Customer Reviews
Pretty good but fragile and stopped working
I bought two of these flashes about a year ago. The first stopped working after about 5 months. Just wouldn't fire the flash.

Godly flash for an unbeatable price!
The 285hv is a favorite among budget-conscious photographers for a reason. For the price, there's simply no other flash on the market that matches it in raw power.

Vivitar 285HV Auto Flash review
I purchased this flash unit to use as an external flash with my Lumix FZ29 digital camera. It works fine and actually has more features than I need.

Expensive to Ship, Great to use
The service of this seller was outstanding, shipped correct product on time. However, I don't quite understand why the seller has to charge close to $30 for shipping when the item came by US Postal Priority Mail for $4.80.

Everything you need to get started on a budget
I just ordered a second one.
This is the budget flash made famous by David Hobby's Strobist articles. Like so many others I have been inspired to add off-camera flash to my skill set.
