Foto&Tech FTML-L3 Wireless Remote Control Compatible with Nikon D7500 D750 D3400 D3300 D3200 D5500 D5300 D5200 D5100 D7200 D7100 D7000 D610 D600 D60 D70 D80 COOLPIX P900 P7800 P7700 A/1 J1 (1 Piece)

Any time you have to take a picture of a group, the worst thing in the world is having someone press the shutter release and then run back to the group to barely make it in time. After going through this process yet again on a church retreat last week, I decided to order the FotoTech FTML-L3 remote and give it a try. Suffice it to say, I am pleasantly surprised with how well this remote works.I am not a professional photographer, only a hobbyist. And I am using this remote with a Nikon D5200 DSLR camera. Essentially, the FTML-L3 works exactly like it should. It is my understanding that the remote operates using infrared (IR) light, much like a standard television remote. So you should think about it in those terms. In general, the remote transmitter must be able to "see" the camera in order to work (though I was able to use it in a very short range with an obstruction). With a clear line-of-sight, I was able to get the remote to work at least 10 ft away from the camera. I would guess it is capable of much more than that, but 10 ft is enough for my general purposes.One quick tip: If you are using the D5200 (and I'm assuming other cameras are similar), you MUST change the shutter release mode on the camera to respond to the remote. If you don't, nothing will happen when you press the button on the remote. I have seen a couple of places where customers thought the remote didn't work, but they had simply failed to change the shutter release mode on their cameras. On the D5200, changing this mode is simple. The first (and simplest) method of doing this is to press the "Release Mode" button near the mode dial (it has what looks like three stacked rectangles on it). This will open a menu which will allow you to change the way the camera shutter is released, including two options for using the remote (immediate and delayed release). An alternate method is to go through the Settings Menu ("MENU" button) under the "Shooting Menu" (camera icon) and change the "Release mode" setting. This will present you the same options as the first method.All in all, this product is exactly what I needed. I'm looking forward to the next time I need to take a group photo and no one has to do the dreaded race back to formation.

Works flawlessly in my Nikon D700. Much better price than genuine Nikon.

I was searching for a wireless shutter release remote for my Nikon D7100 and I came across FotoTech FTML-L3 remote.I was not sure if I wanted to but a wired remote or wireless remote but after going through several reviews, I realized what I needed. I generally go with OEM's for my purchases but with so many reviews and such low price, it was worth giving a try.The remote was delivered within time and when I opened the package, I was surprised to see the size of the remote. It was really tiny and super light weight and convenient. The package did not arrived with instructions but honestly, you do not not need any instruction to operate this remote. I have read many people complaining about the remote not working but I think unless they got got a lemon, it is the camera setting.After I turned on the setting on my camera, it worked flawlessly. I am happy with this purchase and I am hoping that the battery doesn't run out of juice soon. I haven't had chance to use it much but I am certain that I will it use it every time I mount my camera on the tripod.Likes -1. Tiny size and fits any pocket2. Good response time3. Good range4. Good build qualityDislikes -1. A power sliding switch would have been a plus to protect battery2. The cover that came with remote could have been of better quality3. "For Nikon" font size could have been small. The current font size gives a cheap lookI would certainly recommend this over the OEM if you want to save some money (I haven't used the OEM, but I am sure that this will solve the purpose at half the price of OEM).

I like this shutter release for two reasons: It works on my Nikon D610 and my Nikon 1 J1… at the same time! I just did a maternity shoot with my wife and I had both cameras set up and facing different directions. Once I hit the button, my Nikon D610 triggered right along with my J1. Granted, I was in a small space but it worked that's all that mattered and the setting was a home studio. For the price I'd definitely buy more and recommend this product.Do note that it's not perfect by far but it does work when aimed nicely and in range (short range) but in range regardless. This is no professional trigger so you don't have bells and whistles. This is not branded shutter release goodness but it does the job and that's fine.Pros:- works on J1 (mirror less) & D610 (FX D-SLR)- Can trigger multiple cameras in range at same time- comes with carry cloth and is packable (it counts when you need to fit a bunch of small gadgets somewhere and isn't burdensome…)- inexpensiveCons:- short range- doesn't allow for focusing with press of the button just image capturing- doesn't trigger %100 (however, not even branded triggers do)You be the judge. This is a fairly priced shutter release and to start, it's fine. Seriously, unless you're trying to do on-location shooting where you want a good distance between you and the camera, pay more and get a branded shutter release/trigger. DO NOT try and take this to a wedding shoot or any high end shoot where you need serious reliability. Close quarter triggering, yes. Distance, no. Get it, it's cheap, you won't regret it, use it for walk arounds and macro photography.

Doesn’t work more than few feet away, disappointed it did not work at all how we planned.

Works great with my Nikon cameras. Was simple to connect and works great. No delays. I shoot lots of product photography and this eliminates the need for me to set a timer to prevent camera shake/blur.

My original Nikon ML-L3 remote shutter release finally stopped working and this replacement remote works well on my Nikon P900 and D7000 cameras.
