Rating: - Absolute manual control for 283 workhorse...
Vivitar's VP1 module is a neat little device that allows continuous manual control for 283...this is a down & dirty way to get around using ND filters to reduce strobe output for absolute control for those "touchy" studio situations. Highly recommended.

Product as advertised, delivered quickly. Works perfectly with the Vivitar 283 flash for manual power. Thanks.
Rating: - New life to old flash
I thought I would never have a use for my trusty Vivitar 283 again, but boy was I wrong. These VP-1 units are hard to find, but for $22 I was able to turn my old autoflash 283 into a useful strobist tool. The only downside is that since its just a potentiometer, there are no positive clicks for each setting, so you don't really know if that power level is what you're getting. But its pretty close. It also allows adjustment down to 1/64th power, better than the current 285 HV.
