I use a Freewave Stryker II by Vello and it cost me around $130 But then again...I hear the Pluto is a good choice to.
Why do you need a lightening detector for your camera? I carry a strike detector in my golf bag.
I want to be able to catch a lightning bolt with my weather proof Nikon D7500 by placing the camera on a tripod with the lightning detector attached because I am not fast enough to predict when or where the lightning will strike.
Dang it, I gotta stop looking at these posts. :) We had a spectacular thunderstorm a couple of nights ago. This one got me looking at the lightning detectors. I just bought the Opteka LTX-80 at eBay. Same price as Walmart.
Strikefinder is awesome. I have never used it, but have seen it demonstrated. Besides catching lightening strikes, it is great at catching explosions, breaking glass, water drops. Can also be triggered by sound. Don't know about the others.
My detector allows me to track the location of the strikes, so you can tell if it is approaching you. Strike alert does alarm when a strike occurs, not before one. Do any of the ones you say predict when and where a strike will occur? As a scientist, I can't see how that would occur.
