Yes it works, It's cool. In Bulb mode, yes you have to keep it press to keep the shutter open. But, You can put manual mode and then chage shutter speet to 'Time' (after 30seconds) and then use this as wire relese. 1st Clic "Open", 2nd Click "Close". It's superb

I tried two models different sets on my D5100 camera and they DO NOT WORK. They do not seat in until the lens lock clicks into place so the camera does not work with them on it. I tried it on a different model Nikon and it worked fine. I am greatly disappointed! I was really looking forward to using it. I wanted to try a different brand, but need to be able to try it on the camera.

I use mine with a D70, D200, D300, and D2h. Check with your camera and see what shutter release connection it uses. Then, see what other cameras uses that same connection. It could be that the D3100 uses the same electronic shutter as the D300. These remotes are EXCELLENT and the price cannot be beat. I recommend these remotes.

I bought two also and the both work fine. The second one is with a friend so I haven't tested whether or not they operate on the same frequency. If that is the case, one photographer may trigger the camera of the other, etc. Make sure you have your camera set to deal with a remote triggering device and it should work fine. At least mine did with a Nikon D800.

I have tested the camera trigger and it worked but I don't use it regularly. I have a D5100 and sometimes my camera won't talk to the battery grip. The camera will be functioning fine, then I will get a warning on the screen that I have the wrong battery type in the camera. I wouldn't keep it as the only battery. You can keep the battery compartment door flap in a little pocket that's on the battery grip. That way if it stops working you can take a battery out of the grip and put it directly into the camera. It's annoying but when it works it's nice to have.

Yes, it works in bulb mode. You can either hold down the button for as long as you want or push the button then slide it forward to lock it in place then leave until you unlock it. :D!! Also, the cord is a very good length and the construction is quality. Great for astrophotography. It's worth the money in my opinion.

Yes, I do so all the time. In fact, I have not had much luck figuring out using this flash on camera and getting the control over exposure I need. However, I pound on it all night long off camera using Nikon's AWL to control it in TTL mode and sometimes manual mode. It's well worth the money unless it's your first and only flash then I suggest getting a Nikon flash or something else like a Phottix maybe although I have not tested one of those they seem well respected by the brand worshippers who prefer the camera brand :) I have not tested the flash responding to a Canon camera but when am around a Canon user I will give it a try. I leave it in cn mode (Canon and Nikon) and it works just fine as a remote flash.

Hello Greg,I tried using it with Nikon D7000 for video mode but it didnt work. When you trigger the button, it takes a still image instead of starting a video shoot. Nikon D7000 has a separate button (and not the regular shutter release button) for video shooting.If your camera shoots video by the same shutter release button then it may work for you.Hope this helps

Did you set your camera to the appropriate setting in order to use the remote. I have a nikon V1 and you have to set the remote to be used in the menu section. Under self timer option. Hope this helps.

Return it and buy Nikon's remote. I had the same exact problem with this thing. Only the Nikon brand remote works with the D3200

Norman Camera's response is correct. This remote, in conjunction with WR-R10 and (if necessary) WR-A10 works exactly like the shutter release button on the camera. I have used it on Nikon D800 for exposures up to 180+ seconds and it has worked nicely. You just need to keep the release button on the remote depressed. The only downside, if you will, is that you are using battery juice all along while the button is depressed. And that is why I also carry a Mudder Intervalometer such as this ( http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61jF0wTLZHL._SL1000_.jpg ) in my bag.

No, It is only a remote shutter button, if you half press it, it will auto focus, but only if you are in AF mode. Otherwise, it will just actuate the shutter. It can be used as a bulb trigger as well

I have the D3300 and on the "self timer", there is a "delay Remote ML-L3" icon to choose from. I assume yours has the same choices. Choose this and the remote will start the count down to shutter release. In my User manual, there is a section titled: "Remote Control Photography". I hope all this helps you.

I used this device on a recent trip to Mexico. It has several automatic and manual functions. once you connect it to the camera, you can use it as a simple remote or timer. you can also use it with the camera in Bulb mode to take long exposures. I took several 4 minute exposures in Mexico at night and the results were great.

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.
