Q: 1. Why does the link to B&H for a Bowens Mount result in showing a Godox S2 Speedlite Bracket for Bowens? Does that mean that the S-2 type Bowens mount would work with this strobe? And the 'Part # link' shows no such item. Is there a Bowens mount for this strobe. Asking 10/3/21.

When the FJ-X2m trigger is placed on the hot shoe of the Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera, it may wirelessly trigger the FJ200 strobes in this flash kit.

Q: 10. Somebody asked if this uses a Bowens mount and someone replied yes. But I watched an FStoppers video for this light and Lee said it uses a smaller proprietary mount. This looks very similar to the new Godox AD300 Pro which uses a proprietary Godox mount. So which mount is this light actually using? Could it be the same as the AD300 Pro?

A: Yes you are right it is not a Bowens mount, they have not announced yet the size of the mount.
