The 283 is mostlikely not safe to use as the trigger voltage could be too high.
I am not 100% sure of this but if it was made in china I think its safe if it was made else where its not safe. About 1/3 of the way down this page are instructions on how to measure the voltage of your flash...over 24 volts is dangerous. http://www.botzilla.com/photo/g1strobe.html Also they sell a safe sync thing to lower the voltage but its abpout the price of a new flash. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search Also here is a drawing of how someone fixed their 283. http://www.angelfire.com/folk/alangh/283/P1070601.html |
