New life to old flash
I thought I would never have a use for my trusty Vivitar 283 again, but boy was I wrong. These VP-1 units are hard to find, but for $22 I was able to turn my old autoflash 283 into a useful strobist tool. The only downside is that since its just a potentiometer, there are no positive clicks for each setting, so you don't really know if that power level is what you're getting. But its pretty close. It also allows adjustment down to 1/64th power, better than the current 285 HV.
Useful addition to flash control
A very useful device for the control of power output of Vivitar 283 Flash Gun. This will allow a more creative approach when using the unit on or off the camera.
Vivitar VP1 for 283 Flash
For those that know how big of a workhorse that the now discontinued Vivitar 283 flash is this little product is really cool! Makes the 283 flash into a very controllable light source. The only problem is that as I now understand the VP-1 has also now been discontinued. Wish I could find a source to buy two or three more of these handy devices!
