1. INTRODUCTION
Quantum’s “Trio” series flash integrates camera dedication, Qflash quality light, and Quantum’s
Free X Wire radio technology into a single shoe mount flash.
The Trio is compatible with Qflash series 5d-R and 3d-R, and Free X Wire models FW10w,
FW7Q, FW8R, FW9T.
Many features of the Trio will enhance your lighting control when used with Qflash5d-R and
Free X Wire FW10w, FW7Q, FW8R
While powerful and extremely versatile, the operation of the Trio is intuitive and
straightforward. Many of the wireless modes will set the Radio to Transmit (Tx) or Receive (Rx)
automatically. We encourage you to start pushing buttons and explore the operation of the
Trio.
