I give a thumbs up to all of them. I was not able to test the life of each unit so that's to be determined. The Tekkeon is rated [I believe] for -4 F, which is probably lower than the internals can go. No chance to try that either, but that's ok :) None of these units would fire the DMR at it's max rated 9 shot burst, only getting 3 - 4 shots at best, until I switched R8 bodies. On a whim to see if my older R8 would even work with the DMR, I found it not only worked, but it would shoot those 9 shot bursts with the external setups with no trouble ! The first R8 worked fine otherwise, except for the burst issue. Also, Michael is a good guy to work with and talk to, very accommodating, and patient too. I'm pretty 'tech limited' so I needed a lot of instruction :) Gary
