Great product, adapts easily and packs nicely into the provided backpack

These 400w strobes are THE BEST! I was deciding whether I wanted to go for a Godox 600pro or the Westcott 400w because of the extra stop of light, but I've yet to go full flash power on these bad boys in my shoots and it's already giving enough power to light my beautiful models! I recommend this product!

Works just as advertised and is super user-friendly. What else can you ask for?

This was a great deal for the price. The strobe provided great light for indoor sessions. I’d definitely recommend

Used the strobes for the first time yesterday for headshots of an AHL hockey club; purchased them two weeks ago. Very pleased with the ease of use. Controls and menus were very straight forward. Synchronization of strobes to the trigger was easy. Quality of the light was excellent and even when used with two umbrellas with socks. Post-production processing was limited to cropping. The backpack was convenient, saving a trip in moving equipment. Used the trickle-charging capability of the strobes because the number of images to be taken exceeded the expected charge of the batteries. Recommend purchasing an extra battery for the trigger when doing long shoots. Wish I purchased these sooner.

I was able to figure out all relevant functionality of this strobe without ever needing to look at the documentation. This, given my impatience, is quite a testament to the ergonomics/UX design of this system. I use it with Canon and Fuji systems in TTL mode and it works flawlessly. I also use it in manual mode with my film cameras via the Kaiser PC-to-hotshoe adapter and it's wonderful. I had it only for a few weeks and can't comment on battery longevity or reliability, but I love what I've seen so far.

I am not a pro and don't have any studio space, but I do a lot of on-site portraits for organizations. This kit is perfect for ease of transport and set-up, and for not having to rely on cords and wall outlets everywhere. I just did a two-light shoot for marching band portraits. Was able to get 905 shots on battery power before the battery died on the main light, which was set to power level 5 (out of 9). A lesson learned that I have not seen mentioned other places - if you need to use A/C power for these, you are supposed to plug the A/C adapter in with at least 25% charge left on the strobe battery. My main battery ran completely dead and I had to take a 15 minute break to let the battery charge back up some before finishing the shoot on A/C power.


I think the quality and color of light was good and consistent. I like the LED modeling light that is dimmed according to power level. Controls with the remote will take some getting used to, but it does seem to work well. I did notice that most times when changing settings on a light from the remote, the first flash afterwards is way too bright. Because of this, I have started hitting the Test button on the remote after changing settings to fire the strobes once before shooting again. I also did have some images - maybe 6 out of 1100 - where the hair light did not flash. It seems those were the first shot after taking a short break, so maybe something was going to sleep?


The main reason I chose to write a review is to provide photos of the packaging of the kit. This was missing from the B&H listing, though Westcott's own listing did have one photo with the case open. Hopefully these images are useful to others.
