Not tested yet, but this is a simple, straight-forward product. I anticipate no problems.

You have two options when you decide to get this kind of cable.
Either you buy an off-brand for cheap on Amazon and risk frying your camera/lighting gear. Or, you buy from a reputable brand such as IndiPro and avoid this...
Oh and IndiPro's prices are actually competitive so its not like your overpaying with this brand! I highly recommend this cable, brand and also their excellent V-Mount batteries by the way! :D

It works. Took some experimenting and reading but I got it to work and got a few good shots.

Some might say I'm slow to react--but I don't think I am--except where lightning is concerned. Without a detector, I miss the bolt every time.


Not with this little guy, however. I've only had one chance to try it out and it grabbed a bolt I didn't even see. If you want to shoot lightning, this is an easy choice.

I have purchased a MK Controls Lightning Bug Plus strike finder. Through some misuse on my part the finder was not giving me results I liked. I contacted the company and their customer service was amazing. I may have damaged my trigger through misuse. The company worked through the issues with me and ended sending me a new unit which works splendidly.

I really only needed half of this size, but I can tuck away the extra with a velcro strap. The length will come in handy if I need to use the monitor off camera.

I was unsure how well and fast this Lightning-Controlled camera trigger would work but I am impressed. It has sensitivity adjustments that also works really well depending on your shooting environment.

I had a hard time finding a extension cable long enough for my headphones. I don’t like wireless headphones for a few reasons so these were exactly what I needed. The Good reviews on the quality of this company’s products was another reason I bought them.

You really need this to connect two cameras to the same Lightning Bug. Works great!
