Phottix TR-90 Multi-Function Timer Remote with Digital Timer Control for Nikon D70/D80 (Nikon TC-80N3 Compatible Cord)

This is a little more expensive than some of the other remotes I've had in the past. I've only had it a couple of weeks. So far, so good. Easy to use and works well.

This is a well made remote control for my Nikon 810. It is easy to use and program and it fits comfortably in the hand.

First, ignore the web page that says it ships with 2xAAA batteries: IT DOES NOT. So if you go from the post office to the field with it, you may be disappointed. Functionally, it's very comparable to the Canon intervalometer. It has a proper on/off switch through holding down the start/stop button for a few seconds. It feels good in your hand. I'm using it on a Canon SL1 for star trail photography, and it seems to work just fine. If I had my preference, and Canon timers weren't so bloody expensive, I'd not buy a third party - personal preference. And since the SL1 doesn't have the three pin connector and needs an additional cable to convert, it's even more expensive, even use. I'd rather buy used Canon gear than new non-Canon, but that's me. All in all, this seems to be a nice timer. We shall see how well it holds up over time.

I used the Photix TR-90 for about 3 months and it performed wonderfully at the task of timing my long exposures. The frequency of use was 3-5 times per month, so 10-15 uses before it stopped communicating with my camera. The timer function continued but it no longer controls the shutter. Prior to it's abject failure I could bring on it's erratic behaviour by moving the wire at the camera end back & forth...a loose connection. Very frustrating. I use the device to collect long exposures for astrophotography & this is a malady seemingly common. I am now on my 3rd intervalometer in 2 years.

Very useful and easy to operate. Use it often for Astrophotography. Programming is easy using the small screen.

I've had a few remote timers but this one is the only one I found without a learning curve. It has an on-off switch, 2 aaa batteries for plenty of power. Set to activate and start imaging. Has a stop feature to interrupt shooting and a restart. I am using mine for astro imaging so after I shut off the unit I can turn it on the next evening and the previous settings have been saved. great features are on-off switch, 2 3-a batteries, fool proof adjusting settings and settings memory. doug

I just want to use it as a shutter release for my Nikon D800, but it won't work at all.

Just received the TR-90 for my Canon 5D Mark IIs. It's unusable. The connector doesn't have a threading screw to tighten into the camera body. The unit's female connector simply fits onto the camera's three pins and falls off. Just seeing how it works at my desk, the thing falls off. Without a screwing mechanism, this is useless.

Easy to use, so far not one mishap.

I use this product for astronomy imaging with a Canon 20DA. I take multi images of the same object for up to 3 to 4 hours. Hands free operations. I also own their other remotes for the Fuji IS Pro and for the Canon T3i.

The only reason I didnt give this item 5 stars is because the directional controls are a little cumbersome. The Canon version has an actual button to switch between modes. Other than that, it works just fine. No other reason to buy the Canon one.

I've had a similar unit before for another body and the lack of a power switch was annoying always having to take the batteries out between uses, this model now includes a power switch which helps no end, and the functionality of the unit is great for time lapse shots, bulb exposures, and other landscape shots with longer shutter speeds where you don't want to be touching/bumping the camera while shooting... also handy to use in cold weather for remote release off a tripod while wearing gloves.

Great product, easy to use. 1 page user-manual which was easy to understand and was quickly able to learn to use it.

There are two photographers in the house and we both like to make long exposure photos. We have been sharing a Nikon intervalometer, MC-36, and we have had too many conflicts around who was going to get to use it. We needed another one but did not want to pay the price of another Nikon unit. The Phottix TR-90 is perfect for what we want. Its controls are identical to the Nikon so it does not matter who gets which unit. Works great!

I used this product for multi-images for the 2012 Venus Transit, and also for long multi-images in astronomy.

I was looking for something that was comparable to the Canon C8, but didnt want to spend more money than needed. Found the Phottix version, and am happy to say it has met all my expectations. Has all the features of the canon TC-80 at around half the price.
