What our customer's say!

"Nikon Cable Release - Watch out for autofocus", I am very satisfied with the release - BUT I had to discover that switching to manual focus will give instant reaction to pressing the release button. When I used autofocus it took forever for the process to initiate. I take 3 images at different exposure and use blend them using HDR so being able to take pictures quickly is a must. I walk carrying the tripod with camera attached. I wrap the cable around my neck strap (attached to camera)and that helps keep it from dangling. I find it difficult to screw on the locking collar but I'm willing to live with that and am looking for some kind of lightweight plastic "wrench" to help. Haven't had it long or used it much so I can't testify to longevity. I would buy it again.

"Its Great!", Sorry miguel but Nikon makes great stuff and their accessories are state of the art. Stop wingeing.

"Quality Remote Cable Release", I had purchased this for my father in law and he seems to be very pleased with it. He has taken thousands of photos already using it because of his shaky hands, this makes a perfect accessory.

"Save Your Money", This is, quite simply, an unvarnished Nikon rip-off. I bought an identical version of this release cable on eBay for eight bucks, shipping included! See link below. Nikon seems to think that once you have bought one of their cameras, you are forever locked in to buying their expensive accessories exclusively. A previous reviewer was quite right. It's just an expensive hunk of Nikon plastic.

"Does what it's intended to do", A remote cable is an important camera accessory. When taking low-light time-exposure photos using a tripod, it's important to use mirror lockup and a remote shutter release cable. Why? Because even though you have mounted the camera on a tripod, when the shutter is open for a long time, even a tiny amount of shaking will cause blurring.

Another use for the Nikon MC-30 cable is to lock the shutter open while cleaning the digital sensor.

Finally, many portrait photographers use a remote cable shutter release so they can get closer to the subject, especially when taking photos of infants or small pets.

The Nikon MC-30 cable release is built by Nikon to the same quality standards as their cameras. Before the MC-30, I used an "ADIDT" cable release, purchased from an internet auction site. The ADIDT release failed during an important assignment, making it appear that the camera itself was malfunctioning. After a few minutes of panic, I removed the ADIDT cable release and the problem immediately went away.

The Nikon MC30 is an important accessory that is always in my camera bag.

"A must for night photos!", I have been debating this purchase and am so pleased with the product. It works wonderfully and has made night photos a breeze. Well worth the price, you get what you pay for.

"Great", it is a Nikon product - it does what it should and is very well made.

"Nikon MC30 - Very Nice, But I Could Use More Features", Bought Nikon MC30 to reduce camera shake on tripod. Works great. Really like the auto focus feature that comes with it. Think I will check out what else Nikon has by way of remote controls to increase user productivity and functionality.

"Jule's MC30 Remote ", Works perfectly. it was a new product. Ordered it several days before July 4th and got it in time to use for fireworks photos.

All around, I'm pleased.NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in)

"Enough for Me", I bought the MC-30 in Japan. It cost me about $20 and was worth it to me. I had recently purchased the D-200 and I've always had problems trying to do long exposure photos with the D-70 so, I bought the MC-30 hoping to have some fun with it.
Out of the box it does three things. First, it works just like the button on the camera; half way down to focus and all the way down to shoot. Second, holding the trigger down will (with continuous on the shooting mode) make the camera keep taking photos again just like the button on the camera. Third, the trigger has a lock on it to keep the button depressed for however long you feel.
There are two things that this remote doesn't do. First, it can't change your camera settings without going back to the camera and changing them there. ( I consider this moot. After I take a long exposure I always look at it on the back of the camera anyways.) Second, it is still wired to the camera. While this will keep you from searching for batteries so you can use it, the cord can still be bumped or pulled and that with ruin your shot.
Overall, I like it very much and it does exactly what I wanted it to do.
