I have Not Looked recently but the Vivitar is an old gun. Vivitar no
longer 
make equipment but just add there name to some (not so good Cameras).
I am Proud to say I am a user of a pair of Vivitar 283 's But Not all 
Digital cameras can handle the High Voltage Trigger voltage. Thanks

SunPack I  think are im****ted by Interphoto  http://www.intro2020.co.uk/

The Jessops Flash guns are also worth a look
