Westcott continues to expand its ever-growing lineup of legendary lighting tools with the addition of two new flash units and a portable light modifier. Introducing the Westcott FJ100 On-Camera Speedlight and Studio Strobes and the Octa 15.
The FJ100 Speedlight is an on-camera flash that features a touchscreen display similar to what we saw on the FJ80 II—though the FJ100 arrives in a noticeably smaller form factor. The FJ100 offers 575 full-power flashes per charge, outperforming many of its contemporaries. What further sets this light apart is its compatibility.
Joining Westcott’s latest speedlight is its sister unit, the FJ100 Strobe. This is an off-camera light with even more power and versatility that’s comparable to models like the FJ400II. With an industry-leading 700+ full-power flashes per charge, the FJ100 strobe is an incredible choice for wedding and portrait photographers.
What makes this pairing even more advantageous is that they share the same battery. Now, photographers on the job can have a complete, unified lighting kit with just one set of batteries. Simply keep a spare battery or two in your pocket, and when one light goes down, there’s no running to find the right one. Simply swap it out and keep shooting.
Now for the Octa 15, a portable octobox that opens in mere seconds. This modifier pairs exceptionally well with the Westcott ProGrip 2 for run-and-gun operations. It features the Westcott Twist Lock mounting system, so it’s compatible with all compact lights from the manufacturer (FJ80-SE, FJ80 II, FJ100, FJ200, and L60-B).
Both FJ100 variations are stellar tools for photographers looking for a simplified lighting system, or those just looking to keep their kit more compact. Pair either of these lights with the Octa 15 and you have an incredibly versatile setup for nearly all small scall portraiture and event shoots.
