No one has passion about the sandbags like Mr Seth. Respect 🤜🏾
Thanks Ant gotta hammer in proper safe set etiquette in this time of shooters who may be self taught beyond Learning from assisting non working sets ya know? Hope you’re doing well
Sweet!! I’ve been looking to upgrade my studio lights - and Westcott is now in play that they’ve expanded their strobe offerings
Wow. I learned a bunch from you just "throwing" stuff around and trying different setups. I'm a hobbiest and haven't committed to any brand, but this range of Westcott lights has me sold. Thanks, Seth!
The FJ400 is fantastic! I've had one since around March and it's a total winner!
I purchased the whole gamut of this system. I love it. The fit and finish are exquisite, and the functionality is streamlined and simple! The quality is there. They really have thought about accessories and options for each of these lights. Wescott has managed to develop a magic product series that works incredibly, if not effortlessly together with one another.
Nice! Really showed the range of the gear and possibilities.
Do I know you...?
@@LastXwitness lol
I recently acquired a FJ400 and fell in love with it. And now I am thrilled with the expanded options. I am optimistic about this news and am surely going to be expanding on this brand. thank you for this video. Very clear and fun way to showcase the new options.
Great Job running us through this system. now I want to try it.
I’m sure you can get your hands on some of it lol you use every brand out there as it is
With these consumer/prosumer level flashes the Chinese companies have basically killed all US competition with lower prices and better technologies over the past half decade. One thing US companies still have over the Chinese flash companies is their brand power and marketing in the American market.
When you can't compete with your own products, I guess it makes sense they go down this route, leveraging what you are good at to make more bucks... only thing that rubs me the wrong way is how hard they are trying to hide the fact their flashes are not only made in China, but also designed and developed in China, by a completely different company.
I picked up a single FJ400 earlier this year and absolutely love it! Was really hoping they were going to expand on this new system and i'm VERY happy to see these two new additions. Also awesome to see Seth put it through it's paces. Well done Seth, Westcott and Adorama!
Thanks so much really appreciate that glad you’re enjoying your lights be sure to tag adorama in whatever you post and use #createnomatterwhat !
I plan to get the FJ400 and that FJ80 looks nice
Wow..... thanks Seth!! Nice to see what Westcott has to offer. Really gets me to reconsider my flash gear... this could hurt the wallet a bit. The only thing is, my current system has the 1/4-20 option. Had it for years. I'm currently using Cactus.
Hey Mike hope you’re well!
@@LastXwitness I'm well... thank you for asking. Keep making these vids! Seeing you flow from one aspect to another is very encouraging. Nice work by the way. You're the Man!
This is great! That's a cool looking speedlight. Thanks Seth!!!
Thanks Patty! It’s interesting
It would have been interesting to see how these are different from say the Jinbei HD400 Pro that were released in 2019, or the Jinbei HD-2 or Jinbei HD-200.
Looks to be best strobe kit line for 2021.. so far
Sounds like Wescott names their strobes after Toyota Landcruisers.
Haha I thought the same thing
Pretty awesome vehicles if you ask us.. 😉
@@WestcottLighting these strobes better last forever, too!
good job Westcott,good job Seth !
Thank you so much I really appreciate that
I like the universal shoe mount. Also screw mount to the light is great, I remember this concept in Cactus system. Thanks for introduction
Great line of products! Thanks for doing this step by step demonstration Seth Miranda, its good to see what is new in gear that is portable as well as battery operated. On an average many Photographers work in not so ideal situations but we all make it work and with Gear like this it makes it easier to do it. Thanks ADORAMA for having someone of the level of Seth Miranda showing how to use all the great products you carry in your wonderful store! Happy Holidays to all.
I really appreciate that thank you so much! And happy holidays to you as well
Looks really Good - I wished I'd not bought all that Godox stuff...
Was it just video out of phase or did the 200 & 400 not fire a lot?
It fired I can honestly say during this video I had no misfires jsut frame rates and shutter speeds out of sync with the milliseconds of the strobe for this one it happens
I've been using Westcott modifiers for a few years now. Interesting to see their range of strobes. Love that you not only use a C-stand, but you use a gorilla pod and even a chair for a light stand. Proves your level of creativity in utilizing gear. Thanks for the informative video.
That chair held that light where I needed it. Same job a stand would do lol. Building on core principles instead of trying to remember step by step formulas that don’t always apply is not a great way to grow

WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE OUTPUT OF THE FJ200 AND THE 53" AS THE KEY LIGHT.
Thanks dude, awesome material 👍
Thank you so much
This is fantastic. It was a lot of fun to see a pro at work. I got a clear understand of some of the significant issues involved ini off-camera flash. Okay I'm 78 and am just getting started with strobes. This was a good start. And. So I'll buy something from Adorama.
