The Adorama remote is an economical shutter release solution for Nikon cameras. The connection to the camera is nice snug fit. It stays put. The silver button is handy in dark studios like mine. I been using the remote for about a month. I use when I'm shooting macro to eliminate camera movement. I have had no problems with it.

I had read all the reviews before purchasing and bought it. I love the simplicity of it and the snug fit...I don't have to worry about it. Works wonderful for what I need and use it for.
from Freeport, ME on 6/12/2008
It's great for macro shots because it eliminates camera shake and is especially useful when the camera is mounted upside down below the top of the tripod close to the ground.

I didn't have any trouble getting it plugged in as some have reported.The shutter release works fine and the half push is easily detectable but I haven't been able to make the shutter open function work yet.[...]

This controller behaves as I expected on my D3. As someone else mentioned: the plug does not seem to fit all the way into my camera's socket. It maybe goes in 3/4 of the way. Nonetheless, it fulfills its simple purpose, and this issue was not a deal breaker for me.

I'm not sure if the plug fits properly in the D300 female. I haven't tried Nikon's to see if it is any easier. It just doesn't sem to seat all the way. The release does work, though. No complaints in that department.

There were no instructions or examples on how to use the remote. Please do and notify me.

fine job - takes getting used to as it is sensitive, but after that...OK.

from Podunk, VA on 9/1/2007
It's funny that a lot of the reviews say a tight fit like that's a bad thing. I guess it would be better if it were loose and came out unintentionally? Anyway I got mine today and it fits great, there are three fins that match with three grooves in the camera plug, assuring proper insertion. Works like the shutter button, gentle touch-focus, push all the way-trips shutter.

A couple of the pins in the connector were too thick, and the remote would not fit into the socket on the camera.
from Victoria Australia on 7/10/2007
Connection to the camera is a little stiff and fidly to attach so I just leave mine on. I tether it to the camera neckstrap and because it is lightweight it is not a bother.
Lone gone are the days when you could use a 3 dollar cable release. This item works like it should. If you have a D200 you need this item. This is just as good as the Nikon release and at a much better price. When Adorama puts its name on a product, it lives up to its name.
from San Jose, CA on 5/21/2007
It's certainly a valid purchase if you don't want to go with the official Nikon's cable. The release button is a little hard to operate at first. In general I'm very satisfied and I found this to be a great accessory
from Englewood, Co. on 5/8/2007
Simple and easy to use. Connection into camera is a little tight and can be difficult to attach. Otherwise it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Seems to be well made differing from what other reviewers have said.
from White Hall Arkansas on 3/26/2007
First time to use a remote release, my telephoto shots are really sharp.
from Mountain VIew, CA on 3/26/2007
Simple, functional, and the price is right.
from State College, PA on 2/12/2007
I have used it on 4 major trips for long exposures near sunrise/sunset and night shots. It works great for removing vibrations associated with a photographer touching the camera to set off the shutter.

No problems in using the non-Nikon Remote Release
from Newport Beach, CA on 2/5/2007
This is a very handy way to shoot in low light or just to make sure your shots come out focused. I use my cable all the time for real estate, night shots and groups. The cable has a nice feel while shooting and the plug fits snugly in the camera (D200) every time.
I used a wireless remote on my D70 and had some issues. The cable focuses the camera and shoots just as fast as the camera shutter release button,
Its 6 feet of length is really all you need. very simple to use. You do need to be conscious about the keeping light out of the viewfinder without touching the camera.
from Fruita, CO on 2/5/2007
This is easy to use and works great. It is very snug to plug in which helps keep it in place. It is simple to use and works great.
from Newport Beach, CA on 1/29/2007
I photograph real estate and I try my hardest to use the camera on a tripod without extra lighting thanks to digital. This is a great tool without any problems for hands off camera use. Its fun to use and the plug fits very snug into the camera.

from Rockville, MD on 12/15/2006
This remote works fine - as a very basic remote shutter release. Switch has two positions - prefocus - and release. It also has third position - which looks like lock. Maybe it is for continuous shooting - i did not try; and there is no users manual to explain. Remote also has some plug - looks like a headphones plug. No clue what for - but I am only beginner - so maybe it should be clear to more experienced photographer. The overall feel of remote is very cheap - thin plastic - the parts don't fit perfectly each other. For almost $[...] - I would expect more proffesional design. On the other hand it works fine as a shutter release (question is only for how long)
