The fabulous and inexpensive Peanut Slave by Wein seems to work just fine with the Vivitar 283 flashes I have.
Now that I've dispensed with my suggestion I have a little tale to tell: I've heard of people trying to use these Peanut slaves at weddings... imagine this.. you're the photographer at the wedding.. attempting to use off camera remote flash with a peanut slave.. you set the picture up.. get ready to shoot and then someone in the crowd decides to snap a quick shot with their P&S. BLAMMO.. your peanut slave (which is sensitive to flash light) fires off all your flashes and now you have to wait for the reload.. not to mention that the bridal party is starting to get upset because they're getting a sunburn from all the flash :) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: Mike Ignatiev [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 23:44:56 +0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: flash slave triggers I am looking for an advice on those. Something reliable and inexpensive. My flashes are Sunpak 522 and Vivitars 283 and 550 and I am curious to experiment with off camera setups.
