THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO
The Vello FreeWave Stryker
for Canon and Nikon is a
2-in- solution for intense
light and infrared (IR) image
triggering. In Lightning mode,
the device will trigger your
camera’s shutter release within
approximately 0. milliseconds
after a lightning burst reaches

the sensor, allowing you to
capture striking images of
storms or fireworks. Motion
mode sets the device to trigger
your camera once the unit
detects movement using the
IR motion sensor. This is ideal
for taking remote, candid shots
of passing humans or wildlife.
