Amazon Basics Wireless Remote Control for Nikon D5500: Budget-Friendly Shutter Release Having recently purchased the Amazon Basics Wireless Remote Control for my Nikon D5500, I'm happy to share my experience. As someone who values practicality and affordability, this remote control has become a valuable addition to my photography kit. Pros: Affordability: Let's face it, the original Nikon remote can be quite expensive. This Amazon Basics option offers significant cost savings, making it a budget-conscious choice for hobbyists or occasional photographers. Compatibility: As advertised, the remote worked seamlessly with my Nikon D5500 and I haven't encountered any compatibility issues. Functionality: The remote offers basic shutter release functionality, perfect for capturing self-portraits, group photos, or wildlife shots where minimizing camera shake is crucial. Simplicity: The design is straightforward, with a single button for shutter release. This no-frills approach makes it easy to use and avoids confusion, especially for beginners. Overall: For Nikon D5500 users seeking a budget-friendly and functional wireless shutter release, the Amazon Basics remote is a solid option. It delivers the core functionality at a fraction of the cost, making it a great value for casual photographers or those starting their photography journey. If you require advanced features or a more premium build quality, you might want to consider other options.

This just works really well. I've had other third party and copies of the Nikon ML-L3 before. They worked but never seamlessly. Now, in the main, they worked OK at the beginning and then failed when I came back to them some time later. It's possible this Amazon one will go the same way (one wonders how much difference there is internally on these various remotes). If that happens, I'll update this review. No, really, unlike many, I do frequently update reviews. Even with that caveat, I like the feel of this thing better straight away. It's simple but well made with a good, easy to use button. I've tried from in front and behind the camera and from about 25 feet or so away. All good. It also takes multiple exposures by holding down the button.

I only really bought this to help me take cleaner long exposure shots without having to drag my computer around, and it certainly does the job. Works just fine with my 700D, but not from behind the camera which is a little disappointing. Given the £5.99 price though I really can't complain! Easy to set up and nice and small so easy to pop in my (already fairly full) camera bag.

Works perfectly with my Nikon D3200, I have also used it with a D3100 and D40. Some have said that you need to keep returning to the camera to switch the shooting mode back to remote after using it - this is NOT TRUE. If the camera is properly set to remote or delayed remote, it will stay in that mode allowing you to take multiple shots. This is true for all auto modes and fully manual - I think people are perhaps getting confused as it is true you need to keep switching back to timed mode if you are using that. This is unrelated. The camera will also reassess its focus if you are in AF mode when you use the remote, which is handy. Overall this is an absolute bargain and works beautifully.

Works with Nikon one camera

I am not sure about this one. the idea is great, but it only works when in front of the camera, short distance, and with interuptions, a lot of time does not actuate. Probably better go with something more professional.

Its very rare to find third party products that surpass the original brand specs and at a vastly lower price but amazon managed to do this with little to no effort. This remote has a more robust design and better finish than it nikon counterpart with a more reliable warranty period. That fact its signal can travel up to 5 meters is a huge benefit when moving around in a large studio or out doors. There is a slight delay from trigger to shot, but this is expected with wireless transmissions and can be fixed with enough practice. I must address that that depending on the model of dslr you're using, the means of pairing the remote will vary however this is usually something that is performed in the camera settings or options. I run a Nikon D5500, so i have to follow this method but since the instructions are simple to use it'll be easy for any new buyer to get up and running with their gear. With that said I still highly recommended purchasing this item for the level of freedom you get.

Complete rubbish, worked twice from new. Put new battery in and it is dead as a dodo. I have to goive it one star just to submit this review.

I have an old Nikon D5000. This remote does work with that (older) camera. Once I had the camera setup, I had no problem operating the camera using this remote from about 20-30 feet away. It's a little bit nonintuitive to figure out how to get the camera into a mode where it "sees" the remote so I'll tell you how to do it. Don't press the menu button (like you'd think). Instead, on the left side of the back of the camera the bottom button is the "i" (information) button. Press that and then on the screen navigate down to the "S" option and press OK (button in center of joystick ring on right side of camera). Now you get some shutter release options. There are two for the remote. One has a picture/symbol of the remote with "waves" coming out of it, and the other is a similar symbol with "2s" beside it. The first one will snap the photo immediately and the second one has a 2 second delay after you press the remote before the photo is actually taken. The second time I used it days later I had forgotten how I got there so once I figured it out again I took my white paint pen and drew the "i" symbol on the remote to remind me how to get to the remote control option on the camera. But all that is not the remote's fault -- it's just a quirky camera menuing procedure. The remote itself works great. The only problem I had with it is that it's small and slippery so a few times I found it on the ground. Apparently I had put it in my pocket and when I sat down, it slipped out of my pocket onto the ground, where I luckily found it. It comes with a little bag and I looped this onto my camera neck strap so I'd always have it. Unfortunately I can't do that with my small Manfrotto one-touch tripod (which are fantastic by the way) because it's too heavy. So be sure to put the remote back in the bag attached to your strap or you'll risk losing it. To use this remote and have your shot framed properly you'll have to set up the shot with your viewfinder or display screen in advance with a tripod, or sandbag, or some other way of positioning the camera. Otherwise I guess you could always post process the photo with your camera or Photoshop to straighten or crop it.

