 Works fine Jan 26, 2010
By Mark E
At this price, I bought a spare figuring I'll probably loose it. It looked to do the same job as the Nikon ML-L3, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've had no problems. No set up required, just remove the battery tab, set your camera's release mode, and you're ready to go (at least for my model, the D5000). No problems with the autofocus either, and it works from a good distance as well as pointing it at an angle out of the camera's view for shots where I just don't want to move the camera. It doesn't come with a pouch like the ML-L3, but it costs less, and otherwise seems to work fine.

Love it! Dec 30, 2009
By B. Thorp

With your nikon there should be a timer setting that you can page through until a remote shows up (with or without a timer too) that enables this. I can use it in front, back and on the sides of the camera. We even played with bouncing it around another room to this cam and it worked great. Feels solid and very well engineered. Will be buying more for my family (my dad has a D80.)

A Work Horse Mar 05, 2010
By JDP
When my Nikon wireless remote died out I came across the Opteka RC2 via an Amazon product search. Ideally priced I was a little skeptical. Any second thoughts that I originally had about this product have gone away.
After a quick review of the instructions I removed the battery tab and set the release mode on my Nikon D90. Pairing up to both of my cameras was a breeze and on the money. Overall, shots were consistent within a solid shooting range between 5 and 15 feet.
The glossy black fingerprint magnet finish is the only small negative against this product. Not a big deal for me. For the last six months the RC2 has been a work horse without any powering up issues.
With a 3 volt CR2025 battery providing the juice, its all about usage. For my needs I replace batteries every six months and keep back ups handy. Mounting a small sticker noting the date of the last battery change is helpful too. Occasional users can get away with a one year replacement. For prolonged storage, I recommend removing the battery.
In the box, (1) CR2025 battery, instructions, and a one year manufacturer's warranty. Customer support can be reached via Opteka's very limited website. There are no customer support numbers posted. Only email links. Oddly this model is not even posted on the company's website.
Without a doubt, the Opteka RC2 Nikon Remote is a durable and cost effective tool. Its a welcome addition to my camera bag.

For people who do not know: tips of connecting to your camera Jun 17, 2010
By Dan InGold
"xz38"
First of all, this is a great wireless remote like everyone here says. It works very well from different directions. However, the instruction is not very clear to me on the paper coming with the remote.
For users who do not know about this, here is how I set it up for my nikon d40:
Please go to the menu of the camera and then go the shoot mode (single frame(default), continuous(burst), 2' delayed remote, quick-response remote) and then choose either the 2'delayed remote or the quick-response remote. Now you are ready to go. Just press the button on your remote, and it will work. Note that the infrared cannot be seen by human eyes so that you will see no visible light from the LED on.
