It features manual and auto exposure settings, a tilt bounce head (0° to 90°), a guide number of roughly 24 meters (80 feet) at ISO 100, and typically runs on four AA batteries

Digital Camera Warning
- High Trigger Voltage: The Vivitar 2000 can output a sync/trigger voltage anywhere from roughly 50V up to over 180V depending on the production batch.
- Risk to Modern Bodies: Never mount this directly onto most modern digital mirrorless or DSLR cameras (which usually tolerate a maximum of 6V to 250V depending on brand, but risk circuit damage) unless you use a safe-sync adapter like the Wein Safe-Sync. It is completely safe for older mechanical and manual 35mm film cameras.
