Westcott FJ400 Overview

the FJ400 Strobe 1-Light Backpack Kit with FJ-X3m Universal Wireless Trigger from Westcott is a comprehensive assemblage that combines the FJ400 Strobe with accessories that allow you to make the most of the fixture. The kit contains the FJ400 Strobe with battery, a diffusion dome, AC adapter and cord, magnetic reflector, magnetic gel set, FJ-X3m flash trigger, two USB cables, and a Rapid Box Octa-S and insert. A Lite Traveler Backpack is included to carry it all.

The FJ400 Strobe has power, fast response, and the asset of a removable, rechargeable, lithium-ion battery that will give you 480 full-power flashes on a two-hour charge. The FJ400 has a nine-stop power range in 0.1 stop increments and recycles in a fast 0.5 to 0.9 seconds. It is backed by a 1/19,000 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 FJ400's exciting features is its TTL option. The flash has an integrated 2.4 GHz receiver that has 16 channels, and 32 groups that with an FJ-X3m trigger will accept TTL signals at a distances up to 985' 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.

Please resolve the conflicting answers about Canon ST-E3-RT compatibility: One staff answer says YES ST-E3-RT will trigger the FJ400. But another answer says NO, Westcott has now disabled this compatibility. So which is it?
Asked by: Eric
Westcott has not disabled this compatibility. The ST-E3-RT DOES in face operate the FJ400 Strobe. It is done simply by matching groups, channels, and ID number of the ST-E3-RT and that of the FJ400.

Can you run this off AC power without the battery attached?
Asked by: Elizabeth
No, the AC power input is on the back of the battery. This allows you to charge the battery while shooting, so that you have a full battery when you want to be more portable.
