Basic Cable release that works well.

 

I was looking for a basic cable release rather than one that replicates many of the features that Pro Nikon DSLR's already have. It has a feature to lock the shutter when in bulb mode (a sliding switch). The product works as advertised.

Awesome remote

 

This remote unit works perfectly. The locking feature is the easiest to use out of any of these trigger release devices. I used to have one years ago but I replaced it with a cheaper alternative after I accidentally slammed the unit in a door. I have...

Basic wired remote cable

 

A basic wired remote cable. Nothing fancy. Doesn't use any batteries. So you never have to worry about it not working. A little expensive. Wish it had a coiled cord so it wouldn't shake the camera when putting it down.

Works as it should

 

I think this items works well. Look forward to using it more. It is needed for the D800 camera, especially when shooting at 36MP.

Works as Intended

 

This remote cable I had to get for my Nikon D700. It is ok. It is pretty short and pretty expensive. I gave it four stars and knocked one off because I don't think the functionality or length justifies the cost (over $50 US Dollars??). Come on Nikon,...

Nikon remote release

Quit working after a couple of years

 

I've had the MC-30 for 2.5 years. It worked fine for a year or so, then the release stage (full press) started behaving erratically. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. It got worse and worse, and now it doesn't work at all. I make...

For Nikon fans, I guess

 

I frequently use an electronic cable like this with my D700. So far, I've been through 4 or 5 of the generic ones but other than the frustration, at $5-$10 apiece it's not that big a deal. Still, after getting caught with a broken one and not having a...

Apparent Nikon Knock-off

 

I have used an MC-30 almost every day for 2 yrs. We severed the cable and had to order a new one here. This new one lasted less than 2 days before it began miss-firing. Then we saw the neck behind the nut (that affixes to the body) was cracked. Wires...
