What Modifiers can I use With the FJ100 Strobe, FJ250, FJ400 II and FJ800Updated 9 hours ago

The FJ800, FJ400 II, and FJ250 are compatible with Bowens S-type modifiers and incorporate a unique mounting system for umbrellas, allowing photographers to achieve optimal light spread and quality.

The FJ100 Strobe is designed with a twist-lock mount and a detachable tilt bracket with an umbrella receptacle. The Quick-Mount S-Bracket is recommended for the FJ100 when using modifiers heavier than 1.3lbs.


Bowens S-Type Compatibility:

  • The FJ800, FJ400 II and FJ250 accept Bowens S-type modifiers and speedrings.
  • Extended flash tube placement ensures optimal light spread, especially when used with modifiers like Westcott Rapid Boxes.

Twist Lock Compatibility

  • The FJ100 Strobe can accept FJ Westcott Twist Lock Modifiers under 1.3lbs
  • For Bowens mount or modifiers heavier than 1.3 lbs, the Quick-Mount S-Bracket is recommended.

Umbrella and Umbrella-Style Modifiers:

  • The FJ800, FJ400 II, FJ250 and FJ100 Strobe feature an umbrella mounting system with a tensioning device.

    • Adjustable Tensioner:
      • Secures larger umbrellas while providing a safety release in strong winds.
      • Protects the umbrella shaft from indentation due to over-tightening.
    • Hexagonal Shaft:
      • The Westcott collapsible umbrellas fit partially into the receptacle, allowing for secure mounting without sliding through completely.
