Review on 📷 Pixel TW-283 DC2 Wireless Shutter Release Cable Timer Remote Control - Enhanced Compatibility for Nikon D7500, D3300, D5000, D5500, D7200 by Marc Stewart

This Pixel Pro replaces a similar Vello that stopped working during recording. I haven't tried its unusual properties yet. I'm a night photographer and I can't wait to try the northern lights and meteors timelapse/sequence. Once the Pixel gets used to the camera, it works in the basic modes I've used it in (Nikon D750). Mine was ready to go out of the box with batteries in and devices on, only setup required. It's important to note that they chose to put the battery plunger springs on the same end of the battery compartment, but the batteries still come in flip-flops. So you have to look at the orientation of the batteries. You can't assume the negative end goes to the spring. My device has a trigger. If you look at him too closely, he takes a photo. I don't know if it has half focus or not - I haven't gotten it to work. Maybe my touch isn't subtle enough, but it should be the same as my built-in trigger, which it isn't. It seems as soon as my finger is on the button I'm ready to shoot. I have no way to correct the focus. This means I still have to look through the viewfinder when autofocusing to ensure proper focus. Not ideal in the wild - I'd rather have the camera close to the critters and me somewhere else. The cable on mine takes a lot of effort to fit on the side of the camera. I'm not used to being so pushy with flimsy multi-thousand hardware, but until I actually hooked it up to my house I thought it was a non-working device. Once I figured out how to wire it it worked every time. But I have to leave the receiver hanging by the cable - it doesn't fit on the hot shoe, it's too thick. Unless I have to customize a lot, which I don't mind. I started hanging the wildlife lens soft end cap on the tripod head as a mount. The good thing is that there is almost no delay between pressing the button and taking the picture. I photographed hummingbirds with him. They are smart guys, even faster than kids. When there are delays, there is no bird in the picture. I am in favor of an immediate response from my equipment. In this regard, the Pixel fares better than my (three times the price) case remote, which takes a full swipe or longer to fire the shutter. I got the case block because 40% of my birds were out of focus. The case allows you to correct the focus on the computer screen, but now I'm missing 30% of the shots due to lag. I'm going to experiment with setting up a frame with the Case Remote and launching it with the Pixel. It would be the best of both worlds if they were a good match. Overall, for a remote shutter release, this is a decent product for the price. Anything cheaper is junk (I've tried). Climb the insane prices and remotes seem more suited to studio work than field photography. This Pixel seems like a good balance of price, features, features and hassle.
