Overview

The Neewer Q4 is an iF Design Award-winning 400Ws battery-powered strobe that bridges the gap between portable speedlights and full-size studio monolights. Weighing just 4.94 lbs and measuring 7.3 x 8.3 x 2.2 inches, it packs serious output into a compact rectangular body with a convenient top handle. The built-in 2.4G Q wireless system supports five groups and 32 channels, enabling complex multi-light setups when paired with QPRO triggers. Three flash modes — TTL, Manual, and Multi (Stroboscopic) — give photographers full creative control, while 1/8000s high-speed sync opens up the ability to overpower ambient light with wide apertures.

The Q4's 21.6V/2800mAh lithium battery provides up to 400 full-power flashes with recycling times as fast as 0.01 seconds at lower outputs. A 30W LED modeling lamp rated at 5600K and CRI95+ gives accurate color preview between shots. The universal Bowens mount accepts a vast ecosystem of modifiers, and the included package ships with a standard reflector, lithium battery, handle, power adapter, and carrying case. A USB-C port enables firmware updates to keep the unit current, and first/second curtain sync plus stroboscopic rates up to 199Hz provide specialized capabilities for creative and action photography.
