1 Introduction
The Co-Pilot can control the exposure of three Remote Groups (R1, R2, and
R3) or two Remote Groups (R1, R2) and a local Qflash T5d-R.
A Remote Group can consist of :
Quantum Trio
and / or
Qflash T5d-R with an FW8R or FW7Q receiver
and / or
Any non Quantum flash that can be triggered by a sync signal, with
an FW8R or FW7Q.
Any number of remotes may be combined in a Remote Group, for the same
mode / exposure.
To separately set exposures of remote flashes, set them, to different Remote
Groups.

receiver as a remote
Press the mode button, on the Qflash t5d-R, then use the up or down
buttons to select Wireless Remote Group 1 or Wireless Remote

set up the Co-Pilot
Set the channel on the FW8R or FW7Q. There are eight channels
available, 0 through 7.
NOTE: Set all zones to ON.
2.3 Using a Non Quantum flash as a remote
Connect a flash unit to a FW8 or FW10w receiver. Set the channel on the
receiver, to the same channel set on Co-Pilot.
Use the ZONE switches to select the remote group. Zone 1 ON = Remote
Group R1, Zone 2 ON = Remote Group R2, Zone 3 ON = Remote Group R3.
NOTE: When using a non Quantum flash the Co-Pilot will provide a sync
signal to fire the flash, but will not control the exposure. The MAN-TTL mode
switch for this Group must be set to M.
3 .2 Local Qflash T5d-R connected
When a Qflash T5d-R is connected to the Co-Pilot ACCY connector, Group R3
becomes the Local ratio control
Remotes will operate in Groups R1, R2 only.
RATIO / MANUAL POWER SETTINGS – this control adjusts the ratio of the
local Qflash T5d-R, when the Qflash is in QTTL mode. Ratio settings can be
set from -27 to +2.
MODE switch – this control is disabled when a Qflash T5d-R is connected to
the Co-Pilot. The MODE button on the local Qflash T5d-R overrides the
mode setting.
2 Setting up the Remote Groups

Quantum Trio set to Remote Group R1, R2, R3
Qflash T5d-R set to Wireless Group R1, R2. When used with
an FW8R or FW7Q receiver.

3 Co-Pilot setup
The Co-Pilot can control the exposure of three Remote Groups (R1, R2, and
R3) or two Remote Groups (R1, R2) and a local Qflash T5d-R.
A Remote Group can consist of a Quantum Trio, Qflash T5d-R with an FW8R
or FW7Q receiver, or any non Quantum flash that can be triggered by a sync
signal. The Co-Pilot will fire a non Quantum flash but not control it’s exposure.
3 .1 No Local Qflash T5d-R connected
Each Remote Group has two controls.
R1, R2, and R3 (when no Qflash T5d-R is connected to the ACCY connector)
RATIO / MANUAL POWER SETTINGS – this control adjusts the exposure of
the Remote Group. Ratio settings can be set from -27 to +2. Manual power
settings can be set from 1/16- to 1/1. This control also has an OFF position.
