Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this remote work on my D780; or what will?
DAVE E : Does the ML-L3 work on the Nikon D850?BONNIE H : It works on my Nikon D5100 and Nikon D7100KIM V : The Nikon USA page showing remote release accessories for the D850 does NOT list this remote. I believe the D850 uses radio remotes, not infra-red remotes which the ML-L3 is. This site does not allow links, but the following should help you to get there: Go to nikonusa-dot-com, select cameras, then DSLR from the menu, then select FX series cameras from the page. Scroll down a bit, and you will see the D850, click on that image. This takes you to the D850 overview, along the top of the page are menu items, select "accessories". This brings up a page with various accessory categories, click on the text "View Compatible Remotes & Releases". You should now see all the compatible remotes and releases for the D850.DELMAS B : I have used the same ML-L3 for a D40, D5300 and D750. The D850 should also work; you could check the manual, but this has performed very well with numerous Nikon platforms for me.
Shopper : WILL THIS WORK ON MY nIKON 5100?GREG S : I have no ideaROBERT W : I don't know if it works with a 5100. Check your user's manual if the camera body has an IR receiver. It should be somewhere in front of the camera. In order to work, you have to aim somewhere towards the front of the camera. I hope it helps, RobertKEN S : According to Crutchfield, another store that sells this remote, YES (D5100). Adorama is a great store. I'm surprised they weren't able to answer your question.

A pleasure to use and a must to have.

Works perfectly and battery lasts for many years. Easy to replace the standard CR2030 battery when it finally does need replacement having a remote like this is a must to eliminate camera shake and allow really sharp photos. Also great for getting into a group shot yourself. A pleasure to use.

No Instrucions

Works great but comes with no instructions. The owners manual that came with my D3400 had no instructions on how to use. I had to go to YouTube to learn that there is a button on the back of the camera that has to be activated to use it. Once I found that out it works perfectly.

Excellent device

Excellent device which works up to10-15 feet away from your camera. My camera can fire either instantly, 2 second auto delay or menu set variable delay all insuring a steady photo. Note that a battery and a cloth case is included in the package.

Great Nikon DSLR Remote, Z series not so much.

Works as advertised on D series bodies. My Z6ii is having none of it, but my two D750’s are functioning flawlessly.

Generics cost for less.

This Nikon brand remote does the job. But, you can find cheaper models that also work well. Amazon Basics has a remote that's nearly identical for about half of the price. But, you don't get the love and attention of Adorama's excellent sales team.

Nikon ML-L3 IR Remote Control Transmitter for many Digital Cameras

This is a great product to have when taking selfies or group pictures that you want to be in. Also when taking pictures and you want to focus on those you are taking pictures of. I definitely think it is a product to have.

Didn’t work

I’m sure it’s a great product but it doesn’t work for my camera. I will trade it for something instead of having to pay shipping and handling fees to ship back a product that shouldn’t ever been sent because I’m sure knowledge that this remote wouldn’t work for a d3500 Nikon should have been used prior to sending this particular remote

Easy to use,you just set up, point it and shoot.

It worked really well, I used it for astrophotography with mup mode on a tripod, so hands free and no movement to the camera . I will continue to use it for various uses, landscape and still life. Thanks.

ML-L3 Doesn't work with D3500

%he ML-L3 is not compatible with the D3500. The D3500 can be triggered remotely using the camera's built-in Bluetooth and a compatible Android or iOS smart device that is running Nikon's free SnapBridge app.

Nikon ML-L3 IR Remote Control Transmitter

I bought and use the remote for my Nikon D3000. The remote worked great after making a few adjustments in the menu settings. The remote is very small and can fit anywhere. It is line of sight so the remote needs to be pointed at the front of the camera (not necessarily straight into the front, but close). For what it costs it does a great job.

it's o.k.

I would prefer a wired version of remote, but my Nikon only uses this type, which is less responsive...it has to be pointed at just the right place to fire...

Intuitive and functional

Works just like it says. Very intuitive design, and it works with the bulb shutter setting. Does require line of sight to camera, but it's small enough (not even the length of my index finger) to be discrete.

ML-L3 with Nikon D7000

By Malaysia A.

At first, there was some head-scratching. The ML-L3 didn't come with an instruction manual. The instructions are in the Nikon D7000 Manual on page 80! I'll summarise it here (for Nikon D7000): 1) Press "MENU" button on camera body. Select the icon that looks like a camera (ie. "SHOOTING MENU"). 2) Scroll up or down until you find "Remote Control Mode", then press "OK". The default is "2s(seconds) Delayed Remote". I chose "Quick-response remote" meaning if you use the ML-L3, the shutter will f...

Excellent remote at a great price

By Photojan

Super product. Works perfectly. (To those who can't make the ML-L3 function, LOOK AT YOUR CAMERA MANUAL. For most models, set the release-mode dial to "remote," then go into the shooting menu and choose between immediate release and delay.)

Enables wireless remote shutter release. Trigger the shutter remotely when using slower shutter speeds to prevent camera movement.
