Overview

The Westcott FJ-XR Wireless Flash Receiver is designed to bridge the gap between the Westcott FJ trigger ecosystem and the wide world of third-party flashes and strobes. By connecting to any light equipped with a standard 3.5mm sync port, the FJ-XR enables wireless manual triggering from the Westcott FJ-X2, FJ-X3, or FJ-T1 transmitters using a reliable 2.4GHz radio frequency. This eliminates the need for sync cables or optical slave sensors, giving photographers the freedom to position lights without worrying about line-of-sight or cable routing constraints.

The receiver's physical design prioritizes portability and ease of use. Its compact body houses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that removes the recurring expense of disposable cells, while the hinged 3.5mm sync plug folds flush against the unit for transport and reduces mechanical stress on the flash's sync port during use. A straightforward 3-button interface lets you assign the receiver to a specific group and channel in seconds, and the plug-and-play setup means no firmware pairing or complex configuration is required. For photographers building multi-light setups that include a mix of Westcott and third-party gear, the FJ-XR provides a practical way to unify everything under one wireless control system.
