Nikon Wireless Remote – New Kit for Urbex

As some will know, the normal ML-L3 is not compatible with Nikon’s like the D200, D300, D700, D3, D2X and D2H etc. The genuine Nikon MC-30 remote costs approx £55, the Nikon wireless kit costs loads, not so cool – so I was after a wireless remote that did not cost silly money but allowed me to take remote shots.

I found a Chinese seller selling Phottix Cleon sets, they are both corded and wireless 10 pin remotes for the Nikon’s specified above – it cost me £23 delivered, awesome or what?

The item arrived within 5 days and I plugged it in a took a few shots – it works totally fine! I’m going to use this on the next urbex shoot – the wireless control works through walls etc so handy when you are shooting alone.

The wireless controller on the left is, erm, the wireless controller whilst the bit on the right is the manual remote which is wired to the 10 pin socket on the Nikon

The remote can be attached to the hotshoe of your Nikon, this is a nice touch instead of having it dangle all over your tripod

Was good when I tested bracketing, hold down the button and the Nikon brackets away, stopping when the exposure bracketing is complete.

 

Heres the tech stuff:

 

Features
  • Radio control with working distance up to 100m (320ft)
  • 16 Channels available
  • Hot shoe mount – so it stays in one place
  • Single shooting / 2 second delay / Continuous shooting / Bulb mode
  • Receiver works as a wired remote ( even without the battery)

Usage

Multi-function, hi-tech and compact device, good for using in many circumstances:

  • Use for less distracting background, more flexible image creation.
  • Use in B mode for night shooting or fireworks.
  • Use for macro shooting – eliminates camera shake.
  • Use in studio shooting.
  • Use for including yourself in family or group photos.
  • Use for self portrait or including your children and pets.
  • Use for children photography: Candids of the kids playing, grab a shot when they think nobody’s watching.
  • Use for astronomical shooting.
  • Use for taking photos in dangerous locations.
  • Use for wild life photography and hide yourselves somewhere else.
  • Use one remote to fire multiple cameras simultaneously by using multiple receivers on the same channel: useful for panorama photography, recording an historical moment, sports photography.

Well happy with this kit, cheap, wireless, good quality and even comes with battery – fully recommned it :)
