Tried it today in several storms...not a happy camper. Didn't even pick up bolts from a couple hundred yards. :grumpy:

Bad unit? Dead battery? Faulty connection to camera? Facing toward storm? Is the red LED lit when you turn it on?

I decided to get one of these things and try it out too. I got it a few months ago, and it works very well for me. As soon as I got it, I tested it by flicking a lighter a few feet in front of it, and it worked. Then I tried it on a storm and it worked just like it's supposed to:

Hi buckster. The unit isn't faulty, I tested it with the TV remote a lá the Youtube vid before I went out yesterday. Worked no problem. But when I got out it just didn't work....and I mean this thing wasn't picking up bolts from, what was for me at times, uncomfortably close distances. Now I know they say it works best at night time, but they claim that it also works during the day. Not yesterday it didn't.

Just tried your lighter method...in a pitch black room. Didn't even catch it. Maybe it is faulty.

EDIT: Okay its catching a few.

But I bought this thing for daytime lightning..and when I say daytime I mean in a situation where the sky gets dark dark dark and allows you to get pretty close to the optimum camera settings.

I did the lighter thing in my office with the lights on and it worked. I think maybe you got a faulty one. I'd contact them and get it replaced.

Might do that. Thanks for your input Buckster...much appreciated.
