anorphirith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · 285HV + cybersync hello I just bought a 285HV, and I'm about to buy cybersync how do I trigger the flash with the cybersync? does the 285HV have any sort of input ? thanks Nov 09, 2009 at 01:57 AM

Sid Ceaser Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · 285HV + cybersync Hi, The easiest way to do it is to get a Vivitar cord via Flash Zebra: http://flashzebra.com/wizardcables/vivitar.shtml After you get that, you'll be good to go! Cheers, Sid Nov 09, 2009 at 03:35 AM

anorphirith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · 285HV + cybersync I think I need this one : http://flashzebra.com/wizardcables/0071.shtml $19 is scandalous !!! I might as well buy the hot shoe http://flashzebra.com/products/0138/index.shtml is there anyway to do a DiY ? Nov 09, 2009 at 05:40 AM

Sid Ceaser Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · 285HV + cybersync Cybercyncs work with the $14 cable. Or, just buy the hot shoe version. Don't bother with a DIY. Stick to 14 bucks for a dependable cable. Nov 09, 2009 at 01:05 PM

cgardner Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · 285HV + cybersync If you don't want to be chained to the flash with a 14' cord and don't frequently shoot around other flash users consider spending the money instead on a second Vivitar and an optical trigger. I used a pair Vivitars that way for many years and used a 15' sync cord, which is a huge PITA BTW. For about the same amount of coin you'll have a complete, two light key/fill solution instead of just one light (you will sooner or later pull over and break with that long cord) creating unfilled shadows .

Sid Ceaser Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · 285HV + cybersync I don't believe he's talking a cord from camera to flash. He already stated he has a wireless trigger system. He's looking to connect the flash to the wireless receiver. If I understand his issue. I could be wrong. Nov 09, 2009 at 04:47 PM

anorphirith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · 285HV + cybersync Yeah I am looking to buy the cyber sync & I don't think cables & optical triggers are very reliable/safe Nov 09, 2009 at 10:59 PM

jeremy_clay Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · 285HV + cybersync buy the hotshoe with female plug in for the receiver. Nov 09, 2009 at 11:27 PM

soupey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · 285HV + cybersync u can get replacement hot shoes for the vivitar that look liek this much more reliable, but might cost a bit more, otherwise just buy one of those regular hot shoe adapters that you can attach to the original hot shoe to get a pc sync port i JUST modded my 430EX with a sync port on the hot shoe... check it out: http://ypatel9.blogspot.com Nov 11, 2009 at 01:27 AM

(see description) I found this but I really doubt that these are PC female on them, they look like some kind of male connector Nov 12, 2009 at 02:39 AM

soupey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · 285HV + cybersync it's definitely the female connector, not all of them look the same. the one on there is similar to and correction on what i wrote, turns out it's buy 2 get a 3rd one free. Nov 12, 2009 at 03:04 AM

anorphirith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · 285HV + cybersync sothe cybersync would connect directly to that ? Nov 12, 2009 at 03:42 AM

soupey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · 285HV + cybersync yes it will connect directly to that pc sync port. Nov 13, 2009 at 11:53 AM

brucemuir Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · 285HV + cybersync I have a few of those "India" sourced metal replacement shoes. They're all over eBay in a few iterations. Some have test fire button which is nice. They are okay but poorly made/quality. Make sure they will work with the HV version of the 285 , they should but I'd make sure before I buy a handful.
