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.

I took this out of the box for the first time, loaded the batteries, popped this onto my camera, and was taking close-up pictures of birds at our feeding station within two minutes. Using a Nikon D80. Definitely plug and play. Seems to be sturdy and high quality, too. Recommended.

WT-1A Wireless Transmitter Set Review

WT-1A Wireless Transmitter Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

I've got a D90 and was torn with Nikon's whole CLS thing. It sounds great, except you'd have to buy pricey SB-XXX strobes to make it happen. I got an SB-600 about a week ago and it turned out to be a faulty item which would not fire. That night I researched and ended up ordering two YN-460II's and two sets of these radio triggers (wanted two receivers and an extra receiver alone was only $6 less than a set). The total came to $60 less than the $240 SB-600. Returned the SB-600 the next day.
Tried them out tonight and they've worked perfectly so far. Fired off at least a hundred shots with two strobes and have had zero issues. The items are surprisingly well built. And what's nice is batteries are included. Very nice since the trigger uses a CR2 battery, a pair of which costs $17 at Walgreens.
For the price, amazing.

PYLE PLMP3C1 Plug In Car MP3/USB/SD/Ipod Wireless FM Transmitter/Modulator Review

PYLE PLMP3C1 Plug In Car MP3/USB/SD/Ipod Wireless FM Transmitter/Modulator
Average Reviews:

Con: The display is not accurate and misleading; can really only work the system thru the remote control; cheap plastic, broke part of it replacing the battery which stopped working after using twice, but the remote still works.
But on the other hand...
Pro: Transmitter holds the radio frequency, whereas others I've tried thru amazon did not. And the info is easy enough to read--not something to do while driving anyway so doesn't matter much. It seems to hold together better, structurally than others I've used -- can be hairy pulling it in and out of the socket with some other models. Came with the mp3 plug and a light bulb; with others I had to purchase them myself, & not easy to find in my small town.
For the price it's not bad. And I'm looking forward to the next model or an upgrade. This is another reason why I like to do reviews, so I can tell the developer what I'd like them to improve on.
