Wein Safe-Sync Reviews

it works for Speedo's

I have old Speedo packs, 2405 and 800 and trigger with Pocket Wizards. I either get intermittent triggering or none at all. This product rectifies that problem. I also sometimes use with my PCB monolights but it isn't as big a problem with those lights. So, bottom line is, it works, I'm happy and it's worth the $.

Allows you to use those old flash units

I bought this Safe-Sync to allow me to use an old righlight that has a high sync voltage on modern digital cameras. I checked the high sync voltage after it went through the safe-sync and it had been decreased to 6 volts as advertised.

See any errors on this page?

question

I have an older Vivitar 283 that I would like to use off-camera with a Canon EOS 20D. In researching the sync voltage it appears that the 283 voltage can be as high as 600 volts. Wein's product description says that this product can be used with older flash units that have sync voltage up to 400 volts , yet B&H's description says no matter how high . So... Which is correct? Is this going to protect my camera while using it with the 283? Yeah, my 20D is outdated, but it's my baby and I don't want to risk burning it up. Thanks!

The safe sync is only rated for 400v. 600v sounds too high for the Vivitar 283, in searching the internet I found a correspondance from someone with the same concern to Vivitar and their response was We apologize for any inconvenience. The trigger voltage if it's made in China is 10V made in Japan 350V made in Korea 350V. You can check by where the hot shoe is where it's made . If the voltage is in fact higher than 400v you may be better off using a combination of a safe sync and a wireless radio slave system to eliminate any direct connection to the camera.

question

is this a 1/4 female to male?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes it is 1/4 to1/4 but if you have questions you should contact the manufacturer if no one at B&H can answer the question.
