This is a great little addition to the Nikon D90 instead of the IR remotes that have the sensor too far to the front for discreet wildlife photography. Only problem I find with it is the lack of instructions. There were only instructions for installing the battery, duh! Product works great for bulb triggering (after I figured you had to hold the button down until the light blinked off) to hold the shutter open. Also it is very fast triggering. One other minor con is the way it hangs from the wire. I am not really fond of things hanging by the cord but a little velcro to the tripod could solve this. These little cons are the reason I gave it only 4 start, it could easily be a 5!!

Great little product!!

works awesome. does great when using to photograph children. i can't believe the distance this thing can work from. its absolutely awesome!

This product works just as it says it does in the product description. The wireless shutter release allows me now to be in the pictures without having to worry about the distance to the tripod.

The system would not work for me. I followed the instructions as best I could, tested the batteries, and tried as many other possibilities as I could think of. I returned the system to 47th st Photo, and they quickly sent me another system, but it would not work either. The problem seemed to be in the receiver. When I first turned on the receiver, the light came on, but the receiver would not respond. I turned the receiver off and back on again, and that time the light came on and then faded out. After that, the light would not come on again.

The instructions were poorly written, I was never sure if I was doing it right. But the receiver only has one button, so what else could it do but turn it on or off?

I returned the second system for a refund, wich was quickly and completely accomplished. But I still lost money on the deal because I had to pay for return shipping twice.

Works as promised. An excellent device. The only problem that I have with is, there is no on or off switch on the the remote. If you pack this item in your luggage and the shutter release button is continually pressed down, the battery may go dead.

I love this product.t does exactly what it says. Great price and quick delivery. Been enjoying it since I got it.
I will recommend it for any compatible camera if you dont want to go through the trouble of being out of the picture, or getting someone to take your pose.
