Review on Complete Westcott FJ400 Strobe Bundle with Battery, Flash Trigger, SD Card, and Tripod by Mindy Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great flash, but problems with the transmitter!

The Westcott FJ400 Strobe is a great strobe. I have two problems with this. First, I have two Nikon SB-5000 flashes that I wanted to use with flash. I've tried all ways to get the transmitter to fire them but to no avail. Second, the transmitter has a battery that needs to be charged. If the battery is dead on site, the transmitter will not work. Many transmitters use a double AA battery. If the batters are out, they can be replaced and continue shooting. In my opinion Westcott should have developed a transmitter that would fire other flashes and flashes. Also, it's difficult to change the settings on the transmitter because the wheel is also a button. By spinning the wheel, it's as easy as pressing the button and exiting the setting.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
