Westcott has put together this FJ80 and FJ400 Strobe 2-Light Portable Portrait Kit for shooters who need to take to the road for location shooting. The kit includes one FJ80 and one FJ400, each with a rechargeable battery that gives you 400+ full-power flashes, a charger, a, a USB cable, a gel filter pack, and a Rapid Box Switch Insert. A Lite Traveler Backpack is also included for storage and transport. The FJ400 also includes a reflector.
Breaking new ground, Westcott has rolled out the on-camera FJ80 Strobe with a 2.8" LCD touchscreen, fast response, multi-camera TTL compatibility, and the convenience of a removable, rechargeable, lithium-ion polymer battery that will give you 400 full-power flashes on a 2-hour charge. The FJ80 has a 9-stop power range in 0.1-stop and 1-stop increments, recycles in a fast 0.5 to 1.2 seconds, and is capable of 20 fps. It supports High Speed Sync up to 1/8000 second as well as front and rear curtain sync.
One of the FJ80's exciting features is its wide multi-brand TTL compatibility. The flash has an integrated 16-channel, 31-group, 2.4 GHz transceiver that can control multiple FJ200s, FJ400s, and FJ80s and is TTL compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony (with adapter), FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras when used on-camera as well as off-camera at distances up to 328' with separate purchase of a FJ-X2m Universal Wireless Trigger, an FJ80 Universal Speedlight with Built-In Transceiver, or another FJ80.
Westcott continues to push the envelope with the introduction of the FJ400 400Ws Strobe with AC/DC Battery. This version of the flash head has a power cord with a plug that's designed for use in the US and North America. The flash head recycles in just 0.9 seconds at full power - an impressive spec for a battery-powered light. Its 9-stop power range makes it readily adaptable to a variety of situations, as do High Speed Sync, Rear Curtain Sync, and TTL capability. Speaking of TTL, the FJ400 radio receiver is compatible with many Canon, Nikon, Sony (with adapter), FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras, as well as the Canon RT flash system. With separate purchase of the FJ-X2m Universal Wireless Trigger, you can make power and exposure compensation adjustments at distances up to 985'. The wireless system offers 32 channels with six groups to prevent interference with other photographers or to shoot several individual setups.
The FJ400 runs on a powerful, removable 14.8V, 4400mAh lithium-ion polymer battery that will give you 480 full and thousands of low-power flashes on a 2.5-hour charge. The battery has LED status indicators to keep you appraised of remaining power. A 20W LED modeling light is employed for minimal power drain. Alternatively, when you're shooting in the studio you can run the flash head with AC current using the included adapter. The FJ400 ships with a magnetic 5.5" reflector with three CTO filters to match other fixtures, warm ambient light conditions, or just for creative expression. A magnetic diffusion filter is included to soften the output, as is an insert that allows use of any of Westcott's Rapid Box Switch softboxes. A custom-made travel case is also provided for storage and transport.
