In this video, we'll play with the Westcott FJ80 II and show you why two speed lights and a trigger may be all you need!
Check them out:

This is not a paid ad. Westcott did let us borrow the lights to showcase and try, so I could give them a spin and share my thoughts.

I have the FJ80 original. Bought it when I was shooting Canon. Now that I’m Fuji, no problem. Just changed brand on flash and away we go. The original FJ80 is bigger and now that the FJ80 II is out and smaller, it would be nice on the smaller Fuji camera. Thanks for the video! And yes Westcott is amazing!

Hi Omar, thanks for the great video! Very interessting and comprehensive. Just a question: for my Fuji I have a Nissin flash and for my Sony a Godox as they work perfectly with each camera system. Would the Westcott's flash work with those when I want to use two flashes with a system? Thanks and thumbs up Martin

@ColinRobertson_LLAP
@ColinRobertson_LLAP Год назад
Seems like a nice alternative to Godox if you're just getting started. I haven't used one but they seem nice-the godox stuff I use is a little janky but they do work well. If I hadn't already invested in that system I'd probably be really torn. The wescott flash gear seems a lot more in line with Profoto in terms of 'niceness', although at a much more realistic price.
@tmsmqwx
@tmsmqwx Год назад
The Westcott is going to be just as janky as your Godox because, despite Westcott's refusal to acknowledge it, the FJ 80 series is a re-branded Jinbei HD-2 from China.

Good review. With my Nikon Z6II (and other Nikon Zs as well), there would be no need to turn the flash off to take an ambient-light shot. I set my No. 1 Fn button to cancel the flash. So if I have a flash mounted, and I want to take an ambient-light shot, I press the Fn1 with my middle finger, while firing the shutter with my index finger. Very convenient.

I just got a couple fj400s. Super fast to boot up unlike the speedlights. However, I recommend just putting them to SLP with the trigger rather than turning them off. Much faster.
@FerdinandTerreros

It's nice that Westcott is a great American company that's been around for over 100 years, and there's certainly something to be said for being able to get someone on the phone. Too bad they won't acknowledge that their FJ series is re-badged Chinese brand Jinbei.

In Europe the brand is Jinbei HD-2 max. Got everything from Godox but the light quality from de Jinbei/Westcott is better. I have it with me when I just need a flash and I really like it. Pity that Jinbei/Westcott don't make an AD200 pro [same shape] because then I might have to switch completely.

I needed this video thank you so much! Only question I have is... will the universal trigger work with other brands of flashes like Godox/flashpoint?
@ogonzilla
@ogonzilla Год назад
Yes. You just have to attach the Godox to a Westcott wireless receiver so the Godox can receive the Westcott signal.
@justpray365

Not bad, but Godox/Flashpoint came out years ago with good stuff. I’m already committed to the Godox system and it works. If I were just starting out, I would have to do more research.

Thanks, Omar. Actually, I use my old film-era Nikon flash SB-26 on modern Nikon, Sony, Fuji and mFT in manual or auto mode (no TTL even on digital Nikon), so there is no surprise Westcott would also work this way. It is all about trigger or adapter that would make it work in TTL mode on any camera.
@jpdj2715
@jpdj2715 Год назад
Note that the FJ trigger for example does not work in TTL mode with the Nikon Z 6ii/7ii and Z 9 cameras. It's not clear to me why but these cameras could be too fast or they have a protocol (*) variant between camera and flash that the trigger developers have not properly understood yet. Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic, and Sony all have exceptions that will only work in Manual mode. (*) protocol - the formal "language" between these devices
@ogonzilla
@ogonzilla Год назад
TTL worked on the Nikon for me although it was on Westcott's "no" list. Go figure.
@jpdj2715
@jpdj2715 Год назад
@@ogonzilla - note that it's about mk ii. That said, I have a similar observation with my Z 7ii and PocketWizard FlexTT5 radio transceivers. Not supported, too fast, and yet it works. Potentially Nikon made a change in a recent firmware update.

The Profoto-style integer system is cool, but good that it can be changed to stops. Lots of accessories including the popular S-type Bowens mount bracket. Relatively affordable, made in USA. Tech support with actual humans is great, although in fairness, Godox does answer questions via email. Terrific review of a very cool flash. I’ll definitely buy The Omar when it’s released. ;)
