Customer Reviews

Works fine
At this price, I bought a spare figuring I'll probably loose it. It looked to do the same job as the Nikon ML-L3, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've had no problems. No set up required, just remove the battery tab, set your camera's release mode, and you're ready to go (at least for my model, the D5000). No problems with the autofocus either, and it works from a good distance as well as pointing it at an angle out of the camera's view for shots where I just don't want to move the camera. It doesn't come with a pouch like the ML-L3, but it costs less, and otherwise seems to work fine.
Excellent wireless remote
I use this with nikon d3000 in quick release mode and it works in virtually all direction such as sides and back , did not need to train as inside pamphlet suggested, range is pretty good too. I am completely satisfied.
Love it!
With your nikon there should be a timer setting that you can page through until a remote shows up (with or without a timer too) that enables this. I can use it in front, back and on the sides of the camera. We even played with bouncing it around another room to this cam and it worked great. Feels solid and very well engineered. Will be buying more for my family (my dad has a D80.)
