Review on πŸ’‘ Westcott FJ400 Strobe 400Ws: AC/DC Battery TTL HSS, 480+ Flashes (US/CA Plug) by Hank Mistretta

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably the best and most affordable all-purpose flashlight on the market

I really like this product, but I have a problem. I bought 2 of these at Samy's Camera Store in Culver City. On one of the devices, the battery does not slide in and does not attach properly. Not sure why this is even happening. The other block is in perfect condition and runs very quietly. The power this block exudes is incredible. The easy to use menu and trigger designed for these flashes is a work of art. Suitable for all major camera manufacturers (Sony needs an adapter because of the small flash shoe). $100 (approx) cheaper than the Godox AD400 and uses all of Westcott's amazing light shaping tools. Also, these flashes are compatible with Bowens mounts, so you can use ALL Bowens mods on them. Comes with a rechargeable battery, AC/DC battery connector, 3 magnetic light color correctors, Westcott mount and an impressive and durable carrying case.

Pros
  • UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY: Removable LiPo AC/DC 14.8V 4400mAh 65Wh DC battery for freedom on site and continuous charging when plugged in Energy range 9 f-stop
Cons
  • Questionable buy for elderly
