The Quantum's are a third party deal Quantum being the name of the company so
Vivitar would not talk about them.
But they became very popular and might still be. You had to drill a little hole
in your battery door and there got to be a time when most the flashes you saw
had that little hole drilled in the sliding door! I just had bad luck with two
of mine.
