Modular Power Pack for Qflash X4D/X5d-R
Leave your AC studio flash at home...the Qpaq-X flash system works for both location and
candid photography. A high energy, modular power pack with 200•400•600•800 watt-seconds
of portable flash power, you can connect one or two Qflash-X 400 watt-second heads and
shoot manual, automatic, TTL or Strobo mode!
Qpaq-X has a removable battery that is user
replaceable. Select from either small or large battery
modules to fit the needs of your assignment. Then
add or remove “PXC” modules to create a compact 200
watt-second pack or a two head, studio system up to
800 watt-seconds.
◆ Aim two Qflash X’s into umbrellas or light
boxes connected to an 800ws Qpaq-X. Use
this set-up in your studio with conven-
tional or digital cameras. Pack this same
outfit and take it on location for indoor or
outdoor use. After portraiture photography
is finished, break down the Qpaq-X to ei-
ther a 200 or 400 watt-second pack and use
it for your grip and grin shots.
◆ The Qpaq-X/Qflash X is the only flash
system that gives you 800 watt-seconds of
studio quality lighting for manual, auto-
matic, strobo and TTL exposure control.
◆ Quantum’s “no memory” battery system
lets you charge the Qpaq-X from any ca-
pacity level. A new charging design
displays the level of charge going into the
battery from 25%, 50%, 75% to 100% full
capacity. Remove the battery from the
charger at any time for emergency use.
◆ Read the battery’s remaining capacity with
“fuel gauge” indicators
◆ Ratio power to each flash head
◆ Work with AC mains or battery power
◆ Switch from “ultra”recycling (1.8-seconds)
to “normal” (3.2-seconds) mode for
maximum operating time
◆ Replaceable battery for continuous power
on location
◆ Mount Qpaq-X to a lightstand, monopod
or tripod with the PPM Pole Mount Kit
◆ AC Module PAC charges on-board battery
while shooting using PR1, PR2 or PR3
Recycling & Capacity shown for full power manual. Automatic flash can be many more shots and
faster recycling, depending upon shooting conditions. All data is approximate for illustration only.
Think building blocks when you
put together a Qpaq. At the top
there is always a “PX” Command
Module. Build your system up to
800 watt-seconds with 200
watt-second “PXC” modules. Then
snap on a high capacity PB1 or
compact PB2 battery.
