Works as Stated

"I've been using the GP-1 for probably six weeks now. The biggest thing I was worried about when I purchased the unit was the time it would take to associate with the satellites. I would say on average it takes 30 seconds or so - it obviously takes longer if I'm in woodlands or in buildings (yet close to windows). Once in a while it takes a couple minutes. The only complaint I have is Nikon's pricing of the unit..." Read Full Review »

Very disappointing

"I placed an order for a GP-1 before the first units arrived in the US. This review therefore applies to an early production model. I installed the GP-1 on a Nikon D90 and I’m extremely disappointed with the results. 1. The GP-1 has a really tough time figuring out its position.

"This product has not worked for me with the transparency others have experienced. On a magazine shoot in the middle of the Oklahama prairie last week (shooting D700) it took two or three minutes to get a fix. Even then the tag didn't stick to the image. This is probably operator error, but the abysm …"  Read Full Review »
