Nikon MC-30 Remote Trigger Release

Comments about Nikon MC-30 Remote Trigger Release:

This works as advertised, nothing fancy, but just works.
The only thing that this remote needed is a timer.
I used a stopwatch in my iPhone when using it in bulb mode.

Works as advertised, but really expensive for what it is. Even though it does not feel rock solid, it feels better than the generic equivalents (tried a couple, though I think a lot are just rebranded from a couple of factories) and the connection to the body is smoother/ slightly better fit than the generics. My last Nikon remote lasted probably 18 years, so if this makes it as long it'll go a long way justifying the cost.

Works well. Keeps the camera steady while on tripod for various types of images. Especially when trying to get an image of a baby.

A must for sharp pictures, especially when doing slow exposures or macro photogarphy. A good tripod, mirror up and this remote release cable will make your photos much sharper!

I use the remote trigger with lenses fromm 200mm to 500mm as well as 500mm copled with 2x convertor.
The remote trigger makes the difference between a sharp image or a soft blurred image.

The Remote works like it should.

My new Nikon D3x comes with a complete assortment of technical abilities. Some of those -- such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) -- are enhanced if the camera function can be rendered shake-proof. This technique requires three -- or more -- bracketed photographs which are submitted to the D3x "Merge to HDR" function which renders exposures to the scene's shadows, mid-tones and highlights into a beautifully balanced image.

It works best if each of the exposures is made with no movement of the camera of the kind that can be caused by pressing the exposure button by hand, The cabled remote trigger does this for us for this and other techniques.

The Nikon MC-30 Remote Trigger works as advertised; working fine on a Nikon D-300s. Would have given it 5 stars if it had come with a small protector cap to prevent damage to the connector pins when stored off-camera.

Has a high quality feel (not cheap and plasticky). Securely couples to my D700. Smooth operation.

I am an amatuer photographer that enjoys nature. I do some macro shooting and this remote figures well into my system. Shopping at your site for me is like a kid in a candy store. Thank you for you helpful and prompt service.

Needed to take long exposures of star trails.

really needed this remote trigger for night photography and close ups.

I have only had this shutter release cable a few days, so I can't yet speak for its durability, however, it's well made, easy to attach and easy to use, as you would expect. I have tried a cheap off brand version, which I regret. The cheap version malfunctioned after a couple of days. While there are many non-Nikon items that are fine products, don't skimp on this one. It's not worth the 20 bucks you'll save. Just make sure you match the proper trigger to your Nikon model.

Very straight forward remote for any Nikon with the 10 pin remote outlet. There isnt alot of room to thread the cord plug into the camera body, but once you get it started its fine. I like how simple the remote is and the fact that it doesnt need its own battery power.

After 2 years, the first MC-30 I purchased had started to fray at the connection. Wish it was a little stronger to stand up to regular use. Otherwise, it works just fine.

Comments about Nikon MC-30 Remote Trigger Release:

When I first had need of a remote trigger for the shutter several years ago, I bought the least expensive one on the market. It lasted about 6 months and then would not work. Next, I bought the in-between priced one, with the same results. Finally, the last time I bought the real McCoy, and so far (I've used it three times) it has worked perfectly. So, if you're thinkig about going cheap, I would not advise it. This one works the best of the three. In a year from now I can give you another report, over time.
