That was insightful. Just to hear the camera settings is info that helps me a lot as I struggle with underexposed or noisy photos.

Nice presentation! Easy for beginners and others to understand without being to techy.

New sub! Very motivating & inspiring. Looking forward to this series!

I do the same thing by zooming into a particular area in the scene knowing damn well that your chances are slim to none that a bolt is actually going to land there. But I usually wait until I have several good bolts in my current composition before rolling the dice on a long shot. How many bolts do you need in a picture with the exact same composition anyway? Might as well spin the wheel on a long shot because sometimes you get lucky! You'll have to tell me the hit by lightning story some day. Color me intrigued. I've had them hit near by, but so far dodged the bullet. (knock on wood)

I was on that storm near Marana yesterday. I got excellent time lapse of it. I'll be posting it on my channel at some point in the near future.

Ordered one today from B&H on Roberts advice. Looking forward to being able to capture some lightening shots this year.

Sure hope 2024 season is rainy

People of the Tucson monsoon Don't wear a frown upon your face Come on and join your hands You are a part of the human race!

A+ to both of you on the 30: to 35: conversation... I chased a LOT between 1996 and 2001, but really got spooked on 5/3/99 and then also again 2000 when a chase partner of mine died chasing. Learning lessons and being really scared is why I've held back all these years. 2024 is getting me more excited than I've been since 2013 BUT I don't think I'll ever break the cardinal rules of last-century chasing: Don't chase alone. Don't chase at night. Don't EVER go into the water. And no zero metering (like who EVER would have thought of THAT before?!?! omg)

I really resonate with everything you said, Jen! I've gone through it all. And still do. I love chasing, but it's overwhelming at times and it's necessary to take a step back and reset, or change focus completely. It's hard to find that balance sometimes. And thanks for the shoutout!

Great video! In particular, I loved the part of the discussion about not getting too close/being too aggressive from 29:30 to 37:00 into the video. As a parent of a young teenager that loves meteorology and storm chasing, it’s critical to instill this mindset both by example when in the field and by hearing from others who operate with the same mindset regarding caution/responsibility. Thank you both! ❤

GREAT video talk awesome

A very interesting conversation. You covered a lot of topics and I can tell if you and I ever get the opportunity to just visit like this, we'll be at it for hours! KUDOS, Lori!

Greenfield did this. We were the only ones on the road where it crossed and then doubled and became multi vortex and got alot bigger. I was behind most other people so i dont think anyone else got that perspective.

Good conversation. its OK to sit out setups! Theres a skill in being able to get the goods on fewer chases by honing in on what setups are more likely to produce them.

You two did an amazing job on this one. Thank you for asking and sharing about the important topics.

Hi and great video! This is awesome!

I love me monsoon!

So the at20 are good for light off-roading? But not snow

I can make cables to convert back to normal for anyone who needs it. Its switching wires by 1.

I too, was touched by lightning. I had been 2 years recovery from back-2-back major concussions, when I was touched. Half way down the Grand Canyon on the Tanner Trail...Total shock and I wasn't sure except for the toasty bacon on my right ear where the last bead of sweat was. The Tonto layer gets hit so much and around the Tanner seems to get it a lot. Years later I was camping at Toroweap and bolts were blasting...I ran petrified to the car...later realizing my camera was in the car...30 sec exposures and I was hooked. I went years without getting a trigger and my first never got a shoot when I got daytime ones manually! Now I have way too big ofa collection of Lightning Bugs, Lightning Triggers and Miops firmware 3+

It was great an incredible thing to see!! Even here in Iowa! We actually had clear skies and wonderful sightings!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video!!🙏💖🪶💞✨️💜🫶

you may fire when ready

Even the lightning has a purpose. I’ve heard/read that it puts nitrogen into rain so that it is a kind of natural fertilizer. Beautiful video and music!

I'm honestly baffled that we are still making mistakes like this even to this day. Even if the tornado was coming straight at you, the road you took in headed northwest - it was always the better option, even if the tornado shifted north. Speaking of New Mexico and that day in May...holy cow that was another insanely dangerous day that almost got a bunch of us injured or worse. A typical case of sitting ducks, something we're starting to see way, way more often. The clip you showed was for people on the north side of the storm, but the south side of that storm was an absolute disaster. Too many people, at least 300 of us, a local blocking everyone on a storm moving south. As soon as the RFD came crashing down, had Hank not pulled forward on the left lane, we may have all been in the path of what likely could've been a significant tornado. That event honestly probably deserves a retrospective in some form or another, especially with regards to figuring out what to do when locals decide to block traffic, or escape/planning strategies to consider before getting into a situation like that. Storm chasing is gaining a lot of attention, which is cool for this community, but it's becoming too crowded, and there will come a day where we're going to have a major disaster on our hands.

awesome i broke 3 cables to LT4, no shoes yet, just got the lightning bug on your recommendation. i had an AEO trigger that was great but i fell and smashed it. and after covid i think that company never recovered. thanks for the advice.

