About this product

Product Information

In addition to photographic equipment with great lenses, the right lighting is essential in taking crisp, clear photos. Nature, incandescent lighting, fluorescent lighting, and even the flash module built into your camera don’t always provide the ideal amount of light. That’s where adding an external light source like the high-voltage Vivitar 2800 shoe mount flash to your camera comes in to brighten and help you perfect your photographs. This Vivitar external flash accessory for cameras is powered by four AA batteries, and you get up 1,500 flashes per set of batteries under normal usage. Whether illuminating objects from a long distance or right up close, this device provides an ample and adequate amount of light that is just right for nearly any type of photo you plan to capture. Whether you are snapping photographs of someone right in front of you or something across the room, this flash unit helps you create a professional-quality image. There is nothing more frustrating than missing a great shot because you are fumbling with your camera, and this flash helps you avoid that kind of problem. The thyristor base easily snaps into position and its pin attaches to a bracket on top of your Canon, Pentax or Nikon film point-and-shoot camera. The flashes add light exposure to your images whether the subject of the photo is as close as three feet away, or up to 40 feet from the SLR or 35mm camera lens. Options for adjusting the Vivitar flash are using its manual settings or letting it auto-focus. Simplicity is a convenience provided by this DSLR Vivitar shoe mount device, but if you enjoy taking control of the settings on cameras to ensure your photos come out just so, you have that option too. This battery-powered Vivitar flash fits on your Nikon or Canon equipment, making it easier than ever to produce beautiful pictures. Enjoy the simplicity of letting the dual auto adjust settings enhance your photography. Or, check the settings and take manual control of your work by adjusting the head into your choice of its four positions. If you take a safe, practice picture or two and find that the light from the beam of light isn’t focused right where you want it, note that this iso device has a vertical rotation angle of +90/0, and that degree of rotation lets you bring light to the shadows and add visual impact to areas that otherwise would not show up in your screen captures with your Canon or Pentax camera. And, to help you attain the ideal picture quality, there is an indicator light on this Vivitar shoe mount flash that confirms whether or not the subject’s lighting is adequate. On a long outing or during an extended mobile photography session, heavy equipment bounces around, making you tired and giving you sore arms. Therefore, the lighter your gear, like this dedicated illuminating unit, the more you enjoy the creative process of taking pictures. One advantage of lightweight Vivitar equipment like this high voltage shoe mount flash is that it does not add a lot of weight or bulk to your Canon equipment, so you don’t get tired during a long photo shoot. The lightweight Vivitar thyristor shoe mount flash has a five-second recycle time, to help you prepare for the next photo.

Fabulous in every way. The figurine is even more beautiful than in pictures, the seller was very friendly and accommodating and dispatched it securely packaged very promptly and it arrived well before the estimated ETA. I can highly recommend this seller and despite the cost for shipping from the USA, I will gladly consider repeat purchases. I have given 5 stars for postage cost, because the very high cost is set by the carrier not the seller, and so shouldn't penalise the seller.

Excellent seller! Really went the extra mile, in many ways. Item is in great working condition, just as described. Very pleasant transaction, easy communication, and I highly recommended the seller. After being let down by another seller, with a broken furby, They really helped make a little boys Christmas very happy, as he'll get what he asked Santa for. Thank you so very much!!

    Vivitar 2800 Flash

    Flash works great on film SLR. Recycle time is about 5-6 seconds. Longer than the newer digital flashes, but good for a film SLR. Unit was in excellent condition. Just what I needed for a complete system again. Vivitar is a time tested product.

  • Konica Minolta Maxxum 2800 AF Flash

    Flash is in excellent condition. Works great and is a flash that I would recommend to anyone who owns a Minolta Maxxum Camera. It is easy to use and simple to attach. Uses 4 AA batteries and also simple to place inside. Actually the battery compartment is on the side of the Flash unit. Easy to slide open. The Flash has a test flash button and shows range, lighting and other options on the back of the unit. I have had this unit before and loved it very much. It does not eat up the batteries unless you constantly leave the flash on when not really needed. Use your own knowledge as to when you need the flash and when you don't. This 2800 AF Flash is a great buy!

  • Caution with this flash

    The Vivitar 2800 is an older model with high voltage (200 volts) on the hot shoe. This was ok on old cameras with mechanical sync contacts, but can destroy the circuitry of modern digital cameras. Some cameras can handle it fine. Check the specs on your camera before mounting this in the hot shoe. Or use it with an off-camera slave trigger that is rated for 200+ volts. Or buy a Wein Safe-Sync (but it's hard to justify $47 for a safe-sync when the strobe only costs $15). I bought two of these strobes and I am working on an optically-isolated modification to make them safe for all cameras. The strobe has a thyristor exposure control circuit with two ranges so that you don't have to keep changing your aperture manually when the subject distance changes. Just set the aperture ...

  • Works GREAT

    Great for old cameras. Works exactly as you'd expect. Bounce is awesome.

  • Great value and find for the money

    Although I have several Digital and DSLR cameras, I still enjoy taking pictures the old fashion way. I have an old 35 mm film camera. The flash that I have used for years, finally failed. We could not find a new replacement. Purchased this used on Ebay. The flash works perfectly.. Put in 2 batteries, placed it on the hotshoe, hit the shutter release, and off it went.
