vivitar 285hv question

[Dmitri]

Does anyone remember if this flash came with a PC cable? I have the one that came with my cactus radios, but it doesn't fit into the flash. However, I got the flash a while back and can't recall if it came with a cord, or if I'm tearing my house apart looking for something I don't have.

It's been a long time since I bought a new 285HV, but they used to come with a 7-inch PC cable...

According to B&H's website, they do come with a PC-1 Sync cord "Length: 1' (30 cm), straight"

Happy hunting!

I bought two 285Hv's and they both came with the pc cable.

They do, and they have that finicky vivitar connector on one end and a pc connector on the other. You other option is to get a hot shoe to pc adapter, so you can just mount your flash to it and not use the jack.

Found it finally!! Thanks all lol. I would have given up if I didn't know it had to be somewhere

Haha, congrats on finding it. A 1' cable would be a lost cause in my home lol
