Vivitar Reissues Popular 285HV Flash Unit

At last week’s PMA ’07 convention Vivitar displayed their popular 285HV Zoom Thyristor external flash unit. This is interesting considering Vivitar discontinued the flash unit back in 2005 after a long product life beginning in 1979. The company is bringing back the flash, and should satisfy disgruntled consumers who were sad to see the long-time unit discontinued. With a maximum range of around 70 feet, the 285HV features automatic exposure with four selectable distance ranges. Including a sturdy metal mount for attaching to grips and tripods, the flash is available now with a retail price of $90.
