Does this allow for releasing the shutter for video? Will be using for my Nikon D5300.

It only will trigger the shutter button. If the D5300 has a separate video record button it will not work... Except in the case that the shutter button can be assigned on the D5300 to be the video record button. I know it works and is assignable on the D600 however I do not know about other nikon models. I did not have good luck with this timer myself but instead bought the Neewer 2.4gHz remote timer and it has been much more reliable and less expensive.

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

Be certain the camera selection for shutter release chosen for is for remote. If you can press your shutter release button and the camera takes a picture, you haven't got the right release chosen. Go to menu then you'll need to chose remote release. Mine works on a Nikon D5100, no issues.

The shutter release cord hooks into the gps port on the camera. I'd you have a gps port, it would probably work

I cannot give a definite yes, but I do believe it will work as the shutter button operates the same way in Nikon cameras.

The remote shutter release will accomplish the same as if you were using the Cameras shutter release button. Im very happy with this product,way better than the wireless.

This remote shutter release cord works really well with my Nikon D600, especially conducting a very long exposure shooting..Handy and very affordable helpful accessory which I ordered from Amazon..

This remote does have a switch that you can move to a locked position which will keep your camera shutter open until you unlock the switch. That time could be as long as you want the shutter to remain open, however it does not have the capability to do what you are asking. Some DSLRs do have an automatic interval timer feature built in, like the Nikon D7100. Check your camera manual.

Unless you select "release shutter without lens" it will not work, as there is no electrical connection to the camera. Peaking will work

I am a little puzzled by the question. I have a 40d as well as a 5d and both receive the remote shutter cable as a plug in on the lower left 3 pin plug (as you face the end of the camera that has the plugins behind the rubber cover). I suspect that the shutter release as supplied can work on most brands of cameras that accept a remote shutter release. When you look at the camera receptacle you see three prongs that match up with the three holes in the rounded end of the cable. You may have to rotate the round end a little but it will fit.

It **does** support a cable release. I bought a cable release for my GX7 right here at Amazon, for ten bucks. It's this one - Foto&Tech Wired Remote Shutter Release Control DMW-RS1 Replacement for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150, DMC-FZ200, DMC-G10, DMC-G2, DMC-G3, DMC-G5, DMC-G6, DMC-GF1, DMC-GF6, DMC-GH3, DMC-GH4, DMC-GX7 It works fine with my GX7. I used it and a tripod yesterday to take Christmas tree pictures, for which, incidentally, the "i.dynamic" feature, set at high, works marvellously well.

yes. presss the release once to open the shutter, and then again to close it. This is after the shutter speed on your camera is set to "bulb", of course.

I have never attached mine to the camera (I have several and I use it on all platforms). If you are going to use it in a video mode, you would attach it and then I'm not sure. However, my Nikon 5200 has a variable angle LCD and I just press it against the screen in whatever position it is in. I just have to be a little more careful when it is away from the body.

Yes!! That's what it's designed for! Works very well too! Also, unlike other ones, it doesn't connect in the tripod screw hole which I believe is a weak point. This one connects where the neck strap connects which is designed to support the weight of the camera. Just my opinion!!

I used it on a tripod to record party videos, it's very secure and stable. The only problem is when using the direct electrical outlet/plug, the battery cover must be open.

It can trigger the start/stop video for a handycam but I'm not sure on DSLR. But the DSLRs video are also trigger on the shutter release button so it should.

Yes, it functions just like the shutter release button on the camera. I have the D3100.
