me by DirkR1977, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynn Posted October 29, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 29, 2014 thanks for the additional picture. still a little hot for my taste but nice pic! I think I am more of a bounce guy. Again thanks for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi996sps Posted November 14, 2014 Share #15 Posted November 14, 2014 i thought i would share this here. I have just purchased one of these flash units which i believe are branded under several different names. The standard (godox) remote trigger does not support high speed synch, but there is a work around that uses a Yongnuo YN-622 as shown in the link.

jedi996sps Posted November 14, 2014 Share #16 Posted November 14, 2014 Hi, i thought i would share this here. I have just purchased one of these units, which i think are branded under several different names, but essentially are all made by Godox. I was not aware that the the standard Godox remote trigger does not support HSS. There is a workaround, which utilises a Yongnuo YN-622 used in conjunction with the Godox trigger which facilitates HSS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithd Posted November 25, 2014 Share #17 Posted November 25, 2014 Hi all I have the Godox Wistro AD360 plus a Godox Ving 850 flash if you want HSS you need the Cells11 trigger from Godox cheers Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 9, 2016 Share #18 Posted August 9, 2016 These Quantum flashes are 'very' good flashes. But best flash pictures are taken with two or more flashes. None of which are mounted on the camera. I use Canon's T-ETTL II flash system regularly. It works excellently. I wish Leica to develop a similar flash system.
