I have been looking all over the internet for a good lightning trigger; anyone here have one? Do you like it? I'm kinda liking the looks of this one from AEO:

I just used a photo transistor mounted inside a Bic pen tube, so I can slide it out for wider area of view or in deeper for narrower view to trigger the camera. Sevas Tra
