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 harms. No set up required, just remove the array tab, set your camera's release mode, and you're ready to go (at least for my model, the D5000). No harms with the autofocus either, and it works from a excellent distance as well as pointing it at an angle out of the camera's view for shots where I just don't want to go the camera. It doesn't come with a pouch like the ML-L3, but it costs less, and otherwise seems to work fine.
Brilliant 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 excellent too. I am completely satisfied.
Like 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 active it around a further room to this cam and it worked fantastic. Feels solid and very well engineered. Will be buying more for my family (my dad has a D80.)
Like it! Works like a Charm!

This small device is such a fantastic addendum to my gear! It works like a charm right from the box! I am thought of buying a further one just in case I lose this one!

Before I had this remote control, I had to struggle with self-timer. I could never get a picture of myself that had nice pose! This item has solved my conundrum so far! Thank you for such fantastic thought!

I would absolutely urge it to anyone I know who needs some help like I did before. Thanks! 5-star!!!
fantastic remote if with a better instruction

First of all, this is a fantastic wireless remote like all here says. It works very well from different directions. But, the instruction is not very clear to me on the paper coming with the remote.

For users who do not know about this, here is how I set it up for my nikon d40:

Please go to the menu of the camera and then go the shoot mode (single frame(default), continuous(burst), 2' delayed remote, quick-response remote) and then choose either the 2'delayed remote or the quick-response remote. Now you are ready to go. Just press the button on your remote, and it will work. Note that the infrared cannot be seen by human eyes so that you will see no visible light from the LED on.
