Westcott FJ400 II 400Ws Touchscreen Strobe: Westcott’s Fastest 400Ws Monolight
Westcott continues to expand its FJ line with the introduction of the FJ400 II 400Ws Touchscreen Strobe with FJ Pro AC/DC Battery, now the brand’s fastest 400Ws monolight. This second-generation FJ400 offers significant upgrades, ensuring both speed and reliability with recycle times as fast as 0.01-0.9 seconds.

The FJ400 II boasts design improvements including a 30W bi-color LED modeling light and a full-color OLED touchscreen for intuitive and straightforward onboard control. Beyond these enhancements, it features advanced settings like a Freeze mode for incredibly fast flash durations and a Creative Mask feature for enhanced efficiency. Users will also benefit from flexible AC/DC power options with the included interchangeable FJ Pro battery, which provides up to 550 full-power flashes per charge. Weighing just 5.3 lb, the FJ400 II is a compact, lightweight, and rapid strobe lighting solution, offering superb portability for any shoot.

Power & Performance
The FJ400 II’s broad 9-stop power range (1.56 – 400Ws), adjustable in 0.1 and 1.0 increments, makes it highly adaptable to various lighting scenarios. Its flash head boasts a 1/24,000 peak action-stopping flash duration in Freeze mode, is capable of 50 fps (camera and power dependent), and supports High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 second, along with front and rear curtain sync. You can also precisely adjust flash exposure compensation from -3 to +3 EV. The FJ400 II is built to excel in both studio and on-location shoots.

Creative Mask Mode
In addition to standard manual and TTL flash modes, the FJ400 II offers the innovative Westcott Creative Mask feature. This is a significant asset for high-volume and fast-paced shoots, allowing photographers to create up to six distinct lighting combinations without physically moving the fixtures. Thanks to the FJ400 II’s touchscreen, you can easily control when each light fires in a sequence, capturing multiple dynamic looks from a single setup.

Seamless Integration & Wireless Control
The FJ400 II is an integral part of Westcott’s 2.4 GHz FJ wireless system, ensuring seamless compatibility with all FJ triggers and flashes for a cohesive lighting ecosystem. Control your setup effortlessly with an optional FJ-X trigger for compatibility with major camera brands. For advanced functionality and wireless adjustments directly from your smartphone, the Westcott StudioLink app offers a powerful solution. The flash head features an integrated 31-channel, 16-group, 2.4 GHz wireless radio frequency with a robust range of 328′, preventing interference and allowing for multiple individual setups.

Versatile Power Solutions
The FJ400 II runs on a powerful, removable 29.6V, 2500mAh AC/DC lithium-ion battery, providing 550 full-power flashes and thousands of low-power flashes on a 1.5-hour charge. The included FJ Pro battery features LED status indicators to keep you informed of remaining power. For even higher capacity, the separately available FJ ProMax battery delivers up to 1000 flashes at full power. The FJ400 II’s shared battery compatibility with the FJ800 unit eliminates the need for multiple power solutions, while convenient AC trickle-charge functionality ensures uninterrupted performance during extended sessions.

Thoughtful Design & Accessories
An upgraded 30W bi-color LED modeling light, adjustable from 2700 to 6500K, is integrated for easy framing and composition. This monolight features a Bowens S front mount for wide modifier compatibility, a 5/8″ tilting bracket for mounting on light stands, and a 9mm umbrella receptacle. A USB-C port is present for firmware updates.

The FJ400 II ships with essential accessories, including a magnetic 5.5″ reflector with a gel set (CTO, 1/2-CTO, window green, and diffusion).