Thank you for making this video really helps on what light source I want to purchase (all of them lol) great vid
dude, great video! Thanks a lot
great video
Awesome video... thanks for the info! 👍🏼👍🏼
Great presentation Seth !
🙏 thank you!
At first, I thought, "Oh great, another system to compete with Profoto, but don't we already have that in Godox/Flashpoint?" It's not always about ideas; sometimes it's about execution, and it sure looks like Westcott got a lot of things right. My photography habit has evolved over the past couple of years with the Flashpoint system. Ecstatic that I could finally afford larger monolights, formerly unattainable by most amateurs without major means, I've managed to learn a ton, but I have to admit I've always lusted after those Profoto B-lights I'd see on all professional photo sets. There's a reason pros use them--robust construction, clean design, professional finish, and consistency--and they cost a lot of money for a reason. That's why Profoto hasn't had to drop prices dramatically to compete with Godox and Flashlight, because in the commercial realm there isn't any competition. Godox and Flashpoint certainly have a place in the industry, and I've deeply appreciated their impact on my photography...BUT, as a big fan of clean design, I have never liked the feel of anything produced by Godox/Flashpoint with the exception of the AD200's, which are a delight. Almost every other unit, and I own them all, has construction flaws, terrible menu systems, nomenclature, and clunky aesthetics. In short, they feel chintzy compared to the Profoto system, and anyone honest with themselves will admit that.
But this Westcott strobe system seems like a real alternative to Profoto, which I simply cannot afford at this time. They look beautifully designed and the price-point is exactly in line with Godox/Flashpoint. Wow, looking forward to my next visit to NYC, where I can see these in person.
Great looking strobes and very clear displays
Yea the speedlight has a real large bright display for sure havnt tried it out in the daylight tho
@@LastXwitness I think 🤔 even I could see it. And eh what's this thing you call daylight 😁😁 I am from darkest frozen Scotland
Controllers are so nice.
Cool light
Here’s some more fun stuff. I updated all my Orlit branded 400 lights and the transmitter with Westcott’s most current firmware. You guessed it. It accepted the firmware updates and all the new function/features work as promised - for the Westcott transmitter. Now, my FJ200 is connecting to the Orlit T7 transmitter. 🙌🏻
That speedlight screen looks like an advantage but the way photographers pack stuff am sure it will break in a week or during a shoot
Yea it might not be for the work horse traveling photographer it’s a concern but we also havnt seen these in the wild too much. If it were me I’d prolly treat them like I do anything else that’s got a sensitive surface in my bag if it’s getting jammed in a case I hear you though
Well done Westcott.
Nice video shoot great ideas and I noticed Seth putting a dome on the FJ200 even though its already got an extended flash tube - I usually put a Stofen type diffuser on my regular rectangular head speedlites to extend and do like 360° of light in an umbrella or softbox -
Well actually not an “extended tube” in the sense of it acting like a bare bulb style that protrudes like older style heads so the dome helped blow light around inside the umbrella to cover all that surface more evenly before leaving the diffuser sock
Is the FJ200 a rebranded Jinbei EF-200?
pretty much
AD100 Reveal hell yeah!
Aww man this is the Jinbei adaptation!
Great video. Do you know if the Westcott Magnetic Diffusion Dome fit also the Godox AD200Pro?
What about quality of light vs Profoto?
Thanks for the informative video. When you shot with the white background did you fire the FJ200 along with the FJ400 or just the FJ400?
So this is basically a Jinbei light with a different Wescott sticker on it?
congratulations for your videos I have two questions I have the fj 80 fj 200 the fj 400 but I cannot configure it as my sony camera to 7111 and to 6600 I think I have to do some configuration in the camera THE SECOND QUESTION HOW TO CONFIGURE THE FLASH AND THE CAMERA WITH 2 OR 3 FLASH THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP
If you can shoot with Lumix, can you use the Lumix for the Leica SL/2?
Seth are you mounting the FJ400 on a standard 5/8 Baby pin? I'm thinking my C-stand must have a non-standard baby pin. The pin doesn't fit in the handle of my FJ400.
I love the one fj400 I have. Westcott, make a more powerful strobe! Please? :) fj800 comes along and I consolidate my studio to, what I see, an extremely versatile system.
Seems they are adding to the line pretty fast and they definitely listen to the user base they have a Facebook community group actually yoh can join and let them know you’re hoping for a higher power unit
You can buy the Orlit RT 610 from Adorama it will work with your FJ light and has 600w. There is also an ORLIT RoveLight RT 800AC with 800w power that is from the same family of lights
May I ask, what is the zoom range on the FJ80 speedlight?
