Hi guys,

Do HV models say HV on them or is there another way to tell them apart, got one for sale and the fella wants to know if its HV - and I aint 100% sure though I think it is HV.

I'm googling this also, but thought I'd ask you lot too.

Regards,
David

No easy way of telling.
Test the trigger voltages with a multi meter is probably the best way to do it. Set it to read DC voltage( >250V btw). The positve connection touches the center connection in the flash foot and the ground connection touches the one in the side of the foot.

If it's an HV model it will say HV on it. The HV tag has nothing to do with the trigger voltage, btw - you get high and low voltage HV models

sorted chhers guys,

turns out to be a low voltage non HV flash

The 285 is brother to the killer 283. But it has a low trigger trigger voltage. Mine is 8v.
