for the nonchalant

The remote is too small, and why is the diagram showing where the different parts are, only in German and Japanese? In this country, English is still the primary language, and I may read German, but I don't understand enough to translate the instructions here. Also, I can't see the print on the remote in the dark, and the buttons are a little too small, even for my small fingers. I don't understand why the camera locks up after I change the battery, and it's very frustrating to try and use something that is just going to mess up my camera, and thus my project. Also, the cord is a bit too short. Can't say I'm happy with this item.

I have used this devise extensively and it is definately required for tele-3X converters, macro, registration/animation shots. I'm using a Nikon 995 and without it the above photos would have been degraded without its useage. A necessary item. However, the flip side is that some evil designer, who should be demoted, only allowed for a 2 minute min. interval. Not 1 min, 30, 10, 5 sec's DUH! In addition the plug is really small, unplugs readily (even when you don't want to) and the cord is really short,with no extensions available. In addition, the USB port that accepts this devise has worn rather quickly for a Nikon, with connection becoming erractic if at all. The camera is presently in repair for replacement of the port/connector. I think that NIKON should issue some sort of incentive for those who bought this accessory. Its a love/hate relationship.

All the comments here are spot on. I found a much better unit called the 'digisnap' (made by harbortronics) which works better, both as a remote release (longer cable, no filter) and a timelapse controller (much faster interval -- 5 sec vs. 2 min). Skip the Nikon unit.
