Westcott has announced its newest flash trigger, the FJ-X3. There are two version of the trigger, the FJ-X3 M for Nikon, Canon, Sony (with an adapter), Fuji, Panasonic and Olympus and the FJ-X3 S specifically for Sony – because Sony likes to be special and different when it comes to their hotshoe.

The FJ-X3 comes with a new removable lithium-ion battery, allowing photographers to swap out and charge as needed without the hassle and cost of single-use AA batteries. It has an all-new button layout with an enhanced user interface with a new multi-selection pad for easy adjustment of power settings, modelling lamp, audible beeps and more. Westcott says the new interface design allows for multiple group settings to be displayed at once so you don’t have to dig through multiple menus to adjust each one.
