4.0 out of 5 stars It works well, July 26, 2009

This review is from: ALZO Wireless Radio Shutter Release 300 ft range for Nikon Fuji SLR - incl. D700, D300, D200, D3, D2, D2H, D2Hs, D2X, D1, D1h, D1x & Fuji S3, S5, UVIR - by alzodigital.com (Electronics)

Wireless triggers can easily run well over $200. I've gone cheap a few times in the past and get burned about half the time. So I flipped a coin again and picked up this unit. And to be honest, it's made me very happy.

Simply put, it works.

The unit has a good feel, the dip switches are easy enough to access and inset enough to not get bumped accidentally. The button requires enough pressure to avoid any accidental clicks.

My only complaint is the receiver's auto-shutoff time. Sit idle long enough and it goes to sleep. The problem is that the exact amount of time seems to vary a bit. I've had nights when it went to sleep in less than 60 seconds, and other times when it seems to sit waiting and ready for nearly 20 minutes. But other than that, this is definitely worth the money.

Right up front: This item arrived (on time) in a cheap Chinese laden flimsy box, something you would expect to find fireworks in. It arrived with a battery; however this battery had "NG" marked on it with a black sharpy and they were right, it was "No Good." I had to go out and buy a battery, CR2. Its construction is of thin plastic and resembles the workmanship of a Child's toy rather than photographic equipment. That said, it now works fine on my Nikon D700 with 105 mm 2.8 VR lens. It auto focuses and fires without any issues. I just get the impression it is quickly put together in a Hong Kong sweat house and its reliability may not be for any extended time. We shall see. So Far, so good. Cpt. Jarvis

I use a Fuji S3 and a Fuji S3 UV/IR. This remote release works will with both.

I occasionally shoot weddings and will mount a camera high in the church to take natural light wide angle photos from above. Since I am usually on ground level, I cannot be in both places at once. This release does the job.

No higher compliment can be given - it works.
