Adorama Wireless Radio Remote Release for Nikon D200/D2X/D100 Digital Cameras Review

Maybe it's just me, but I have to say for $100.00 (price I paid for it), I found this product to be quite weak and disappointing.
I had a heck of a time getting it to work, half of the time the receiver wouldn't pick up the signal and I was just a few feet away. I fiddled with it for quite some time and it was bad enough that I became quite frustrated with it and rarely if ever use it anymore. I became frustrated as I would setup the shot, get all ready, and half the time the remote didn't work.
You have to make sure you turn it off, there is no sleep or timeout mode, else the next time you want to use it, the battery is dead. Takes one of these batteries: Duracell Ultra Lithium Battery 3V, CR2 , 2 batteries.
The construction is lower grade plastic and feels like a $19.00 product instead of a $100.00 product. Even the carrying case is low quality for that price. Every time I would plug it in the 10-pin connector I was worried I would bend the pins or screw up the connector due to "fragility" of the remote.
I have this remote also: NIKON MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord ( 33.5 inches ) - granted it's not wireless and I get why one would want wireless, that's why I bought this product, but if you compare the two remotes from what you get for the price, this remote falls way short. Instead of using this wireless remote to take self portraits, I now program in interval timed shots in the MC-36 and I can get exactly what I want and never be frustrated with the remote.
I am sorry, and maybe it's me and I am not smart enough to make this work, but I cannot recommend this product - but in my defense - a product like this, at this price, should be reliable and easy to use. My guess is if you drop $100.00 on it, you will be disappointed like me. Wireless technology is not that expensive these days so there is no justification for making something this "cheap" and charging a premium for it.

Eliminates the need for a cable release. Allows the camera to be fired from a distance up to 100 ft. uses RF (radio frequency) signals, not line-of-sight like infrared. Transmitter has a 2 position switch...press lightly for prefocusing, and then continue pressing to release the shutter. LED lights indicate prefocus and exposure. May be used on up to 16 channels...user settable.

Nikon ML L3 - Remote control - infrared Review

I purchased this in January to use with my Nikon D80. I am just now getting around to use it and it does not work. This is not a Nikon product. This one is a KT-ML-L3 not a ML-L3. I plan on purchasing the ML-L3 that Amazon sells for $19.99. Don't waste your money on this one.

For photographers, sometimes there is the need to take a picture without jostling the camera in any way, and for Nikon digital SLR users, the Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote is the way to do it. Take a picture without disturbing the focus and keep the camera completely steady by using a wireless remote. It may be that you need to be included in the photograph such as in a family portrait. Or, you may need to position the camera in such a way that the subject will not be disturbed by your presence. Whatever the need, a wireless remote is best for the task. The slim design of the wireless remote triggers the shutter without disturbing the position of the camera, so you get perfectly focused photographs without a hint of vibration every time you use it.

WT-1A Wireless Transmitter Set Review

WT-1A Wireless Transmitter Set

I had it connected to my D2x. To set it up working, the WT-1a requires a lot of technical knowhow. If you are the average (or even pro photog)whose computer tech skills are limited, you will hardly get it done. Even if you were successful linking the WT-1A to your computer, maintaining that link in the long run is an irritant because of some glitches that happen from time to time. Transmission time is not that fast as I had anticipated. It takes time for the WT-1a to link-up and "find" your laptop. I have not used it yet with a desktop (could be faster). I had no problems transmitting JPEGs. I tried RAW files and it takes ages waiting for completion of transmission. For the $106 I paid Cameta, it was worth the try. I just wonder why other stores are selling it for over $300.
