Using the Westcott Studio Link AppUpdated 8 days ago

How do I Connect my FJ-X2 or FJ-X3 Trigger to the Westcott StudioLink App?

You can connect FJ-X triggers to the StudioLink App by enabling Bluetooth® on the trigger and selecting it from the app’s FJ Controls menu. Once paired, you can control supported speedlights and strobes through your phone's app!

The app uses reliable Bluetooth® communication to make remote adjustments faster than navigating menus on-device. This is especially helpful on set when managing multiple groups and channels.

To connect:

1. Power on the FJ-X2 or FJ-X3.
2. Ensure Bluetooth® is enabled on the trigger (Detailed below).
3. Open the StudioLink app.
4. Select FJ Wireless Controls.
5. Choose your trigger/light from the list of available devices.

See our Using FJ Wireless with the Westcott StudioLink App video for more information.

Note: Be sure you add as many groups as needed. If you have a 3-light setup with each light on a different group, 3 corresponding groups must be added.
