there is a whole lot of play with wording in the video sales market

There certainly is! There's a simple explanation of megapixel inflation on this site (https://exodusoutdoorgear.com/blogs/new ... megapixels); but, of course they're not a disinterested party. My Special Ops is the 2016/17 model -- the daytime videos seem excellent, the IR not so much. I plan on posting a video comparing the Special Ops and VG-140 when the test is done in a week or so.

Thanks Trevor, it's a Vivitar 2800, which is a bright flash, it's one of Ralph's custom creations. Keep in mind that the flash output is a constant in that you have zero control over the output. Aside from using a diffuser or increasing or decreasing the distance between the flash and the subject. Therefore the only control of the flash output in relationship to the image is via the camera settings itself. I tried 3 different cams when finally choosing the W300 as the cam to pair it with. To control the flash intensity I chose an ISO of 200 for these pics. Ideal lighting for nighttime pics of light coloured subjects such as the Deer. For close-up pics of a light coloured Elk during daylight hours. The Elk has to be dead still and turned angled to the cam to reduce the likelihood of too much overexposure. That's why I got lucky in the pic of the two Elk. An ISO of 100 renders a sharper image, providing it's dead still. It also creates a slightly darker image which is good for close-up subjects and reduces the likelihood of an overexposure of light coloured subjects.

Here's a few pics of the set-up. I made up a custom 45 degree angled mirror to deflect the cam's flash to the PT sensor in the pigtail of the slave flash.
