IR FTML-L3

This remote control is awesome. It connects right away, and will start taking pictures instantly. I do a lot of nature trails, and rugged usage with my camera, and yes I take this remote control with me. 3 years later it is still working. I recommend this to a lot of my friends that take pictures through their Nikon cameras. Remote control range? The furthest I've used it away from the camera has been about 20 feet, and it works great. I have not tested it further than that.

its working with my Nikon D750. Don't forget to turn on the remote regime on camera.

I was searching for a wireless shutter release remote for my Nikon D7100 and I came across FotoTech FTML-L3 remote. I was not sure if I wanted to but a wired remote or wireless remote but after going through several reviews, I realized what I needed. I generally go with OEM's for my purchases but with so many reviews and such low price, it was worth giving a try. The remote was delivered within time and when I opened the package, I was surprised to see the size of the remote. It was really tiny and super light weight and convenient. The package did not arrived with instructions but honestly, you do not not need any instruction to operate this remote. I have read many people complaining about the remote not working but I think unless they got got a lemon, it is the camera setting. After I turned on the setting on my camera, it worked flawlessly. I am happy with this purchase and I am hoping that the battery doesn't run out of juice soon. I haven't had chance to use it much but I am certain that I will it use it every time I mount my camera on the tripod. Likes - 1. Tiny size and fits any pocket 2. Good response time 3. Good range 4. Good build quality Dislikes - 1. A power sliding switch would have been a plus to protect battery 2. The cover that came with remote could have been of better quality 3. "For Nikon" font size could have been small. The current font size gives a cheap look I would certainly recommend this over the OEM if you want to save some money (I haven't used the OEM, but I am sure that this will solve the purpose at half the price of OEM).

Any time you have to take a picture of a group, the worst thing in the world is having someone press the shutter release and then run back to the group to barely make it in time. After going through this process yet again on a church retreat last week, I decided to order the FotoTech FTML-L3 remote and give it a try. Suffice it to say, I am pleasantly surprised with how well this remote works. I am not a professional photographer, only a hobbyist. And I am using this remote with a Nikon D5200 DSLR camera. Essentially, the FTML-L3 works exactly like it should. It is my understanding that the remote operates using infrared (IR) light, much like a standard television remote. So you should think about it in those terms. In general, the remote transmitter must be able to "see" the camera in order to work (though I was able to use it in a very short range with an obstruction). With a clear line-of-sight, I was able to get the remote to work at least 10 ft away from the camera. I would guess it is capable of much more than that, but 10 ft is enough for my general purposes. One quick tip: If you are using the D5200 (and I'm assuming other cameras are similar), you MUST change the shutter release mode on the camera to respond to the remote. If you don't, nothing will happen when you press the button on the remote. I have seen a couple of places where customers thought the remote didn't work, but they had simply failed to change the shutter release mode on their cameras. On the D5200, changing this mode is simple. The first (and simplest) method of doing this is to press the "Release Mode" button near the mode dial (it has what looks like three stacked rectangles on it). This will open a menu which will allow you to change the way the camera shutter is released, including two options for using the remote (immediate and delayed release). An alternate method is to go through the Settings Menu ("MENU" button) under the "Shooting Menu" (camera icon) and change the "Release mode" setting. This will present you the same options as the first method. All in all, this product is exactly what I needed. I'm looking forward to the next time I need to take a group photo and no one has to do the dreaded race back to formation.

I tried using this with a Nikon D70. Very unpredictable. Sometimes it'll work 2 or 3 shots in a row, sometimes nothing. Not sure whether the fault is with the remote device, camera or both, it's just not usable. Timed exposure photography is very important to me, so I just ordered a Nikon D7000 with cable release that is actually a cable, not infrared.

I like this shutter release for two reasons: It works on my Nikon D610 and my Nikon 1 J1… at the same time! I just did a maternity shoot with my wife and I had both cameras set up and facing different directions. Once I hit the button, my Nikon D610 triggered right along with my J1. Granted, I was in a small space but it worked that's all that mattered and the setting was a home studio. For the price I'd definitely buy more and recommend this product. Do note that it's not perfect by far but it does work when aimed nicely and in range (short range) but in range regardless. This is no professional trigger so you don't have bells and whistles. This is not branded shutter release goodness but it does the job and that's fine. Pros: - works on J1 (mirror less) & D610 (FX D-SLR) - Can trigger multiple cameras in range at same time - comes with carry cloth and is packable (it counts when you need to fit a bunch of small gadgets somewhere and isn't burdensome…) - inexpensive Cons: - short range - doesn't allow for focusing with press of the button just image capturing - doesn't trigger %100 (however, not even branded triggers do) You be the judge. This is a fairly priced shutter release and to start, it's fine. Seriously, unless you're trying to do on-location shooting where you want a good distance between you and the camera, pay more and get a branded shutter release/trigger. DO NOT try and take this to a wedding shoot or any high end shoot where you need serious reliability. Close quarter triggering, yes. Distance, no. Get it, it's cheap, you won't regret it, use it for walk arounds and macro photography.

I love it and it's compatible with my Nikon D-5100, and it's very useful in terms of taking photos on a tripod, or on a flat surface, so it's a "win-win" for me to have a wireless remote control in my possession, and to carry around in my camera bag whenever I want to use it at anytime.

I want to love it so much, but I just can't... I have a Nikon D5100, which it works well with. So I use this item, as I assume most other people do, to take pictures that have myself in them. The part where this remote falls short is that it cannot have an obstructed view to the camera. It seems weird, but you cant have this remote behind your leg, your back, or behind a tree. It just won't work if it has any obstruction between it and the camera. Which when you're taking a family portrait, you don't really want your hand to be in a weird position off to the side, obviously pushing a remote button... That being said, it works well otherwise. You can take multiple pictures, it's easy to switch to the "remote mode". I still use it, I just wish I could have it behind my sons back as I hit the button, this lead to a lot of ruined family photos this year...

Pour le prix je n'étais pas bien sûre de mon coup mais j'ai tenté et je n'en suis pas déçue. Elle marche parfaitement bien avec un réglage possible de retardateur histoire de pouvoir pointer la télécommande vers l'appareil photo pour qu'il la reconnaisse et en suite pouvoir la ranger pour qu'elle n'apparaisse pas sur la photo génial! Merci pour ce petit produit bien pratique et si peu cher!!

Buen producto cumple su funcion y se adapta muy bn a la Nikon D7500.

One of the main reasons I bought the Nikon brand ML-L3 remote was to get started with portraits. Having no friends threw a wrench in my plan. The wireless remote was fantastic -- it allowed me to take photos of myself without having to hazardously leap through the obstacle course that is my room and attempt to strike a pose before the timed camera went off (or, I lost track of time and snapped a photo of the puzzled expression on my face). Unfortunately, I lost my remote and, while only having one pair of eyes, my search was arduous and fruitless. I was back at square one; I was faced again with my original dilemma: make friends or dash in front of the camera and risk an out-of-focus shot. I came across the FotoTech ML-L3 Wireless Remote and I couldn't be more pleased; the product is almost identical to the original (only slightly thicker and less rounded) and functions just as well. Now, I can return to taking studio-quality, #notevenposing selfies that leave the smart phone-using hipsters envious and wanting.

product is good but very expensive when I bought it..

No habrá autofoto (selfie) que se nos resista ya. Se acabaron el correr y esperar 10 segundos a que se dispare la cámara. Con éste mando podemos prepararnos con calma, ponernos en posición y disparar cuando queramos. Inalámbrico y con un alcance de bastantes metros de distancia. Muy satisfechos con la compra. Y encima es un mando súper pequeñito. Recomendable 100%
