Probably the best and cheapest 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. One of the devices has a battery error. properly inserted and fastened. I don't know why this is happening at all. The other block is in perfect condition and runs very quietly. The power this block exudes is incredible. artwork. 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…

Impressive Westcott Strobe Light

We're big fans of Westcott and his lighting gear. When we found out about the FJ400, we had to pick it up immediately. Paired with one of their Rapid Box Switch softboxes, this is the perfect setup for wildlife photography. We shoot with Canon and use our own print, but you can also get the one Westcott supplies. Too bad I didn't have money for a second one!

Pros
  • OPTIMIZED DESIGN AND INTUITIVE FEATURES: 20W 5600K LED modeling lamp, extra long flash for even light distribution, intuitive menu system, color LCD display, built-in self-monitoring security features, firmware updates via USB to keep up with the latest technology .
Cons
  • Hardly ever

Not as specified for Lighting & Studio

I received the item yesterday, when I opened the Revain box I found that the original packaging containing the item (fj400) had been tampered with (original seal broken ). The power cord is used up, the gel filter box is crushed, the LCD has scratches, the user manual is missing, and the zip pockets with some connection cables are also torn. returned or ever issued. Item was not listed as used or opened. It just wasn't new. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

Pros
  • BREAKTHROUGH PRECISION AND COMPATIBILITY: 400W flash, AC/DC rechargeable battery, 0.05-0.9 second recharge time, 480+ full power flashes per charge, 2.4Gbps optional Westcott FJ-X2m Universal Wireless Trigger or Westcott FJ80 Flash
Cons
  • Not sure

Amazing flash and cheaper than the competition!

I've been using this flash for almost two weeks on various shoots. So far I've done portraits, products and most recently cars. I charged the battery for the fj-x2m strobe and trigger when they first arrived and haven't had to charge them yet. Batty really serves a long time. The TTL and high-speed sync functions work very well and without any problems. I'm going to try the Stop Sync feature on an athlete photoshoot in about two weeks. The loading time is also amazing. Even at full power, the…

  • TTL, HSS, FREEZE SYNC and OTHERS: manual and TTL, high-speed sync up to 1/8000 s, stop sync up to 1/19000 s, continuous shooting up to 20 fps, mask function, automatic memory recall, sync. rear curtain, 6 groups, 16 radio channels, group exposure compensation

  • Ugly packaging

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…

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
