Q&A

Questions & Answers

guillermo m : Will it work with Nikon d5100?
Henry M : Is this compatible with a Nikon D70?Phil B : Yes. The Phottix product number, 18310, indicated in the sales information makes sure this is the correct TR-90 for use with the Nikon D70.
BILL L : Will this work with the Nikon D-90? Does it have a shut off switch?BRUCE J : I believe you can accomplish the mirror raising by setting your camera to engage the mirror and then setting up the interval meter for two exposures. Make the first for just a few seconds to raise the mirror and stabilize the camera and then the second exposure to capture the image. I don't have this unit but am considering it. I now use a manual trigger. The first time I trip the button to raise the mirror; the second time I lock it and time the exposure.

TR-90 Multi-Function Timer Remote

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.

Great Remote Control

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.

I'm impressed

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.

Frustrating Failures

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 good product.

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

remote timer for the non-techie in us

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

doesn't work!

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

Not suitable for Canon EOS

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.

Great Product

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.

Not a bad alternative to the Canon

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.

Finally an on/off switch!

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 for remote shooting

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

Phottix TR-90

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!

Phottix TR-90 C8

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.

The Phottix TR-90 Multi-Function remote (PH18310) provides a simple trigger function and can activate the bulb function on Nikon N6 cameras. It provides such functions as a self-timer, interval timer, long-exposure timer, exposure count setting feature. It is a good replacement for Nikon MC-36.
