The speedy yet powerful Westcott FJ800 800Ws Touchscreen Strobe features 0.01 to 1.8 second recycling times and a 9-stop power range to capture split-second moments.

This 5500K color calibrated strobe uses a self-monitoring cooling system to sustain peak performance while flashing at full power for uninterrupted shooting.

Enhanced to be light and fast with an intense flash, the Westcott FJ400 II 400Ws Touchscreen Strobe provides a 0.01-0.9 second recycling time with 1/24,000 second shutter speed capabilities in Freeze mode. With extremely reliable battery life and touchscreen controls, this 400W strobe can withstand busy on-location photoshoots.

The FJ400 II comes in a variety of kits, including a one and two-light FJ400 II backpack kit, a two-light location hard case kit, a one-light newborn portrait kit, and a portable two-light FJ400 II and FJ200 kit.

Create diversified lighting with a single setup; the new Creative Mask feature programs up to 6 lighting combinations to create differently lit images in a matter of seconds, all without moving the strobe. Through its touchscreen controls, photographers can capture more dynamic range while saving time on high-volume, fast-paced shoots.

When plug-in power isn’t an option, outdoor photographers depend on long-lasting batteries that can supply powerful outputs. The FJ800 and FJ400 II offer strong battery options to produce hundreds of brightly lit images. The compact and lightweight FJ Pro battery provides over 550 full-power FJ400 II flashes and over 250 full-power FJ800 flashes, and the FJ ProMax battery produces over 1,000 full-power FJ400 II flashes and over 500 full-power FJ800 flashes. When light can’t be compromised, the FJ400 II and FJ800 strobe batteries provide reliable power to sustain shooting.
