User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Very much needed…
If you are going to do any type of shooting from a tripod then this is a must have. Simple to connect easy to use.

5 Stars classic and easy to use.
This small part works well with Nikon D80 camera.

When I took pictures for fireworks in Memorial Day night, it enabled me take pictures and enjoy the fireworks at the same time.

I recommend strongly to have one!

I have ML-L3 remote wireless too, but it only works well in front of camera.

4 Stars It works well enough
It is, as several have mentioned, difficult to plug into the camera all the way. It is a tiny, awkward connection that requires nimble fingers. Also, it is too easy to slide the shutter lock inadvertently. With either the connection or lock even invisibly out of place, the unit will not work.

However, once all is snug, it works perfectly.

It would be nice if the Nikon remotes were a little more generic, and fit more than a couple of models.

4 Stars Good timed exposure tool
This has two main advantages over the cordless remote: you can stand anywhere you want within the cord’s limit, and you can use the shutter release lock to hold the exposure without tiring your thumb.

However, the lock can be accidentally engaged if you have fat thumbs like me, so it’s worth being careful. It’s also worth noting that connecting the cable can jolt an already framed shot, as it takes some oomph to push it in.

Overall, a well constructed unit, but be careful with the shutter release lock.

4 Stars Remote cord for Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera
Thie device is small enough to carry in your picket or any carry bag without taking up much space. The only drawback to this device is that for low light situations, such as shooting fireworks or places where flash is not allowed, it malfunctions, meaning that it don’t release the shutter. The other drawback, which is not really a big issue, is that it don’t allow you to do any continous shooting.
