Is it a Nikon or a knock off?

Hi Denis, according to https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49662/~/beware-of-counterfeit-accessories-for-nikon-digital-cameras#ML-L3, the Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control that I have received appears to be an authentic Nikon accessory.

Denis it says Nikon just as you see the advertisement. How to prove it otherwise not sure but it works for me so not so concerned what it says.

After purchasing another battery (since the one initially received inside the remote did not work), I attempted to use it in the "Nikon ML-3" Remote. Unfortunately, it did not work. I will be purchasing an authentic remote from BestBuy; sad I wasted my money and my time on this product.

It is a Nikon as far as I can tell. Works great. I love it for taking group with me in (selfie) or while on a tripod without touching the camera. You can click your camera all night or at least as long as the flash lasts if it's required.

I highly recommend not purchasing this item. This item is listed as a NEEWER but is actually a cheap knock off brand called shoot. Spend more money and get a quality product. It fell apart 2 days after i started using. With that said, you can look in your camera's user manual to find out what type of port your camera has. Nikon has a few different types that look similar. Once you have that information you can more easily search for compatible products.

I have never looked thru that Nikon but have an older pair of Nikons. The Bushnells are better than those. Cost less too.

It's extremely difficult to tell if you've never held any genuine grip made by Nikon. I knew right away by the weight; counterfeits will be very light, because they are made with cheap plastic, not magnesium alloy. Also, if there's a gap between the grip and the body of the camera, that's a sign it might be a counterfeit. Lastly, and the easiest "give away" would be the front and back shutter/aperture dials on the grip should be made of a rubber and have a grip. If you can move the dial easily, you don't hear clicks, or they don't have a grip on your finger, it's most likely a counterfeit. Hope this helps!

if you want to save couple of bucks then buy a 3rd party battery but if you care about your camera, then just get the genuine nikon battery. Its better

As others have already answered, no this is not the Nikon version, but it is new, works well, and is, in my opinion, a bargain for the price.

If you zoom in on photo you can see that it says NIKON. my daughter requested this for Christmas and I sent it to her. She is an avid photographer and didn't complain of a misspelling.

welp. time to find a local dealer. Nikon being all mysterious with its dealers. Oh well, I'll try to be patient a little while longer.

I'm not sure about the seller's identity and association with Nikon. However, the battery I received was identical in brand, size, and model to the original battery that accompanied my Nikon D800.

I believe it is a camera that was purchase and returned to a store with limited damage. I returned a camera once after owning for a day and the store informed me that they send it right to Nikon

It appears to be and was in a Nikon bag but suppose it could be counterfeit. It fits well and works good and I am happy with it.

No...Nikon has a lot of work to do with this device. It's a piece of crap to be totally honest. I returned mine...

It was Nikon USA Legit. It came as described, slightly delayed but it was my first amazon purchase. I had not complaints.

There are alot of "gray market" cameras out there. Ask the seller to provide a serial number so you can see if it's a good camera. If they can't or if Nikon's website says they don't show it as "certified" then don't buy it. If you ever need the camera serviced, Nikon will refuse to do it if it's not certified for your country or obviously a knock-off.

And you said you ARE using genuine Nikon batteries? I read where some of the cheaper batteries do not have a chip that nikon cameras read as an authentic battery. A lot of the grips are having problems with "non-chipped" batteries..... Just a thought

The term can have various meaning. In this case I believe it refers to the fact that what you are purchasing is different from what is illustrated on the box. In short, you are not purchasing this directly from Nikon or it authorized distributors. It was likely originally purchased as part of a larger kit (i.e., what is illustrated in the picture) that has been broken up for sales in separate lots.Good luck.
