At first this simple cord looks cheap but after some use its nice to use for time exposures /tripod shots .The plastic plug end is tight and slightly over sized and takes some work to insert / line up in the 10 pin jack. You can push the trigger half way to just focus the camera ( DSLR cameras ) and release with a lock to hold it for time exposures .

As it is one of the lower priced releases I am happy with it , It looks very cheap but works fine.

I purchased this for my landscape photography to use the mirror up feature on my D200 and for some self portraits.

I've liked it. It's simple and works as advertised. You press it halfway down to measure exposure just like the shutter button and depress all the way to take the shot.

My only issue is that the cord is not very long. If you are trying to do a cool self portrait for face book I hope you have a lens that's less than 50mm. You can get a decent torso shot but with a longer lens you will be limited.

But it's cheap, and works well so unless you're smoking hot and are taking full body shots of yourself all the time this will serve you very well (which is why it works perfectly for me).

I shoot the large majority of my captures using this remote release, a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod, an Arca-Swiss ballhead, and a Really Right Stuff L-plate on my DSLR, with camera settings (i.e. mirror-up) set as appropriate... all in an effort to minimize camera shake during exposure. Shaking the camera just one pixel's worth effectively cuts your resolution in half. Also, I often shoot five to nine bracketed exposures for HDR purposes, and sometimes shoot multi captures for focus stacking. These methods require the images getting aligned in software; the closer they are to spot-on to-the-pixel alignment to begin with, the better. After trying many remote releases this is the one that stays in my bag (along with an identical back-up). I find a coiled cord to be much better than a straight one when it comes to taking a beating from field use, and the plunger mechanism on this release is reliable - one triggering with your thumb gives you one and only one exposure. Sounds simple, but cheaper cords have a real problem achieving this. With this cord you have to learn to keep the slider away from the locked position. It can sort of wander over. Once that is mastered this cord works like it is supposed to work. It's not much to ask, but it seems to be hard to ensure in this price range. I've never tried the Nikon MC-36, which would be my next alternative. At four times the cost of this Adorama cord, I hope I never have to pay for that privilege.
