Are Surge Protectors Any Good Against Lightning Strikes

It works great. I love surge protectors.

Have used the APC brand of surge protectors for many years and have always been satisfied with them.

I have purchased other Belkin surge protectors and I think they are good value for the money. They appear to be well made for their reasonable price. This unit works as expected. The not grounded light informed me that the outlet I was going to plug the unit into was in fact not grounded.

We are glad we purchased this product. It provides great protection for a very reasonable price. Even lightning strikes are included in the coverage!

I LOVE this trigger! I managed to capture several lightning strikes (safely) by using this trigger. Very impressed with the size and ease of use. Would 100% purchase again.

Powers on, powers off, hopefully saves it all if the lightning strikes! 3 year no-registration-needed warranty is a nice perk too!

I bought this to use for lightning strikes but of course as soon as I got it the storms stopped here so I used during the 4th of July for fireworks and found it to work really well. It was easy to use. Downloading and using the app was simple. Took a try or two but once I turned the camera off and back on it worked great. Controlled everything from my phone and for the first time in a long time enjoyed the fireworks show. I used this on a Canon 5D Mark IV. For the fireworks I set it up for about a 90 pct sensitivity w/a 1-4 second shutter release and f/8 on the camera and got great shots. Looking forward to learning more about this and the app and hope that they'll create a lot of learning tools for it.

First time I tried the MIOPS trigger, I was successful capturing a lot of lightning strikes. Easy to setup and phone app makes it very easy to use. I used it during a very active storm and erred on setting it to be over sensitive, so I had a lot of false triggers. Looking forward to the next storm!

Great for adding another device or two at the end of a run. Somewhat sensitive to lightning strikes, based on my experiences, but then most gear is. Easy and cheap enough to replace if needed.

On March 5, 2011 a huge thunderstorm with hundreds of lightning strikes caused a main power line to fall in the alley. It sent 7200 volts into my home. Blowing out the master breaker and the complete breaker panel. I was working at the computer when I heard the blast in my house and all the lights went out except my computer. The BK350 kept everything running until I shut it off a few seconds later. It protected the Computer, Scanner, Printer, Work Light and a Radio. Two days later when our system was restored I turned on the computer. It would come on, but not stay on. I hit the reset button on BK350 and it exploded internally. I removed it and put a backup in place and the computer ran fine. It saved my computer and accessories.
