Having found that when I have tried to take long exposure night shots, and investing in a tripod, it was suggested to me that I should try a remote control to open the shutter. Having Googled what model and type of remote I needed for my Nikon D3000, I found that this was recommended,and thought "Why not!", and ordered it. When it arrived I looked at the size of the bx and thought "It's big!", but the actual unit itself is very small, 2.5 inches in length, just under 1.25 inches in width, and 5mm deep. A battery is provided, which is active once you remove the tab that prevents a circuit being made. The only function is the shutter button, and once you figure out where the sensor at the end of the remote is aimed at (Near the inbuilt flash unit), you just press the button, and let the camera do it's own thing. There are two downsides I can think of- one being it's size, and, although it seems durable, it could be a tad fragile. There is a pouch provided, but I think an inbuilt loop so you could attach it to a key-chain or lanyard might have been a good idea. Having said that, those are the only faults I can think of, and the remote is very good value for moneyRead full review

Great stuff. Very easy to use with my D3300 camera. Perfect for nightshooting or tripod family pics. I'd recommend it even if you won't use it often. It is ''must have'' item.

Well it did once i found the switch on the camera, which shows another menu that does appear on the mebu button. Might have been the reason for my old one not to work

Very simple to use straight out of the box - just put the camera in remote mode. Range is reasonable, but can only be used from the front of my camera, where the IR sensor is. Really helps to avoid tremor when shooting longer exposure. Amazing value for something that adds a lot of functionality.
