Westcott - FJ250 250Ws Touchscreen Strobe with FJ-X3 M Universal Trigger (1-Light Backpack Kit)

Created for extended, faster shoots, and motion-freezing clarity, the FJ250 delivers 250Ws, fast response times, and the benefit of a swappable FJ Pro battery for 850 full-power flashes—the highest number per charge in its class. Featuring a sophisticated design that employs an intuitive full-color OLED touchscreen, a native Bowens mount, and a bi-color LED modeling light, the FJ250 replaces the popular FJ200 unit with user-requested improvements, such as group indicator color lighting and the same convenient AC/DC battery system as the advanced FJ400 II and FJ800 models. With total compatibility across the FJ wireless system, the FJ250 simplifies studio or location workflows so you can capture every moment with precision.

 

 

Offering a modern and intuitive full-color OLED touchscreen, Westcott's new built-in help screen guide assists photographers of all levels of experience. Portable and easy-to-use, the FJ250 lets you focus on creating instead of navigating complex menus. Another highlight is a native Bowens S-type mount for attaching your favorite modifiers and the inclusion of an insert for quick attachment of the included Octa-S softbox and other separately available Rapid Box Switch modifiers. The supplied softbox provides soft, flattering light with fast setup. The FJ250 is Westcott's most portable off-camera flash unit, intentionally designed to keep up with demanding shoots.

 

 

The FJ250's 9-stop power range (0.98 - 250Ws) in 0.1 and 1.0 increments makes it readily adaptable to a variety of situations. The flash head is backed by a 1/29,600 peak action-stopping flash duration in a t0.5 freeze sync mode, is capable of 50 fps (camera and power dependent), and supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second as well as front and rear curtain sync. Users can also adjust flash exposure compensation (FEC ) by +/-3. Precise adjustments enable full lighting control.

 

 

Just as the advanced models of the FJ strobe line, the FJ250 also packs interesting features. In addition to basic manual and TTL flash modes, other handy settings are available, such as the Westcott Creative Mask feature, a great asset for high-volume and fast-paced shoots. This functionality gives photographers the ability to create up to six lighting combinations without moving the fixtures. Thanks to the FJ250's touchscreen, users can easily control when each light fires in a sequence to capture multiple dynamic looks from a single setup.

 

The FJ250 is part of Westcott's 2.4 GHz FJ wireless system, meaning it can work with all FJ triggers and flashes for a cohesive lighting ecosystem. Control your setup with the included FJ-X M trigger, the optional FJ-T1 trigger, the FJ80 speedlight, and find compatibility with major camera brands. The Westcott StudioLink app also offers wireless adjustments and advanced functionality directly from your smartphone.

 

 

The flash head has an integrated 31-channel, 16-group, 2.4 GHz wireless radio frequency with a range of 328'. The wireless system prevents interference with other photographers and allows several individual setups.

 

 

The FJ250 runs on a powerful, removable 29.6V, 74Wh, 2500mAh AC/DC lithium-ion battery that will give you 850 full and thousands of low-power flashes on a 1.5-hour charge. The included FJ Pro battery has LED status indicators to keep you apprised of remaining power. Users can also decide to purchase the separately available FJ ProMax battery with higher capacity to achieve up to 1400 flashes at full power. The FJ250's shared battery compatibility with the advanced FJ400 II/FJ800 units eliminates the need for multiple power solutions, while a convenient AC trickle-charge functionality ensures uninterrupted performance during extended sessions.

 

 

A 12W LED modeling light is employed with bi-color adjustability from 2700 to 6500K, which allows easy framing and composition for more professional results.

 

 

This monolight has a Bowens S front and comes with a 5/8" tilting bracket to mount on separately available light stands, as well as a 9mm umbrella receptacle. Also, a USB-C port is present for firmware updates using the included USB-C cable.

 

 

Separately available accessories across the FJ line system, including shared AC/DC batteries, chargers, and modifiers, are also compatible with the FJ400 II and FJ800, eliminating the need for multiple power and accessory solutions. The FJ250 ships with a magnetic 5.5" reflector and a gel set (CTO, 1/2-CTO, window green, and diffusion). An insert is also provided to allow the use of the included Octa-S softbox and other optional Westcott Rapid Box Switch modifiers. Finally, a backpack is supplied to facilitate storage and transportation. The backpack features convenient gear compartments, removable dividers, and padded straps.
