The Nikon ML-3 (10 Pins System) Modulite Remote Control Set enables remote control for two separate channels via an infrared LED beam providing automatic camera operation from a distance of up to about 26-feet (8 m). Auto triggering delayed shutter release single and continuous shooting are possible. It can also fire the camera remotely when a subject moves between the transmitter and receiver for surveillance or wildlife photography.The ML-3 is designed so the transmission button operates the same way as the shutter release button of the camera. Lightly pressing on the transmission button turns on the camera's exposure meter and starts autofocus detection.To connect the ML-3 the receiver is inserted and locked into a camera's or Speedlight bracket's accessory or hot shoe and is then connected to the remote terminal on the camera with its remote cord. The camera is fired when the transmitter is pointed in the direction of the receiver's sensor and the transmit button is pushed. Recommended camera settings are: C or M focus modes Programmed Auto (P/Ps) Aperture-Priortity Auto or Shutter-Priority Auto L or H film advance modes.

Neat gadget with helpful capabilities.

"This accessory is great for family or self pics and covert capture of wildlife. I have gotten 50-60 foot range with it, well over the spec of 30 feet. On the minus side, the remote's battery door tends to slip off. Also, remember to turn off the remote when finished or it will be dead the next time you need it...." Read Full Review »

"I found some difficulty with the product as far as mounting it was concerned. The reciever part of the remote is supposed to be mounted on the hot shoe mount of the camera and does so just fine. But I found myself scratching my head wondering where I would mount the reciever when I wanted to use the popup flash or a hot shoe mounted flash. I did however manage to rig up the reciever to work in conjunction with t..." Read Full Review »

"This remote is perfect--it does exactly what is advertised to do, albeit with slightly better range in the field.



A trick.... When I'm using my flash, I put some double stick tape on the side and glue the receiver to the flash. That holds it on. "