Seth Miranda, how often do you get a misfire? Nice work on your videos.
Is the recycle time of lights an issue? Too often Seth is clicking but nothing was triggering. Nice shots though
Jinbei is the next Godox 😂
Jinbei is amazing!
Jinbei was first - DC500 battery powered flash (porty) was released years before the name Godox was known.. But Jinbei lost customer's trust with bad electronics and bad batteries. Not sure if they fixed their quality issues on batteries. Some people tell about their Jinbei batteries are blowing up. Not good.
❤ 18:42
It is re-branded of Jinbie for US? Same as Flashpoint in US (Adorama) which is Godox from China manufacturing, am I right?
While this is a year ago, one thing I noticed is the diffuser dome locks into place on the FJ200. I recently purchased the FJ200 and the "Diffuser Dome with FJ80 adapter". It says it fits both the FJ80 and FJ200 with a magnetic connector. However, on the FJ200 it does not click and sit down in a groove like it does on the FJ80. Needless to say, if the light is bumped and moved quickly, the diffuser falls off. Thankfully it's made of a durable plastic - since it falls off so easily! Seth / Adorama? Got any suggestions? I can not find a bracket for the FJ200. If this is the case, then this is a piss-poor solution for an otherwise well performing product.
Nice Jinbie product OEM for Westcott.
What about brundown time recycletime? What about Bowens Adapter?
Everybody sees how well godox has done and they're jumping onboard with a similar system. The days of pocket wizards are gone.
Well there’s def still applications for pocket wizard systems it’s just now you’re more likely to have integrated radios but for other systems whether they be older like my Speedotrons which give 2400ws blitz of light for some large format/alternative processes or even to tap into systems via sync that may have a radio built in but enable you to do more like multipop, longer range , cycle groups on and off per shot for diff looks and Much more. They may not be as much of a given but they are far from gone in my opinion..& also it’s more like there’s quite a gap in the market for options when it’s high end profoto that I rely on or more budget friendly flashpoint etc. more players in the space keep more progression of features and price point variety for us as the users in fact most of what profoto has put out first over the years has trickled down into most of the designs we are seeing today
Jinbei400 rebranded as Wescott FJ400?
I'm a club & event photographer. The ONLY thing I care about is the autofocus assist beam of the FJ80. What does it look like?
Go seth....
is he using the same trigger for all lights?
I’m trying to connect four FJ400’s but my Westcott trigger only lets me do two. It won’t connect to the other two so I can use them at Group C and D. Anyone know anything about this? Or am i stopped at two FJ400’s only?
Am I the only one that notice he cut himself and is bleeding lol? Great Video though! I have the fj400 looking into buying the fj200 now!
What is the compatibility with the lights with the jinbei/ orlit system?
they are very compatible ...since they are the same thing...different name!!!!
@@MrDvaz actually the trigger does not work with the Jinbei/ orlit system & vice versa. Glad i held off on buying into the system since i was looking for something with a 1200ws in their system. Ended up moving to Elinchrom for my studio.
What is the Guide number of the FJ80, FJ200 and FJ400?
Since the Wescott FJ series and Orlit/Jinbei are all "in the family" - will they all talk to each other? Meaning will an Orlit trigger work with a Westcott FJ light and vice versa?
Yes the Orlit lights will work with Westcott lights just make sure you have the Orlit TR-Q7 remote not the Q6
I’m having A hard time connecting my fj80 to the fj-x2m HELP ME
Do they have a modeling light?
...I did show the modeling light through the whole video jsut about from the zooming head to the way I set the umbrella etc
These are just rebranded Jinbei lights
that's simply not true - the reviews and the specs will tell you that...
Pretty much, Robert Hall Photography pretty exposed this whole thing on his channel
Godox will have to up there game
**HSS & Nikon issue** Anyone having trouble with Nikon D750 and Westcott FJ200 (FJ-X3m trigger)in HSS? Tried all the settings on both and can't shoot over 250. Thanks fellow shutter bugs!
man, I just bought the entire godox ecosystem lol
hey dear you got the pinch on you finger ... it was bleeding ...
FJ80 looks like Jinbei rebrand
Hello
Hi! Can I get the info on the lightstand your using?
This seems like Wescott is trying to build a lighting ecosystem similar to what Godox has done but with more features!
Any legitimate lighting company puts together a line as a system it been that way forever with brands to piece together how you need instead of no name brands that put out a light with zero support so this is westcott showing they are committed to bringing their version and also bringing their killer customer support/warranty with it
It looks all a little bit like a Godox copy.
Eat it, Godox :)
