Vivitar Auto Thyristor 2800 Flash!
The Vivitar Auto Thyristor 2800 (and its variant, the 2800-D) is a compact, 1980s-era shoe-mount electronic flash unit featuring an energy-conserving thyristor circuit and a tilting bounce head.
Specifications
- Guide Number: 24 meters / 80 feet at ISO 100.
- Power Source: 4 x AA 1.5V batteries (delivers roughly 450 to 1,500 flashes depending on the battery type and usage).
- Recycle Time: 0.5 to 5 seconds.
- Colour Temperature: ~6000K (daylight balanced).
- Flash Duration: 1/2000 to 1/30,000 seconds.
- Bounce Head Angles: Tilts at 0, 45, 60, 75, and 90 degrees
-
Modes:
- Manual (M): Full-power output mode.
- Auto 1 (Blue range): Automatic exposure cut-off from roughly 2 to 12 meters (3–20 ft).
- Auto 2 (Red range): Automatic exposure cut-off from roughly 1 to 6 meters (6–40 ft).
- Thyristor Operation: A built-in photocell sensor measures reflected light and cuts off the flash tube early when the subject is properly exposed, saving battery and shortening recycle times
