Good morning all, name is Mark, and have been shooting since 2011, and am currently using a Nikon D5500 with various lenses.

I was the recipient of a infrared sensor developed by Strikefinder for use in capturing lightning and other quick sequence action shots. I’ve been having some trouble getting the shots I want, during the day, using the factory recommended settings for my camera (ISO 100, f/11, 1/40”). Anyone ever use this product and have some tips/tricks?

Thank you for your time.

Are you trying to shoot lightning or something else? Only a laser pointer or lightning will trip the sensor in daylight.
Or are you trying to use the motion detect feature? Then you have a sensitivity dial to adjust.
Also, for either mode you have to use the proper cord connected to your cameras remote control port or you have no interconnection.
Lots more questions need to be answered here for any responsible replies to apply.
