What is the difference between lightning bug plus and older lightning bug
The MK Controls Lightning Bug Plus uses a USB-C cable that allows the user to update firmware, change internal settings, and use an external battery to charge it. It also has longer battery life when compared to the previous version. It has improved detection of lightning strikes and also automatic sensor calibration. During power-on, the Lightning Bug Plus senses ambient light, and sets baseline sensitivity. It also includes full lifetime product warranty.

How is this used with a Z9? Please describe set up.
Thanks.
You would need to add a 9 volt battery to the MK Controls Lightning Bug Plus to power it. It will then slide onto the hot shoe of the Nikon Z9. You then need to plug the cable into the shutter release socket of the Z9. To use it on standard mode you need to hold the on/off button for 2 seconds. For fireworks mode you press and hold the on/off button and increase the sensitivity simultaneously for 2 seconds. Please take a look at this manual for further features. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/841235.pdf
