Miops for the Bolt!

Lots of folks are out with the summer storm shooting lightning and have been asking what trigger I use. I tell them Miops of course which then comes the nest question, “What’s Miops?” Miops (available many places) is only THE best lightning trigger on the planet! I’ve tried them all and they all failed, except Miops. Miops has never failed, always works and is the simplest tool I’ve ever used. It connects to your iPhone with a great app, firmware is consistently being updates and makes lightning photography (and a whole lot more) a snap. I can’t recommend it enough.

The one thing I recommend you add to the Miops is a small ballhead, I use Small Rig, so you mount Miops via the small ballhead into the hot shoe of your camera. This makes it easier to not only point the Miops but get it above the shade on your lens. It’s a small thing that I think makes a big difference in getting the photo you want to tell the story of the storm. I have a label on the bottom of my Miops with my starting settings. They are M ISO200 1/125 f11 cause otherwise I wouldn’t remember them.

And be sure to check out Miops Mobile. Great tools especially with summer thunderstorms!
