Excellent product,just what I needed. Came very Quick and well packaged. I recomend that if the app drops every 20 seconds dont think is defective as I thoad jus put your cell phone in airplane mode and it will work flawlessly. I can now recomend this product as is no different from a brand new one.thanks Adorama..

This wireless unit is an essential accessory for the D3300. It provides the same feature for the D3300 that I have had in my D750. Viewing and transferring images from the D3300 to my iOS and Android devices could not be easier!

It took me a while to figure out how it works as my camera kept disconnecting from my Android, however, after asking around in a Nikon forum found out I need to be put it in airplane mode. Don't remember reading that in the documentation. I've since discovered others here in the reviews saying same. I've bought it simply for sharing to my phone while away on a holiday but I like that I can also use it as a remote control for my camera too. Cool tool.

The WU-1a wireless adapter works fine with two of my Nikon cameras. The device is pretty small which is a plus. Newer wireless adapters would probably incorporate the faster AC wireless protocols. It works OK with my Android phone. Nikon deserves praise for keeping this device in their catalog, even when the newer Nikons incorporate Wi-Fi I would have liked it if it worked with Windows 10 laptops because it might make a useful alternative to tethered shooting for some scenarios.

I was very excited when I saw that this device was available for my camera (DF), but that soon changed to buyer's remorse. I shoot exclusively in RAW format, and was hoping that this device would allow me to transfer my NEF files from my camera to my phone, so that I may upload them to a cloud storage location for processing later. Unfortunately, the app does not allow for batch downloads of NEF files, but instead converts all files to JPEG. I can download single files from my camera in NEF format, but to do so after a day of shooting would take forever. As a result, I can honestly say that this is the single most disappointing product that I have ever purchased from Nikon. The app itself hasn't been updated since Dec 2016, despite several poor reviews.

I've only used this once. It worked great and was fairly easy to use. The downside is that it sucks the power right out of the battery.

I like it okay. It’s nice to view photos as you shoot, but the camera controls are really lacking. The app is seems as if it’s a beta version.

did not work with my camera

Very pleased thus far. It's pretty cool being able to control the camera from the Android app on my phone. It does more than what I was expecting.

Great add-on to the deal.

The app is always crashing and until you try it five times it won't send you the photos.

This little module is designed to add Wi-Fi capability to Nikon cameras that don't have internal Wi-Fi radios. It doesn't work all that well, awkwardly sticks out the side of your camera when connected and is so small you're likely to lose it when not in use. I received one with a camera body and used it exactly once.

This device was on special and I figured, why not. It now hangs unobtrusively of my strap, and have used to do quick image uploads to Facebook or to share images, using both iPad and iPhone. Yeah, the software is pretty basic, and it can lose connection. But being able to quickly upload a few high quality images before an event, or share when nobody has a card reader is very useful. Set the device to airplane mode and it makes it easier to connect via WiFi. Beats WiFi cards which are far from perfect.

The wifi adapter is awesome. I can now take a picture and view it on a much larger screen then make any adjustments I feel necessary and shoot again

Perfect for connecting phone to camera for limited transfers and taking group photos.

Works as advertised, my only issue is the design and fire it sticks out the side. I fear that using it while actively shooting, it will get broken. I only use when traveling and need to transfer images. I use this on the Nikon Df

When deciding between the D7200 and D7100 models, one item was having the wireless adapter intergrated into the camera body or using the adapter. We went the D7100 route and have enjoyed the adapter with no issues. It makes it fun to capture family photos without having to go check the camera thru use of the app. Also being able to push pictures to other peoples phones without moving to a flash card is awesome. Overall great product.

This device is not the most user friendly. I've played around with it for a bit. I like the idea of posting photos online taken on my camera from my phone while I'm out and about instead of having to wait to get home. Fiddling around with the app is a bit confusing, and the adapter doesn't maintain a strong connection to my phone when only 5ft away. When you can get it to work it's a handy device, but I have since just thrown it in a junk drawer since I got this as a free bonus item with my purchase of the Nikon D7100.

It works as advertised. Super easy to use and transfer speeds are quick.

Have not had chance to use it yet. Quick test in the house makes me want to use it on next photo shoot

I recently took this on a trip and it was perfect for quick uploads from my Nikon DF to my cell phone. You wouldn't/couldn't upload an entire session, but uploading favorites to edit with the VSCO app and posting to social media... it was perfect. TIP!!! Turn iphone into airplane mode before connecting to the wifi. You'll have a much greater chance at a successful transfer.

This is a first light review. Using on a D7100. In camera control mode I got view through lens and shutter release. There is a focus box similar in appearance to my iphone box, but it only seemed to activate at center of image. I was not able to get the focus box to move from center by tapping or sliding to an off center location. Image download seemed to take about a minute. Will need to time and relate to image size. I believe it was set to large/basic. In View Photo mode; downloaded image on iPad mini for both through lens view and photo review did not fill screen, it occupied the middle third of the screen vertically and horizontally. Better than the view finder, but less than I hoped for. iPad mini Wifi connection to camera is not robust. Instructions didn't mention that you need to turn on wireless connectivity in camera's menu system. Had to remember that that there was such a setting, and to find and change it.

Muito ruim. A conexão cai com muita frequência. Demora muito para atualizar os ajustes feitos na câmera. No sistema Android não aparece a imagem do visor. No sistema iOS é muito lento. Para mim foi um péssimo investimento. Não condiz com o padrão de qualidade Nikon. Minha impressão é que a Nikon lançou um produto no mercado sem o devido teste.

The adapter adds wi-fi to my D7100 but the design forces you to plug it into the side of your camera and it comes off easily if bumped. The D7100 should've had wi-fi built into the camera like the D7200 and the adapter which works well was an after thought by Nikon.
