Winter 2004-5 - Karlu Photographic

Quantum
High power guns get through a lot of
alkaline AA batteries, and AA nicads
only give a marginal performance
improvement. A Quantum battery
dramatically improves full power
recycling times, greatly extends working
charge times and offers far more ‘bang
for your buck’ than camera manufacturers’
own offerings!
All Quantum batteries can be
adapted to a variety of flashguns by
using a specially-designed lead (module
in Quantum’s parlance), so
you need to add the price
of this to that of the
battery. All batteries are
supplied with
a UK 3-pin
mains
charger.
Alternative
chargers are
available at
extra cost.
NEW Turbo Compact
The most compact battery of its type
currently available – an ideal choice for a
digital SLR/flash combination. Both flash
and camera can be simultaneously
powered. Shoe mount flash recycles in
1.4sec from full power, gives 400
flashes, or 250-350 with a camera in
use. High strength polymer case
weighing just 450g. QUTC £319.00
PHONE: 0845 3 30 55 30
Battery 1+ / Battery 2
Popular workhorses, for 6-volt and 9-volt
guns respectively. They feature dual
output sockets, allowing two flashguns to
be powered simultaneously, and use a
heavy-duty coiled module lead.
Typical performance full power
Battery 1+ – 250 flashes, 3.5–5 sec recycle

Turbo 2x2
Puts the power through the flashgun’s AC
or high voltage input socket (for this
reason some guns can’t use them) and
uses the latest NiMH cells to generate
massive power with less weight than the
original Turbo. 700 full power flashes, or
400-600 with a camera attached gives allday
perfomance. Like all Turbos, has a
‘fuel gauge’ displaying remaining capacity. Two built-in sockets for camera and flash. Fast
3 hour charging time (1.5 hours with second charger) Weight 900g. QUT2X2 £407.00
Turbo
Uses lead cells which give consistent performance, albeit with a small weight penalty. Shoe
mount flash recycles in 1 sec from full power; handle mount 1.25 sec. Capacity of 500 full
power flashes with shoe gun. Can power two guns or camera/gun with optional QT48 dual
connector (£68.00). Shoulder strap attachment points. Weight 1.1kg. QUT £319.00
Turbo/Turbo 2x2 leads
2m coiled cables for belt mounting.
