Just tilt, no swivel.

I was looking at the 285 earlier today. I think that's what I'm going
to find. I prefer having an autothyristor vs just full manual. It
looks like it swivels too which is a must.

OLD Vivitar 285-HV is pretty good. Trigger voltage <6vdc won't fry your
DSLR.

NEW Vivitar 285-HV not so good. Quality control issues I'm told.

So my AF280T made some awful cracking sounds and now only seems to
fire at 1/1. This makes it pretty much impossible to use. Close
objects are blown at even iso 100 and f8. Bummer. Just as I was about
to go out and shoot an event. Joy. I could go with the onboard flash,
but I think I will just stay home now. I've really had no luck with
flashes lately. Every one I have bought has either blown up or failed
in some way a short time later. Its probably time to bite the bullet
and send my metz 54 in. At least I can have something reliable again.
Oh photoshoots coming up too. So what's the cheapest half decent flash
I can buy on the cheap? Old vivitars?
