Product Description

Wein Optical Slaves are the classic solution for wirelessly syncing virtually any amount of flashes to your camera. Wein Optical slaves will fire in sync with the first white light or infrared pulse that it detects. If your "key" flash emits a pre-flash Wein recommends using: the camera in manual mode so that no pre-flashes are emitted.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would Not Work With Viivitar 283
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
I have an old Vivitar 283 strobe. Though the Wein Peanut Slave packaging indicates it is compatible with Vivitar 283 and 285 models, I have had no such luck. The first Peanut wouldn't fire the 283 at all; the second (Amazon replacement) would fire the 283 perhaps one out of five tries. I am returning the third, untried, and instead ordering (elsewhere) a used Vivitar SL-2.

Commentary on other photography web sites suggests the Peanut may have difficulty with the high trigger voltage of old 283 strobes. Also note that Vivitar has reused the "283" moniker (they currently make a model DF-283), so the Peanut might work OK with newer units.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works but...
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am trying to use this with my old Metz 30 BCT4 flash which has the trigger voltage around 62V measued although the spec ahows around 200V. This trigger has a female connector and so does my flash. I have to use a male to male cable to connect them but it seems my Metz is triggering very easily even with the indoor daylight so it keeps flahsing until I went in to a dark room. But even in the dark room if my finger touch the glass cap of this trigger it will triger my flash. I guess the threshold of this trigger is very low so my Metz flash shoe voltage could be too high for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work properly
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
Despite the mixed reviews of others, I purchased this for a Vivitar 283. The unit only works about one every 5 flashes. It is useless as it can't be counted on to operate. I took my flash apart and cleaned all the contacts to make sure it was not a connection problem. It still operates the same way. In fairness, this is a 30 year old flash, but it is advertised to work with this unit. Your results may vary.

1.0 out of 5 stars there is a fit problem with the plug
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
Tried connecting to multiple sync cords and strobes from different manufacturers and had no success obtaining a sync with these units and returned them. Working commercial photographer for thirty plus years, college instructor for 20 years, use optical and radio syncs on a daily basis. So Sad - my old Wein triggers still work flawlessly, and have since the eighties.

3.0 out of 5 stars May not work with older Vivitar 283s
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014
Verified Purchase
I purchased this item and found that it would not work with either of my Vivitar 283 units, even with a flash unit pointed directly at the slave. Both of my 283s will fire from the sync cord. I'm not sure if the slave was bad or the 283s too old.
I have used Wein slaves in the past with out any issues, but not with these Vivitar 283s, so this reviewer has no conclusion

Don't know if to blame the manufacturer or the company that sent me these slaves... But they don't work. Bought two and one of them if you look closely is cracked. I'm very displeased. Makes me not want buy anything off the internet any more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plug doesn't fit genuine Vivitar 283 or 285
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
I own 283 and a 285 smart flashes made by VIvitar Corporation of Santa
Monica in 1970s or 1980s (long before the Vivitar brand was acquired by Sakar
International in 2008). . The Wein Peanut Slave will not fully insert into the sync
jacks on either flash. It won't even go in far enough to stay in place or work.

This plug has a cylindrical profile, but the genuine PC plug has a more
complex shape (search for "flash sync cable PC"). My PC sync cables
fit the flash units just fine.

The back of the box says, "Plugs directly into Vivitar 283/285 strobes".
but it doesn't fit. Obviously, whoever mde these "Wein" branded slaves
didn't bother to machine the correct shape and only tested them with the
Sakar knock-off versions of the 283 and 285.

Wein Products dos not list this product--or any flash slave products--
on its website. They are in the air purifier and battery business now.
I wonder who really made this unit?

Totally useless. Will return it.
