Westcott FJ200 Overview

Employing the familiar, intuitive monolight form factor, Westcott has rolled out the FJ200 Strobe with power, fast response, and the asset of a removable, rechargeable, lithium-ion polymer battery that will give you 450 full-power flashes on a 2-hour charge. The FJ200 has a 9-stop power range in 0.1 stop increments and recycles in a fast 0.5 to 1.3 seconds. It is backed by a 1/20,000 peak action-stopping flash duration in Freeze Mode, is capable of 20 fps, and supports High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000 second as well as front and rear curtain sync.

One of the FJ200's exciting features is its TTL option. The flash has an integrated 16-channel, 32-group, 2.4 GHz receiver that with separate purchase of an FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger or FJ80 Universal Speedlight, will accept TTL signals at distances up to 328' from Canon, Nikon, Sony (with adapter), FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras. The flash has a 5/8" receiver to mount on industry-standard light stands, as well as a USB-C port for Windows and Mac firmware updates. Westcott generously provides a reflector, travel case, 30-degree grid, and a USB cable.

I wanted this kit for location shoots. It was convenient and the light worked like it should. I still have to test it when the WiFi is spotty or none at all.

See any errors on this page?

What are the flash durations at each power level?

What are the flash durations at each power level?
Asked by: Michael
Westcott does not list the flash duration of the Westcott FJ200 Strobe at all power settings. They only list the maximum and minimum flash duration, showing the t0.1 flash duration measurement (when the light is emitting 90% of total light) in normal mode is 1/260 second at full power and 1/2600 second at minimum power, and in freeze mode, the flash duration at minimum output is 1/7000 second. At the t0.5 measurement (when the light is emitting 50% of total light), at normal mode, the flash duration would be 1/800 second at full power and 1/8000 second at minimum output power, while at freeze mode, the duration at minimum output would be 1/20,000 second. For flash duration measurement at other output settings, you would have to contact Westcott directly by e-mailing them at [email protected] or by calling them toll-free at 1-800-886-1689 Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm ET.

what softbox can I use this light? I have 2 FJ200s and the bowens bracket also.
Asked by: Venkata
If you already own the Westcott Quick Mount S-Bracket, B&H # WE2543, for use with the Westcott FJ200 Strobe, you may use any softbox that uses the Bowens S-mount speed ring. The following link are softboxes that would be compatible for use with the above bracket. https://bhpho.to/3CTACF3 As the Westcott FJ200 Strobe also has an umbrella receptacle, the umbrella-mount softboxes on the following link would also be compatible for your usage needs. https://bhpho.to/46rwppF

Can this work as a slave ?

Can this work as a slave ?
Asked by: rochelle
If the Westcott FJ200 Strobe is set to Manual mode, you may use the built-in optical sensor to fire the strobe once it detects the light output from another photographic strobe/flash. Likewise, if you connect the Westcott FJ-X2m Universal Flash Trigger to your camera's hot shoe, you may wirelessly trigger the Westcott FJ200 using the wireless radio remote as the FJ200 has a built-in integrated FJ Wireless Flash System radio receiver.

Somebody asked if this uses a Bowens mount and someone replied yes. But I watched an FStoppers video for this light and Lee said it uses a smaller proprietary mount. This looks very similar to the new Godox AD300 Pro which uses a proprietary Godox mount. So which mount is this light actually using? Could it be the same as the AD300 Pro?
Asked by: Bill
Correct..the FJ200 (Jinbei HD-200pro) does not have a Bowens mount.. The mount is a 72mm diameter fitting with 4 locking tabs, as opposed to the full sized Bowens mount that has only 3 tabs.
