Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The remote I got finally after 3 tries in getting the original worked better and I don't have to point the device right at the sensor. To get it to work is simple, go to your camera menu and remote options to select one. If you hold the button it will look to focus and then snaps. There are different modes in Nikon to give you delayed shot, or shot as soon as clicked, mirror lockup for long exposure modes in camera menu options. The best part is the IR doesn't have to be in line, it use bounce off technology that works with remote pointed in most of the directions. I want to shoot mostly self portrait and landscapes as this would do the required work without any issues. Make sure you have the right focus mode when doing portraits or group shots that is crucial in nailing the focus. I have added some images comparing the original produce to the right and the cheap knock offs to the left. So do yourself a favor and get the original from Nikon Authorized dealers. Amazon is one them too not fulfillment by Amazon. As you can see from the images first and second remote are the cheap knock offs. Here are the differences: 1) Remote 1 and 2 looks like cheap plastic and non refined edges. Nothing falls into place 2) Remote 1,2 are have greenish logo infront and button. Real ones have grayish white 3) Looks at the holes near buttons on fake ones 4) See the Battery brand on 1,2 cheap Chinese battery. Real ones have Maxell battery 5) Notice the battery enabler plastic size and differnce 6) Original pouch is better quality and see the velcro difference 7) Original comes with a document 8) Fake ones box Nikon logo is in yellow color compared to orange 9) Fake ones box is matte finish and original Nikon has glossy finish to the box 10) See the Nikon logo on the device, compare letter O Almost all of the 1 star reviewers in Amazon got the fake ones based on what they wrote. If you have got the right product it works like a charm and doesn't feel like flimsy plastic at all.
