Is the Westcott FJ400 flash actually a 600?

6/19/2023 Matt 0 Comments

 

"The Westcott FJ400 photography flash strobe should NOT be compared with a Godox AD400 because it is actually a Godox AD600 clone"- explains MarkusPix. - "It's the exact same size, shape and power output as it's 600 competitor- when using the same Godox Bowens mount reflector, not the reflector the FJ400 comes with.
