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.
