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.
Can you post a link to the design/manual?, it sounds like a good project