Daily Vlogs are some seriously hard work. I wish you the best of luck!

hello friend, good job

You can be sure I'll be following along, Lori!

That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Nice video, I couldn't agree more!! New sub!!!

The Lightning Bug Plus with the camera interface cable is $199.00 plus shipping.

Great podcast! I too have had frustration with trial & error with triggers, Miops being the worst in my opinion. I love my Lightning Bug Plus as it's the most consistent producer out of them all. keep the podcasts coming, I enjoy them very much :)

Regardless of lightning device you use, do you find any lag with non-Sony lenses on your ARs? I went Sony mirrorless when first introduced and can’t imagine ever switching to something else. I’ve seen comments that using a lens adaptor with non-Sony lenses which I almost always do causes some shutter delay. At least using Lightning Trigger 4, I’ve never found this to be an issue, and possibly I only imagined it when shooting something outside my usual practice, like wildlife (or maybe I’m the laggy element in that genre 🥹)

Thank you, Lori.; Sony user here also (going back to the original AS1 in 2014!) My dream would be a melding of Lightning Trigger technology with a sturdier build. Having my LT- IV break early in 3 weeks of chasing last spring, then going lost in a duct-taped mess was incredibly frustrating. The salt in the wound was seeing a broken LT-IV show up on eBay shortly thereafter that looked exactly like mine (well, probably many others have a broken hot shoes so could have been anybody’s… but still…) I didn’t care for the MiOps which I tried in 2022.

Very nice reviews. I'm on team MIOPS because it blew the LT4 out of the water as far as getting the most day time bolts. And the proprietary cable I have a big problem with. Of course the proper camera settings are critically important I've come to learn over the years. I did have a lightning bug for a long time but it was the 1st version. Very temped to try the new one out this year.

Thanks for this, Lori! I love my LightningTriggers and like you, I've managed to invest quite a bit of money in that company thanks to the flimsy, crappy plastic hot shoe. I think I've replaced 4 of these devices over the years. But, I really can't complain about the devices ability to capture bolts. Heck, I even leave it connected after the sun goes down. I think, and this is based on your and Robert Gallucci's (I love that guy!) suggestion, I may just invest in a Lightning Bug this year. Fingers and toes crossed it does what it's supposed to do.

I'm still capturing lightning the old fashioned way. I use either time lapse for video or my best results for still photos of after dark lightning is always the simplest (but most difficult) method using long exposure with specific settings based on the lighting conditions in that moment in time (and is usually constantly changing to some degree). I've never used a lightning trigger outside of my storm chasing buddy hooking me up with his a couple times briefly. I've never been able to justify the cost because I don't put that much importance in daytime lightning. It just doesn't hold the same impact as night shots do, and once it gets dark I don't see the point in using a trigger. I'd rather spend $400 on a new (used) lens (which I'm always in desperate need of) because I know that will get a lot of use and a great return on my investment. I did almost get an LT4 last year, but the long ship time ultimately scared me off from the investment and I'm not even considering it this year. If I did have one, I would definitely use it during the day since it's nigh on impossible to catch a bolt using my own built-in trigger and long exposure won't work either. But again, I'm not that high on daytime lightning shots to meet the $400+ price point to get one. Half that, maybe. It is nice to know there are other, faster shipped, options available though that work as well as the original LT.

I swear by my miops smart as well, best battery situation of the bunch and love the extra options and use it as a timelapse trigger in the off-season. Caught more bolts than my LB+ last season pointing the same direction. I love having both though. It's great to have multiple triggers. I bought a pluto at one point but lost that tiny thing :(

Do they rub at all?

That magnetic connection looks pretty handy. I have some magnetic bracket looking devices for my GoPro but I seldom use them due to their bulky nature. Right now I have both GoPro cams already mounted to my tripod inserts where they pretty much stay unless I want to attach to vehicle, but I rarely do that while storm chasing.

How are things?- incredible dji- Lorigraceaz, 🔥

👍👍

how do you like the ride with the K02 ?

amazing!

Been in Phx since '83 and this may be one of the best this spring. Marvelous thank you so much for posting. 🙏

Great episode really enjoyed the conversation!

I plan on doing the same when the time comes, except I want the flow TRD wheels and some Michellins

Incredible!! Sorry so late in watching, but I have been sick!!🙏💖🪶💞💜💯💯💯👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯
