Nikon - Remote Shutter Release - Recommendations?

MDalby · December 15, 2012

I have just started playing with some low angle shots for basketball. I took a handful of test shots to see if I like the view etc and I think I am going to make it a regular part of my routine now.

I guess I need to get a remote shutter release. I was thinking of a wireless rather than a cable. I did a Google and there are a ton of options out there. Just curious if any of you have a recommendation.

I purchased a youngno (sp?) off of ebay and it works very well.

It has a wireless reciever parks on the hotshoe of your camera and the remote can be used well over 100 feet away. I do not know just how far the range is but it will easily cover goal to goal on a basket ball court. That is what my eyeball mk 2 measurement devices believe anyway.

I will find it on ebay and post the link.

My Cactus V5 flash triggers will also work as a wireless shutter release with a separate cord that plugs the receiver into the camera.

Edit: This is the one I bought for my D800.

Cactus V5 works for me.

Thank you for the help. There were a lot of choices. I decided on the Vello brand at B&H. More expensive than some and not as expensive as others.

I bought a Vello Freewave from B&H a couple of months ago. I have used it under alot of different conditions - concerts, long distance outdoors, etc. It works great.

Now just mount the camera to a remote controlled car, and run it back and fourth!