Easy to use, came with a battery, I love the little pouch it comes in. Works with my Nikon D40. I’m glad that it came with instructions because I didn’t know what shooting mode to have my camera on. (Shooting Mode setting, and then Delayed remote setting for anyone else who tries things out before reading the instructions.) Would definitely recommend

Mando a distancia infrarrojo, muy similar al original Nikon (ML-L3), solo que mucho más barato. Me ha sorprendido su estupendo acabado, es muy pequeño y cómodo para llevar encima, y además con una práctica bolsita para guardarlo. Un detalle muy bueno es que trae la pila incluida, con lo cual, puedes empezar a usarlo desde el minuto uno. Funciona perfectamente en mis dos cámaras Nikon, la D50 y la D7000, e incluso a una distancia mayor de la límite que dice el producto. Es perfecto para auto-fotos y genial para las fotos de grupo, al ser tan chiquitín que ni se ve en la mano. Recordad que en las cámaras donde el sensor (como en la Nikon D50) está en la parte frontal, no sirve para utilizarlo como disparador remoto general, pues desde detrás de la cámara no funciona (ni éste, ni el ML-L3 de Nikon, vaya) Me ha llegado muy rápido y embalado de forma perfecta para ser enviado completamente protegido.

Per avere più libertà di movimento, eliminare completamente possibili vibrazioni e movimenti dovuti alla pressione del pulsante di scatto e soprattutto poter decidere esattamente il tempo di scatto per pose oltre i 30 secondi, ho deciso di prendere questo telecomando da utilizzare su una Nikon D7200. L’uso che ne farò sarà abbastanza sporadico, per cui non aveva senso per me investire su un prodotto più costoso o originale. L’ho comprato da poco tempo e l’ho usato già sia per fare delle prove, sia per impostare scatti lunghi in modalità oltre il Bulb (quindi una pressione inizia lo scatto, un’altra pressione lo termina). 👉 Ti riporto qui sotto le mie considerazioni su questo prodotto e spero ti siano utili per l’acquisto! VANTAGGI: ✔️ Funziona perfettamente e viene riconosciuto senza problemi dalla D7200. ✔️ Non ho misurato esattamente fino a che distanza riesca a funzionare, ma non ho avuto difficoltà fino a 4 metri dalla fotocamera. ✔️ Semplice, compatto, con un solo tasto e con batteria già installata, si usa con la massima semplicità e non si nota neanche se lo teniamo in mano. ✔️ A corredo c’è anche una piccola custodia in vellutino con chiusura a coulisse, che aiuta a proteggerlo e a trasportarlo senza che si rovini. ✔️ Resta compatibile con moltissimi modelli di fotocamere Nikon, anche con quella che ho citato e che non era riportata nell’elenco. SVANTAGGI: ❌ Nessuno finora riguardo al funzionamento. Avrei preferito però che ci fosse stata un’asola per attaccarci un cordino e non rischiare di perderlo. CARATTERISTICHE: 👉 Tutto esattamente come descritto nell’inserzione. 👉 Nessun problema di compatibilità o riconoscimento con una D7200. 👉 La pila è compresa e già inserita nell’alloggio. 📌 Rapporto qualità/prezzo buono per il tipo di prodotto e la fascia in cui si colloca. IN SINTESI: 👍🏻 Ottima prodotto di fascia base, consigliata se si vuole risparmiare un po’ sull’acquisto rispetto all’originale. ☘️ Ovviamente è un piacere se questa recensione ti ha aiutato nella scelta.

Lo compre hace ya un año y la verdad me ha ayudado mucho, en ocasiones hago fotografías de producto sola, por lo tanto el tener el disparador remoto es muy útil. Simplemente lo emparejó con mi cámara Nikon d7500 y responde rápidamente. Es necesario mantener una distancia relativamente cercana y fijar el sensor hacia la cámara, nada complicado, a demás el precio es excelente. Llegó a tiempo y viene con su bolsita para guardarlo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente
