I recently purchased a new studio strobe given that my old faithful Godox AD200 recently took an unplanned SCUBA Dive! I had been thinking to replace it as it was not that powerful of versatile enough when trying to overpower the sun on sunset photoshoots here in Okinawa.
Cue the Westcott FJ400 Strobe. A versatile and cost effective strobe that works with the universal trigger system also from Westcott, the FJ-X2m.
This video looks at the strobe and runs through the complete menu options on both the strobe and the trigger systems.
