Brand: Quantaray

Located in: Flashes

The Quantaray MS-1 is a pocket sized flash that works without a net! This wireless booster flash does not need to connect to your camera or main flash in any way. It comes equipped with an electronic slave trigger that discharges the flash when it sees the main flash go off. That makes it a very handy piece for filling in shadows, increasing the output of your main flash or for special effects. It comes equipped with a tilting, table-top stand or it can be put into a regular flash shoe or it can be attached to any tripod. Anyway you cut it, it is a highly flexible addition to your existing flash system and, at this price, why not get a couple of them?

Comments about Quantaray MS-1 Wireless Flash Booster / Slave:

I bought 2 of these little guys recently to brighten up my photos a bit more and boy, do they ever pack a punch. I photographed a wedding just recently and had them set up on tripods in the corners of the room and it really made a difference. Only downside in that situation was that anytime one of the guests took a photo they would go off as well. They don't take too long to re-charge, but it is obvious which shots it is working for and which they are not.

Overall, a great product, I can't wait to use it for portrait work, I think my results will be a lot better.

I love this Slave Flash! Its very consistent; i have had very few no fires, because i didn't place them right. Another thing I love about this flash is the many flash modes! These are also great for portraits! if your thinking about buying one, go for it, and while you at it buy a couple more!

Comments about Quantaray MS-1 Wireless Flash Booster / Slave:

I needed a small light to be used as a background light. The price, size and functionality of this little light was so perfect that I purchased 2; one for a background light and one for a hairlight!

Also, the light is so small that it takes up no room in your camera bag. It is great to carry along as additional lighting.

I liked this so much I bought two!

I photograph products some large and some small. I use these flash units to back light and as fill flash for the large products that are hard to light otherwise. I like that they can be intricately aimed.

Comments about Quantaray MS-1 Wireless Flash Booster / Slave:

I get very few no fires, and when I do, its cuz I know I didnt set it up right. They are great for any indoor work, and and shaded outdoor work. They are easily modified with homemade snoots, diffusers, color gels, to give your work a great look.

They are more than worth the money

Comments about Quantaray MS-1 Wireless Flash Booster / Slave:

I have been using these slaves for over 5 years. The first one I bought, I still use, I like to use a few of them to model the light more specifically than I can do with just the on camera flash, I have been using them with all my digital cameras as well as my old film nikon.
At times I use up to 7 of them and at this price, I say, buy a bunch of them!
The color is clean, they can be mounted on a tripod, hung from the wall, stuck in the pocket for traveling or even hidden right in the image for truly spectacular results!

I use these things with my Nikon D70s, I put my on camera flash at 1/8 and as back flash and they look just great. I use 2 of them with umbrellas for studio work and on locatioin. Their so easy to use and set up and for the price, everyone should have one for their kit.
