[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 648094, member: 43924"] Well, since there were no comments from others, I went ahead and bought one to try it out myself. :) Initial impressions: pretty good. With about 2 ounces (plus the weight of two AAA batteries), the unit is extremely lightweight. It can be set to respond to motion, sound, and lightning events, where the sensitivity is adjustable for the latter two across a wide range. In other words, you set it such that the ambient sound respectively light JUST won't trigger it, then turn on your camera, and the MOVO triggers a shot when a louder sound or more intense light appears. The below picture shows it on my D500, mounted via the plasticky-but-sturdy-enough extension arm. Seems to me that extension won't be needed for sound and lightning, but since it moves the sensors much closer to the front of your lens, it gives you better motion sensor results. MOVO claims that it is able to detect motion within a range of about 5m/16ft, which works with me as the subject but probably is shorter with birds and other small animals. With me as the subject, even small movements triggered it reliably. Haven't used the MOVO in any 'live' situations yet, but I think I'm going to like this thing.
