I built a light trigger ( modified design from internet ) for about £5 of parts.
I cut the cable of my manual remote (Canon 20D) inserting an inline 2.5mm jack plug and socket. I also made an extension cable.
I have only been able to try it out in one storm so far but I managed to capture 4 lightning strikes in 12 shots about 30% success rate.
So I have my original length remote cable an extra 2 metre extension and an easy connection for the light trigger.
