Neewer's powerful Q6 outdoor flash is available for pre-order
Image: Neewer Neewer announced that its new outdoor studio flash, designed to overpower even midday sunlight and fill large softboxes, is available for pre-order. The company says the Neewer Q6 offers 600Ws output, a consistent 5700K color temperature, fast recycle times, TLL/HSS support, smartphone app control and a quartz flash tube. The Q6 weighs 3kg (6.6 lbs) without the handle and is 195 x 185 x 170mm (7.7 x 7.3 x 6.3"), roughly the size and weight of a small dumbbell. If you've fitted your camera with a a compatible flash or wireless trigger, it can use Canon E-TTL, Nikon i-TTL, Sony TTL and Fujifilm TTL systems. It also supports Manual and Multi (Stroboscopic) modes. Neewer has equipped it with features like front/rear curtain sync, a "masking" mode that exposes the subject and background separately, making it easier to separate them while editing, burst modes for continuous shooting and timelapse capabilities from 0.01 to 30 seconds. Main Specs: Color Temperature: 5700K (+/-150K) Full Power Flash: 400 (with modeling light off) Flash Duration: 1/20400s max Recycling Time: Approx. 0.01-0.9s Flash Mode: TTL/M/MULTI/BURST MODE Stroboscopic Flash: 1-100Hz, 1-100 times Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC): -3EV to 3EV, 1/3 EV increments Sync Mode: High-speed sync, front/rear curtain sync Delay Flash: 0.01-30s Neewer promises a constant 5700K (±100K) color temperature across power levels for color accuracy, an essential element for product and commercial photography. Flash power is adjustable in 0.1-stop increments, from 1/512 all the way up to full power (1/1), giving users precise lighting control. It features a durable quartz flash tube (rated for 300,000 flashes), two TFT color screens, color-coded groups, and an intuitive layout designed for easy control. A smartphone app allows you to adjust flash modes, tweak settings and update firmware directly from your phone. It can also connect to Neewer's sold-separately 2.4G wireless QZ or QPRO triggers, with five groups and 32 channels for flexible multi-flash setups. This lets you control your flashes from up to 100m (328 ft.). A 3.5mm sync port adds compatibility with other triggers. Image: Neewer Powered by a 28.8V/3000mAh lithium battery, the Q6 can deliver up to 400 full-power flashes per charge. Fast recycling times (0.01-0.9 seconds) and freeze mode allow you to shoot high-speed subjects, such as cars or cyclists, with precision. It supports up to 1/8000s high-speed sync (HSS), ideal for dance or fashion with movement, and ultra-short flash durations from 1/209 to 1/10989 seconds. A 30W bi-color LED modeling lamp (2700-6500K) allows for real-time previewing or serves as a continuous light for video. The Bowens mount makes it compatible with a wide range of modifiers, including reflectors, softboxes, snoots and beauty dishes. Neewer's Q6 aims to be an asset for location shoots where consistent, natural-looking light is critical. It is available for pre-order at a special price of $499.99 (regularly $699.99). The company warns that the US price may increase soon due to tariffs. Shipping is estimated to start on May 18th. Buy at Neewer
