Digital camera Review: Opteka Wireless Radio Remote Shutter Release for Nikon D200
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted an inexpensive shutter release to avoid the use of the timer for group photos and long exposures. Although inelegant to have the receive dangling off the camera, the remote works great. The dip switches on the front of the receiver seem hazardous to the operation of the Opteka but, so far, have not presented a probem.Digital camera Review: Gotta Love a Remote Trigger With A Reach

I wish IR technology would just die - long live radio waves! I also wish push-button on/off switches would die - I think its a conspiracy propagated by the battery manufacturers - know what I mean? I take the batteries out before putting it in my camera bag. Also, Opteka's website has NO support on it - no product documentation that I could find - its just a shopping site - I lost or tossed the little paper it came with, and had to re-figure-out how to get the shutter-button to stay down for trap focusing, all by myself. Still, once its powered up and connected, it works great.Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed too.

Works great even from a distance. My only gripe is that it doesn't use standard batteries which makes replacing them in a pinch rather difficult. remove the batteries after every use and you'll be safe.Digital camera Review: Works?

Don't know but I just could not get it to work on my D700 Sent it back.
Maybe it is not compatible? ? ?
Digital camera Review: Works great
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this to use with my D300. It came in a basic no thrills box and came with the batteries. It has worked fine. I went on a three day workshop and used it every day all throughout the day. When I used it all day I left it on the camera the entire time and screwed it into the plug - when in my home studio I just plug it in without screwing it down, it stays on just fine. Overall I probably shot about 1000 pictures with it and it seems to be going fine. If I ever get to the point of convincing myself to put a piece of velcro on my camera, then I will secure it to the camera with a piece of velcro; I'm afraid that it dangling and swinging will eventually put stress on the wires and break them, but so far so good and still velcro free. There are some visible dip switches on the remote, but I didn't buy it for its look, I bought because of the good price. The switches enable you to change the frequency if needed.
