Digital camera Review: A Work Horse
Summary: 4 Stars
When my Nikon wireless remote died out I came across the Opteka RC2 via an Amazon product search. Ideally priced I was a little skeptical. Any second thoughts that I originally had about this product have gone away.
After a quick review of the instructions I removed the battery tab and set the release mode on my Nikon D90. Pairing up to both of my cameras was a breeze and on the money. Overall, shots were consistent within a solid shooting range between 5 and 15 feet.
The glossy black fingerprint magnet finish is the only small negative against this product. Not a big deal for me. For the last six months the RC2 has been a work horse without any powering up issues.
With a 3 volt CR2025 battery providing the juice, its all about usage. For my needs I replace batteries every six months and keep back ups handy. Mounting a small sticker noting the date of the last battery change is helpful too. Occasional users can get away with a one year replacement. For prolonged storage, I recommend removing the battery.
In the box, (1) CR2025 battery, instructions, and a one year manufacturer's warranty. Customer support can be reached via Opteka's very limited website. There are no customer support numbers posted. Only email links. Oddly this model is not even posted on the company's website.
Without a doubt, the Opteka RC2 Nikon Remote is a durable and cost effective tool. Its a welcome addition to my camera bag.
