Of course it only has one output so if that's a problem then perhaps the Turbo 3 is right for you.ronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-52535559838531317432011-03-11T23:02:37.016-08:002011-03-11T23:02:37.016-08:00I shot with the Metz 60 series for years before sw...I shot with the Metz 60 series for years before switching to Q-Flash in the mid-90's for the "quality of light." Q-flash has a nicer quality of light and allows for quick conversion to bare bulb.<br /> I currently shoot with Canon, using the QTTL feature. A T5D-r on-camera transmits settings via FreeXwire to off-camera T3D-r strobes (upgraded T2s). This provides solid triggering in standard QTTL, but multiple problems when attempting to use ratio lighting.<br /> That being said, I generally shoot a wedding with double-light for all candids and multiple lights for groups and indoors.<br /> You need the power of these strobes - 150ws compared to the effective 50ws of the Canon strobes. Lighting is always consistent, and I get wonderful fill from the large Q-flash head. Substantially better quality of light than is possible with the Canon strobe. You can achieve a similar effective the Gary Fong product, but you still don't have the power.<br /> I carry multiple original Turbo batteries and switch out as the day progresses. I'll switch to the Turbo 3 in the near future.Nathan Tsukroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690467799091655573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-29677959002360715412011-01-27T07:55:15.554-08:002011-01-27T07:55:15.554-08:00Ron,

I like that I have the ability to radio slave my second flash and send TTL info and set ratios right from my camera via the Trio. Because the Q's are battery powered I get instant recycle time and full power out puts each time. I shoot a lot of wedding's so this system is really a useful tool.<br />I have 2 turbo2x2 batteries and one Turbo 3. To give you a comparison on batteries. The Turbo 3 last over twice as long as the Turbo 2x2. <br /><br />I also use this system for family portraits and senior work. Its portable(enough), powerful and has a great light output. I sometimes attach a softbox or shoot it bare bulb. <br />Great product line but pricey. I spent many years building it up piece by piece. <br />I would highly recommend the Qflash system. Fast, Accurate, Great light.Jason Mann Photographyhttp://www,jmannphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
