Former top-of-the-line is still a teriffic flash!
I have 3 of these as well as numerous 5400 HS' and Vivitar 283, 285, 285HV and Vivitar 4600's. I love my Vivitar strobes and have since the 292 was released in the late 70's. They are the true workhorses of camera-mounted flashes, which I use strictly as manual strobes (along with my 5400(HS)'s. But as good as those old strobes are, the 5600HS is my preferred flash. All of my digital cameras are Sony DSLR's (one SLT a77), and the 5600's and my Sony HVL58 function "perfectly" with my cameras. Best of all, and what separates the 5600's from my other strobes is the 100% consistency. Coupled with the Sony HVL56 (same exact flash, but re-badged), the flash consistency is the best I have ever used. The only negative is that the full recharge time is a second or two longer than my older flashes, but I don't need speed. I don't think that, for the money ($135-$165 on eBay), there is a better strobe for Sony DSLR and SLT cameras.

For what I paid, it was worth what I paid for it and a bit more.
This is an old Bogen basic tripod. It has legs that open easily. It is used and looks like it, feels like it. Bogen is a very good manufacturer (Manfrotto), not the best or the most expensive, but this is an entry level pro tripod that is light enough to be carried to locations and heavy enough to handle basic medium format cameras OK. For what I paid, it was worth it.

I really like this strobe!
Most of the 5000 series of Minolta flashes are very good and the same is true with the 5400 HS(High Speed). I love mine. That said, if wanting to use all of the features available on your DSLR, don't buy it! This flash does not communicate with the "A" series Sony DSLR's. It will work on these cameras but only in manual mode, meaning that the only settings available are the power settings, which go from "Full" to "1/32." If that is what you are looking for, you'll find this to be an almost 100% consistent flash as long as you allow it to recycle fully (about 10 seconds). Battery life is about average, and flash coverage is quite even. I use it as a slave, with either a Quantum Bantam, Battery1, or 1+ and it is great! I actually have three of them.
