Pretty cool for video (if you video hunts)
The con's are:
They are expensive (about $10 per nock)
There is a chance they won't work (but they still work as a nock)
They make achieving a higher FOC slightly more difficult
Overall they are a nice little accessory. If you don't have a problem shelling out the dough for them they are worth it. If the price seems steep you're probably better off sticking with a traditional nock. They are not going to make or break any hunt.

It work for me on 1 buck. The first one I had, broke and I feel it's because it was in a big diameter aluminum arrow which offered it no support in the circuitry area. They (EASTON) replaced it for me. I used it on the Halloween buck I shot then deactivated it. I pulled it out the other day and it's completely dead. I won't be spending money on them anymore. I'd like to try a different manuf.
