Hi Raph,
I use a Quantum Turbo Z with my FTZ and find it excellent.
Recycle times, even at full power, are less than 2 seconds.
The unit is quite small and light and fits easily in the breast pocket
of my photographer's jacket.
It has a set of 4 little lights that all light up when it's fully charged
and then go out one by one as the charge is used up.
The recharger takes about a hour to fully restore the pack from
an exhausted state.
The cable for the flash is a curly cord type and the connector
to the flash is very snug fitting, and well designed.
The Quantum wasn't cheap, I think I paid nearly NZ$800.00
for mine, but I have never regretted it.
I do a lot of flash work and the Quantum has more than enough power
for me to do a wedding of 20+ rolls of 36exp. and still have power left over.
I agonised over paying out all that money, but now that I have it, I look
forward to doing jobs like weddings, knowing that not only do I look like a
professional, I can do a professional job as well.
Regards,
Max
