You (probably at the request of Westcott) forgot to mention that this is simply a re-brand of the Jinbei HD-400 Pro. There is a complete ecosystem when you reveal the real manufacturer of the product because they have tons of flashes that work together. It's not nice to withhold information from your audience because Westcott doesn't want people to know that it didn't actually develop and manufacture this re-branded Jinbei flash.

Would a jinbei flash work with a Westcott flash ?

@jimmyhill9591 4 года назад

The built in AC adapter, the almost universal remote and the price certainly make it a serious competitor to the Godox/Flashpoint equivalent for those who shoot in studio or on location exclusively with monolights. The only real disadvantage I see, which you mentioned and is a big deal for me personally, is Godox has a much larger ecosystem that includes speedlights. If Westcott comes out with speedlights to work with this light, I may just consider switching.

@jimfeldman4035 4 года назад

yeah, it's a serious competitor. I'd like to see where they go with the line before I think of swapping from Godox/FP

@AutoAt 4 года назад

this one is a re-labeled jinbei, so there is a similar ecosystem here...

@jimmyhill9591 4 года назад

@@AutoAt Adorama started importing and selling Jinbei lights under their own 'Orlit' name(I looked at the Orlit Rover RT/Jinbei Mars-3 300ws pack and head system some time ago but lack of speedlights in the lineup swayed me toward Flashpoint). It now appears they have all but abandoned the Orlit brand, not expanding their line up, and moved to Flashpoint(rebranded Godox) lights instead. I could order Jinbei speedlights from overseas, but dealing with Chinese companies for warranty issues is very problematic to say the least. That is why I went with the Flashpoint system. Adorama handles the warranty on their branded versions domestically. IF Westcott starts importing compatible speedlights and such under their own name, and handles warranty issues themselves as Adorama does, THEN it will be a more serious competitor for US buyers like myself.

It's the newer version of the Orlit 400. Seems to have a few upgrades from the older version. Rebranded for westcott.

@jpdj2715 4 года назад

1/32 power - if this is a rebranded Jinbei as others say, it should be able to go from 1 to 9 power (on manual). That means 8 F-stops adjustment. 2 to the power 8 is 256, so it should be able to go to 1/256 power. If each 1..9 full stop equals an exact f-stop difference. Generally, if a flash supports some form of TTL, it may be able to go much lower.
