Westcott FJ80 II M Multi-Brand Touchscreen 80Ws Speedlight (2024) Review

The Westcott FJ80 II M is an 80Ws speedlight designed for multi-brand compatibility, featuring TTL support across Canon, Fujifilm, Four Thirds, Nikon, and Sony systems. Its 2.8-inch LCD touchscreen offers a modern interface for controlling flash settings, including a 9-stop power range and High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000 second. The included rechargeable battery provides over 500 full-power flashes, supporting continuous capture rates up to 20 frames per second.

Weighing 1.33 lbs without the battery, the unit offers a competitive recycle time of 0.05 to 1.5 seconds. Wireless control is possible via radio up to 328 feet, with 31 channels and 16 groups. The inclusion of a modeling light and broad flash head articulation (0 to +90 degrees vertical, 360 degrees horizontal) adds to its versatility, though it lacks an off-camera terminal or external power pack compatibility.

While offering broad multi-brand TTL and a robust wireless system, the absence of a guide number specification and external power options might be a consideration for some users. Its mobile app compatibility, requiring a separate adapter, also adds an extra step for remote control.
