One really fun accessory for your camera.
The media could not be loaded. The options are awesome. I never thought a shutter release could be so much fun. Being able to trigger the shutter in regularly timed intervals can make some pretty interesting time-lapse photography. Sunsets and sunrises can be set up and a short movie made. Make a slide show with the photos dissolving into the next is awesome easy. I find the unit well made and easy to operate once you figure it out, it is somewhat intuitive to operate. Have some fun.... get one and set your tripod and camera up the next time you see those awesome colors at sunrise or sunset. Or even during the day, shoot the clouds and watch them roll in or dissipate.

Works great as a remote timer
Works great as a remote timer, however my first one had the connector that attaches to my D7000 break after 2 weeks. Now that I know it's flimsy my second one is doing fine with me not bending it. Still compared to timer delay or lack of autofocus in low light shots, it's the only way to go for low light model photography. Even my new D750 that has the wifi control doesn't make it easier. The actual timer function can be fun as well if you have a secure place like a private roof to do time laps shots.

Nikon MC-36 clone
This is a pretty good approximation of the Nikon MC-36/36A I had for my D200. This is both good and bad, the MC-36 programming was never overly intuitive but if you're used to the Nikon this should be an easy remote to pick up - for a fraction of the price and with a connector appropriate for my Df.An added bonus that I don't recall from my now-gone MC-36 is that the remote works well as a simple trigger without batteries. I only rarely needed the advanced features of the MC-36, usually just wanting a remote shutter release. The majority of the time I'll just leave the batteries out of this remote and treat it like a slightly larger MC-DC2 equivalent.What I don't like is that this could be a great remote by itself, but the near slavish adherence to the MC-36 in form and function coupled with the very Nikon styling of the packaging places it into the cheap knock-off category. Which is odd, considering the emails I've been getting from Mudder which seem to be placing an emphasis on customer service.

NO Power button
This product is a cheap POS. Sure, it does the job described, but what is not described is that is DOES NOT have a power button to turn it off. You either have to remove the batteries after use or let them drain unnecessarily. I've never seen a device that could not be turned off. This is just bad design. Spend the extra money for a better model.

Cheap, poorly designed, but gets the job done.
Works fine once you figure out the crappy interface. Giving two stars because no on/off switch. Pretty stupid design. Feels very flimsy. Would defiantly recommend getting a nicer model because I'm sure it will break on me within a year or two.

Usefulness lvl is over 9000
I have used this shutter in my D7100 and works like a charm, has some nice features such as timer, program the number of shots you take, etc.It requires 2 AAA batteries for timer, light and susch settings, it doesn't haves an on/off swith so you will have to take the batteries out for shutting it down.By the way, it also works without the AAA's.My camera, a tripod and this release shutter are the perfect combination for night photography, taking macros, portraits, you name it. It's a must have for every one into photography.UPDATE. It has been two years since i've got it and still working in excellent conditions, the batteries do last a long time in this thing. So far i've used it in cold wather (somewhere near 4°C during night time), hot weather, rain etc. and still looks like bran new.

I didn't do enough research
I usually don't post a 3 star or less as I usually do a good amount of research of the products I buy from Amazon, but this one is one that I wish I'd done more research on. First off, I travel alot as I'm a truck driver, so my accessories like this stays in my camera bag until I really need it. Well, with in the first week of owning it, the plastic "glass" that was covering the display fell off, the glue holding it on, didn't hold very well. Secondly, the cable isn't really long enough for what I need, this is something that would be useful for macro shots or even night shots, but not if you want to be in the shot. Third and last is that it doesn't have an on and off switch, I have to take out the batteries everytime I put it back in my bag. I hate taking out and putting in batteries because I have really bad degenerative arthritis and it just sucks! So, I'll be looking for a different remote shutter and put this one up for a back up for when I need it, and next time I'll do more research.

Potentially useful - great price!
Like the more simplified version from Foto&Tech this seems to do the job it is made for. I have not had a chance to fully test it but I can confirm it will work with a Nikon D750, at least in terms of setting a delayed shutter release. Price, by comparison to Nikon's is very good. How useful is this? I'll put it this way the only reason I bought it was I can see using it very occasionally, it is not something I will use on an everyday basis and am therefore glad to pay the minimal price.So why only four stars, well the instruction manual, like so many nowadays, is in need of some serious review of the English translation. Come on folks it's not that hard to find someone who does speak/write English to correct the almost comical errors.Once I have an opportunity to test all of the functions I shall update the review.Oh and if you'd like to pay me I'll even go through the manual and rewrite (the English version) so it makes more sense.One last comment, in the questions/reviews of this product Mudder states it does not work with the 750, while another user says it does. I'll second that... for now.
