1 Star False advertisement, plus it’s not a good product.
I was supposed to be the photographer at a friend’s party, and I was going to use this for everyone to take their own photos. Well, now I’ll have to make do with the timer. I’m returning it because of the false claim that it works on my D3000 and I suggest everyone do the same, even if it is only $10. This is directly from the instruction book: RC-2 Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40X, D70S, D70, D50, 8400, 8800, F75, F65, F55, N65, N75, Nuvis S, Lite Touch. There are more for Canon and other brands, but this remote does not work for my D3000 like the title suggests.
The one thing any small piece of technology like this needs is a small loop so that the owner can put a string through it so they don’t lose it. It disappointed me on all fronts.
5 Stars great buy!
very impressed with this item. you would rather buy this compared to other brands and is way more cheaper!
5 Stars Love 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 bouncing it around another room to this cam and it worked great. Feels solid and very well engineered. Will be buying more for my family (my dad has a D80.)
1 Star Opteka Rc-2 wireless remote
Although it came with fast shipping, gets a 5 star for portability, and is exactly what I “thought” I wanted, I am very dissappointed in this! It clearly states in the posting that it is for a Nikon D60, when I actually received it at home though it clearly states in the information guidebook that this is NOT for the D60!! Doesn’t work for my camera!! I only paid $10 for it, so not worth the hassle of returning it for a refund, but still upsets me that I paid the company for something that they misrepresented to me! Most likely a great remote if you’re lucky enough to actually have it work with your camera.
5 Stars Excellent 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 good too. I am completely satisfied.
