STRYKER

LIGHTNING/MOTION TRIGGER

 

The Vello FreeWave Stryker

for Canon and Nikon is a

2-in- solution for intense

light and infrared (IR) image

triggering. In Lightning mode,

the device will trigger your

camera’s shutter release within

approximately 0. milliseconds

after a lightning burst reaches

the sensor, allowing you to

capture striking images of

storms or ﬁreworks. Motion

mode sets the device to trigger

your camera once the unit

detects movement using the

IR motion sensor. This is ideal

for taking remote, candid shots

of passing humans or wildlife.

MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE DEVICE

0

An individual’s trigger ﬁnger

is not fast enough to detect

and capture lightning as it

strikes. With your Vello

FreeWave Stryker in lightning

triggering mode, your camera

will automatically activate

your camera’s shutter within

approximately 0. milliseconds

of the trigger detecting a

ﬂash or burst of light.

LIGHTNING TRIGGERING

For operation in lightning

mode, point the device’s

sensor and camera in the

direction of where you’re

expecting a lightning ﬂash.

Attach the camera and trigger

to a tripod for best results. We

recommend turning the trigger

on before the camera after

the two have been connected

with a cable. Additionally, your

camera’s shutter speed should

be set to a longer exposure.

To activate lightning triggering

mode, move the mode switch

to “Lightning”. For best

results, start at a 0 second

exposure & adjust your

camera’s exposure settings

while adjusting the Stryker’s

sensitivity using the dial on the

left side of the unit. Set your

camera / lens to manual focus.
