Overview

The FJ400-SE is designed to be versatile with a variety of light modifiers, enhancing its usability in different shooting scenarios. This strobe is compatible with Bowens S-type modifiers and incorporates a unique mounting system for umbrellas, allowing photographers to achieve optimal light spread and quality.


Bowens S-Type Compatibility:

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

Standard Accessories:

  • You can utilize standard hard reflectors and other accessories that employ the Bowens S-type mount.

Umbrella and Umbrella-Style Modifiers:

  • The FJ400-SE features a 9mm 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.

Light Spread Efficiency:

  • The included FJ400-SE magnetic reflector serves as a spill kill, enhancing the evenness of light spread.
  • For larger umbrellas, the Bowens-style rapid box insert also functions effectively as a spill kill reflector, contributing to uniform light distribution.
