Customer Reviews

Save your money and get this one
Why pay over $100 or even $70 for a simple shutter release? If you need distance from your camera, wireless capabilities, or still be able to set functions on the camera from a distance, then get a more expensive remote; it will be worth it. But if you are looking for a simple corded shutter release, save your money and get this one. Sure, it doesn't feel as sturdy as the more expensive ones; but how sturdy does a simple button have to be to make a shutter release? This one is just as good quality as the Nikon simple shutter release, but after using it several times I think it is probably better than Nikon's (I'm not a gentle person when it comes to remotes). It has worked perfect on my D300 in both my studio and travels, and fits comfortably in my hand. I use it for night shots (lots of night shots) and product studio long exposures. As an example, I used this remote to make most of the photos used on CompassRoseGeocoin.com. I could not have any camera shake when taking those photos.

Update: I ended up losing the first one of these I purchased after using it for several hundred photos (It was much sturdier than I thought). I wasn't too upset since the cost was so low, but I would have been livid if I were to lose one of those more expensive remotes. After finding out of the loss, I did more research to see if there are any new options for remotes; but this remote still seems to be the best value on the market today. Therefore I was happy to buy a second one.

Great inexpensive alternative to the factory offerings
Considering the price difference between this remote shutter release and Nikon's own somewhat overpriced offerings this is a no brainer provided it works. And it does! And why shouldn't it? This type of electro-mechanical shutter release really shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

To be fair, the unit isn't as robust or solid feeling as Nikon's own, but it should work for awhile.

I'm using it successfully with a D200.

Works as advertised
Works very well with my d200 so far, better than spending over $100 on some model. It does the job. Thanks.
