Andrew,
you're so right! About a week ago I rode home from the city amid a gathering lightning storm thinking if I can just get home and set the camera up even without the trigger (which hadn't arrived) I should get something. The storm was getting so bad my wife even picked me up in the car - droive home with massive lightning all around us.
Raced into the house grabbed the camera gear. Even as I screwed it onto the tripod the frequency diminished. The last strike occurred just as I took the lens cap off!
Anyway - maybe some summer storms down at the coast over Christmas.
The rigger was slightly damaged when it arrived. The On/Off switch had come loose from the rather light amount of glue holding it in place. It was only in a lightly padded bag for postage so I think it happened in transit. I've let them know
cheers
niko
