I was supposed to be the photographer at a friend’s party, and I was going to use this for everyone to take their own photos. Well, now I’ll have to make do with the timer. I’m returning it because of the false claim that it works on my D3000 and I suggest everyone do the same, even if it is only $10. This is directly from the instruction book: RC-2 Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40X, D70S, D70, D50, 8400, 8800, F75, F65, F55, N65, N75, Nuvis S, Lite Touch. There are more for Canon and other brands, but this remote does not work for my D3000 like the title suggests.
The one thing any small piece of technology like this needs is a small loop so that the owner can put a string through it so they don’t lose it. It disappointed me on all fronts.

Although it came with fast shipping, gets a 5 star for portability, and is exactly what I “thought” I wanted, I am very dissappointed in this! It clearly states in the posting that it is for a Nikon D60, when I actually received it at home though it clearly states in the information guidebook that this is NOT for the D60!! Doesn’t work for my camera!! I only paid $10 for it, so not worth the hassle of returning it for a refund, but still upsets me that I paid the company for something that they misrepresented to me! Most likely a great remote if you’re lucky enough to actually have it work with your camera.

I looked for the cheapest remote I could find and this was it. It does the job well. I’m pleased with it.

Shipped quickly, and works right out of the box. The set up consisted of hitting a couple of button on the my camera to chang the shooting mode and VOILA! Portability! The range was quite nice too. I could take a picture from a different room of my apartment, given I probably have only dry wall walls, it’s not an amazing feat but a feat none the less!
The control fits easy in my hand, has a mirrored, polished surface and small instruction booklet.
I would recommend it.

When my Nikon wireless remote died out I came across the Opteka RC2 via an Amazon product search. Ideally priced I was a little skeptical. Any second thoughts that I originally had about this product have gone away.
After a quick review of the instructions I removed the battery tab and set the release mode on my Nikon D90. Pairing up to both of my cameras was a breeze and on the money. Overall, shots were consistent within a solid shooting range between 5 and 15 feet.
The glossy black fingerprint magnet finish is the only small negative against this product. Not a big deal for me. For the last six months the RC2 has been a work horse without any powering up issues.
With a 3 volt CR2025 battery providing the juice, its all about usage. For my needs I replace batteries every six months and keep back ups handy. A small sticker noting the date of the last battery change has always come in handy for me on all my gear. Occasional users can get away with a one year replacement. For prolonged storage, I recommend removing the battery.
In the box, (1) CR2025 battery, instructions, and a one year manufacturer’s warranty. Customer support can be reached via Opteka’s very limited website. There are no customer support numbers posted. Only email links. Oddly this model is not even posted on the company’s website.
Without a doubt, the Opteka RC2 Nikon Remote is a durable and cost effective tool. Its a welcome addition to my camera bag.
