I need to shoot video at about 2 feet away - will it be in focus at that distnce and roughly how wide is the field of view at two feet?

Yes it will focus fine at 2 feet or even a little closer if need be. The field of view is appx 2-3 feet at that range.

It appears the focal distance is about 10-12 feet; you will be unable to see any clear image nearer than that distance.

The farthest I've been from the flashes is about 200feet open line of sight. Most of my shoots are done much closer, within 30 to 50 feet.

Yes, but you will loose the ability to be close up to the action. I would keep the 55-200mm and adjust your ISO settings on the camera instead.

YES!!! I would recommend the lense especially to have that option of zooming when you may not be able to get closer. With a fixed range you have to zoom with your feet. Its a really well rounded lense. IMHO

No, it cannot. Anything outside of th 2-3 inch range is out of focus. This product is a complete waste of money.

Michele, you should have no problem with that distance. I have used it the camera as close as 3" and as far as 50 yards. Good luck.

It depends on the distance of the target. The beam is about 2 feet wide and 1.5 feet tall at about 4 feet distance. As long as you can set your focal point in that range you are good.I mis-read the question, I have had it fire everytime. But that may depend on the camera body itself.

Focus wise it can be as close as less than 6 feet for my eyes (I think it depends on viewer's eyesight). However, the real problem is the images from two eyes don't over lap very well when the object is this close. If you want to observe something that close, Pentax Papilio is designed for that purpose and has very good reputation.

Fixed focus, does not zoom, approx. 2.5' diameter spot at 20'. never timed it's battery life because I've never used it more than about 30 minutes

Up to 8 feet away and then you have a focus lever on the camera that you can adjust for clarity.

Absolutley, yes.though 400 yards is a long ways away, for any camera. You might end up looking at a much more expensive HDSLR with a 800 mm lens. But for video this works great, it's lens is about 500mm if I remember right. You might try getting closer. 100 to 200 yards is probably a better distance, depending on how large you want the deer to look in the frame.

A lot depends on lighting. In the house, about 10 - 15' away under good lighting conditions & no backlight (behind the object) to skew the video. Under dim lighting, it's hard to capture a good image from any length. The video is grainy at best.

Our offices are on the second floor of a house and the farthest away we have the video monitor is about 50'. I haven't tried to see how far away it can work. The instructions that come with it are vague and difficult to understand so I don't remember if that information was included.

You'd want to "aim" camera...but I have great images 50 feet away. Have it on a pine tree along driveway. See everyone who comes and goes when I'm not home, ie: UPS guy, neighbors dog, etc etc.
