Hi all,

Up today I have the following for sale. All items come with box and original parts. All are in like new or gently used condition. I take excellent care of my gear.

Please EMAIL before PM or posting here. I have limited web access during the day, but check email frequently. [email protected]

Paypal is all I take. Shipping and Paypal is included in prices.

If you absolutely positively need pics I'll get them later tonight. Check my feedback, my word is good.

SOLD PocketWizard Flex TT5: $200
Spare, like new with box/etc. Got one too many. Canon.

Vivitar 285HV (x2): $200
Let me explain why these are more than the cost of new. Both are fairly new, bought from MPEX in the last year or so. First, the hot shoes have been replaced with the much more sturdy and convenient pc sync metal hot shoes. Second, they include the regular battery pack, as well as an external SLA battery for each and one wall charger (charger alone is $40). They are both in excellent shape with little signs of use. Includes original boxes, etc. These things can flash all day long with the SLA's. In addition, the batteries do not drain down the way regular AA's do. I've had a charged battery sit for a couple months, and still maintain 80-90% of the charge. Absolutely, positively, workhorses. But I have 4 of these, and hardly used them as these were a backup set of on location lights. Batteries and mods were done professionally, no worries on quality at all. If you bought these separate it would cost $270 not including having someone professionally mod them (unless your a DIY type of person).




Thanks for looking,
John

Any pics of the Vivitars...its really hard to understand what is all included and what the foot looks like. I need to get two new ones to replace two that are dead and these sound like a good set-up.

Getting ready to post pics of Vivitars....

Basically, the foot is a metal hot shoe with a PC sync terminal and test button. The regular hot shoes are plastic and use proprietary Vivitar sync cables.

The SLA's are sealed lead acid batteries, 6v, 3.2ah and a modded battery housing that fits into the battery slot. The original battery housing is included so it can still be used with AA's, just as intended.
