Review

I'm quite happy with this!
Verified Purchase
I've only had it for about one week and after initial struggle connecting it to my Canon 430exIII and 600exII (i'm horrific with instructions) via my Canon 5Ds (I also have a 80d and 6D), I finally figured it out and can fire them both using same channel/different groups. I've yet to go out and "real world" use it but I think this will work GREAT!!! I'm very much looking forward to shooting. BTW, I'm semi-pro photographer level.
 
GREAT QUALITY PRODUCT!

Question:Will this work with Nikon SB-700 speed light?
Answer:It is a Wescott not a Nikon so no. I use mine with Wescott flashes and love it. I have the Fj80 and two of the 400 watt sec flashes.
 
Question:I tried updating fj-x2m trigger to the firmware to the 1.0.8 but when i plug the usb to my compute nothing popped up? how can i fix this?
Answer:With the power off on the FJ-X2m, hold down the top right button while making the connection to your computer. The red light on top of the trigger will turn on, yet the trigger itself will stay powered off. It will then show up as a drive on your computer and you can drag the .bin file onto the trigger. Call customer service if you have any other questions.
 
Question:Does it work with canon rebel t8i?
Answer:The Canon Rebel T8I is compatible in manual mode with the Westcott FJ-X2m trigger.
 
Question:Is it compatible with canon 5d mark iv hss? i can’t get it to work with my high speed sync
Answer:Should work with cannon as well. I'm shooting with Nixon 800E. Working great

Mount the FJ-X2m to a camera's hot shoe to wirelessly control the FJ400's long list of features, including TTL Mode, High-Speed Sync (HSS), Rear Curtain Sync, Canon RT flash compatibility, group and channel assignment, Group Exposure Compensation, TTL to Equivalent Manual, modeling lamp settings, and much more.
 
Question:I received my trigger but no sony adapter (which i ordered). was there a firmware update for sony?
Answer:This is the listing for the trigger only. It will work with Sony cameras in Manual mode as-is. If you wish to shoot in TTL and HSS on a Sony, you will need the adaptor.

If you still need the Sony Adaptor, it can be purchased here -
