the Westcott FJ200 Strobe Backpack Kit with FJ-X3m Triggeris a comprehensive assemblage that combines the FJ200 Strobe with accessories that allow you to make the most of the fixture. The kit contains an FJ200 Strobe with battery, a charger, an FJ-X3 wireless flash trigger, a tilter bracket, a magnetic grid and gel pack, a 5" reflector, two USB cables, a Rapid Box Switch Octa-S with insert, a snoot with honeycomb grid, and a Lite Traveler Backpack to carry it all.

The FJ200 Strobe has power, fast response, and the asset of a removable, rechargeable, lithium-ion polymer battery that will give you 450 full-power flashes on a two-hour charge. The FJ200 has a nine-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 2.4 GHz receiver that has 16 channels, and 32 groups that with separate purchase of an FJ-X3 trigger 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. what softbox can I use this light? I have 2 FJ200s and the bowens bracket also.

A: 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

Q: 2. Is ti compatible with Hasselblad model H & X?

A: As the Westcott FJ200 Strobe has a 3.5mm miniphone sync terminal on the flash unit, you may use a miniphone sync cable to connect the flash to your Hasselblad camera for your usage needs. Likewise, as the Hasselblad H and X Medium Format Digital Cameras have hot shoes, you may use the Westcott FJ-X2m Universal Flash Trigger for FJ400 Strobe, B&H # WEFJX2MUWLFT, to wirelessly trigger the Westcott FJ200 Strobe. However, do note that you would have to set the flash output power manually when using the Westcott FJ-X2m Universal Flash Trigger on the Hasselblad cameras listed above.

Q: 3. Would these be a good option for action sports?

A: The Westcott FJ400 400Ws Strobe is better suited for sports

Q: 4. Can this work as a slave ?

A: 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.

Q: 5. Is it compatible with Sony A7r?

A: Yes, the following unit is compatible with Sony and the other following manufactures Canon, Nikon, FUJIFILM, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus cameras. For Sony an adapter will be needed please review the following Westcott Sony Adapter for FJ-X2m Flash Trigger https://bhpho.to/2USb4py

Q: 6. What are the flash durations at each power level?

A: 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 sales@fjwestcott.com or by calling them toll-free at 1-800-886-1689 Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm ET.

Q: 7. Is there any way to link this to a Good X2TN?

A: No ! must use Westcott transmiter

Q: 8. Flashtube

A: The Westcott FJ200 Strobe BH #WE4740 uses the BH #WE4745 flashtube.

Q: 9. WIll it fit inside the Westcott Apollo Orb & Strip Bundle softboxes? Maybe barebulb?

A: I believe it will be a tight fit

Q: 10. Does it come with bowens mount?

[Proprietary] Easy strobe to use, lightweight, very portable, and has the power to create great light 5

Charlie	17/09/2024
[9-Stop Range] This small and simple-to-use flash sets up quickly and delivers a lot of power. I use this with my FJ400 or as a single flash. I use to use the FJ400 when I was shooting with just a single flash but this is powerful enough for most shoots and easy to carry and set up. 5

Charles	16/09/2024
[9-Stop Range] This strobe hits the sweet spot for most of the work I do in terms of power output and portability. I also own the FJ400 and the FJ80, but if I had to pick just one, this would be it. It is super-packable and can easily be handheld by an assistant, no problem. My favorite combination is this with the Rapid Box Switch, either the Octa-M or the Octa-S. Color consistency, battery life, and intuitive menu are great. Also great is that the FJ-X2M trigger is universal. I teach and I can pass the trigger around to students with different camera brands and still use High Speed Sync and TTL if I want to. 5

Margaret	26/08/2024
[0.5 to 1.3 Sec ] This strobe is everything I was hoping for. Light, portable, yet powerful enough for my needs, it is just flawless. And using it with the Westcott wireless trigger makes using it a dream. 5

Francisco	13/08/2024
[Proprietary] In the Westcott brand I have found quality in their strobes, first I bought the Fj 400 and I really liked its performance, so much so that I decided to purchase the Fj 200, both are excellent and easy to use, now I have an ally for my photographs. 5

Brian	05/08/2024
[Yes] I thought that it wouldn't be powerful enough but it completely was. Shot some portraits around 4pm with the sun out and still really bright and it gave me some great results! 5

Gary	12/07/2024
[0.5 to 1.3 Sec ] This strobes rounds out my kit that previously just included 2 400ws heads. It's handy to have a 200ws unit to light backgrounds or as a hair light. The strobe is compact and solidly built, with a good LCD screen and simple controls that get to the heart of your settings quickly. The battery that fits into the lower rear section of the strobe can hold over 400 full power pops (I haven't gone far above that so I don't know the total capacity). There's a separate charger so you'll be needing to remove the battery for that function. You cannot charge the battery in the strobe. An AC adapter is optional and it will require that you remove the battery to use it. Also part of the kit is a retaining ring that can hold colored gels (included) or the rigid baffle for light control. Perhaps the only negative is that you'll need the optional adapter to accept larger modifier mounts, such as the Bowens S. If you don't need that, then leave the light stand/pivot bracket on the strobe head that's included in the kit. Other standard parts in this set include a reflector, USB A to C cord for firmware updating, and a carry case. Recycle time is really fast, even after a full power burst. Remote control via the multi-camera FJ-X2m. All in all, this is a very competent, fairly priced strobe head. 5

John	06/07/2024
[Yes] The FJ200 is much smaller and lighter than the FJ400 but it still packs a punch in terms of lighting your subject (or background). I specifically added the FJ200 to my kit to light my background or to use as a hair light. Incredibly easy to use as a solo light or as a part of a larger set of lights using the Westcott transmitter. The modeling light is not as bright as the flash output but more than enough to give you a visual reference of where the light will hit your subject. 5

Gina	12/06/2024
[Yes] 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. 5

Rondell	29/05/2024
[Proprietary] I purchased this as an addition to my current setup of 2 FJ400 strobes. This light and portable and also packs a lot of power. This is a great addition to an existing setup or as a light for your first strobe purchase! 5
