INTRODUCING

An AI-powered, purpose-built lightning trigger with never-before-seen features.

Bolt Hunter uses machine learning to measure and predict the precise timing of these strikes,
and knows exactly when to trigger your camera—so you never miss a strike.

BUILT FOR STORM CHASERS

Every lightning photographer knows that some of the best strikes happen before you’re ready. Bolt Hunter was engineered for rapid deployment and ease-of-use in all conditions.

BY STORM CHASERS

CUTTING-EDGE

A new generation of lightning triggers has arrived. Bolt Hunter measures your camera’s unique shutter lag and uses real-time analysis and predictive algorithms to trigger your camera at the perfect time.

FEATURES

SIMULTANEOUS TIMELAPSE

Bolt Hunter ensures your timelapse never misses a strike and automatically adjusts exposure in changing light conditions when using the optional BULB-mode control.

& LIGHTNING TRIGGERING

⚡ AI-PRECISION TRIGGERING

Lightning triggers aren’t always too slow. Sometimes they’re too fast. Using machine learning and predictive real-time analysis, Bolt Hunter triggers at the optimal time.

🎚️ AUTO SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS

Bolt Hunter automatically adjusts the sensitivity and adapts to changing light conditions, whether you’re shooting at night or in direct sunlight during a sunset storm.

⏰ CAMERA CALIBRATION TOOLS

Bolt Hunter can measure the specific timing of your camera’s shutter lag, burst photo interval, and even test for rolling shutter with simulated lightning events.

📱 COMPANION MOBILE APP

Bolt Hunter is designed to work as a standalone device, but our mobile app enables real-time notifications, advanced features, real-time strike data, and firmware updates.

📷 DYNAMIC EXPOSURE CONTROL

Bolt Hunter can intelligently adapt your shutter speed with your camera in BULB mode, ensuring optimal exposure as clouds shift or the sun sets.

💼 COMPACT & PORTABLE

Smaller than any lightning trigger we’ve seen before, Bolt Hunter has a sleek cold-shoe attachment, so it can fit in the smallest pockets of your camera bag.

🔋 LONG BATTERY LIFE

Tired of 9-volt batteries? Bolt Hunter has a built-in lithium battery, USB-C fast charging, 40-hours of battery life, and real-time battery status tracking for uninterrupted shooting.

💡 OVER-EXPOSURE PROTECTION

Lightning strikes often consist of multiple return-strokes, milliseconds apart. Bolt Hunter can end a night exposure after the first stroke, to prevent your image from blowing out.

🌎 UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY

Compatible with almost every camera on the market, Bolt Hunter uses standard 2.5mm sync cables instead of proprietary connectors.
