Review on 📷 JJC Intervalometer Timer Remote Shutter Cord for Nikon P1000 P7700 P7800 D3100 D3200 D3300 D5000 D5100 D5200 D5300 D5500 D5600 D7000 D7100 D7200 D7500 D600 D610 D750 Df Z6 Z7, compatible with Nikon MC-DC2 replacement by Darion Wooten

I bought this intervalometer after buying two cheap Neewer style ones (very poor quality) had thrown away. This product right here feels solid and well built, time will tell how long it lasts. Pros: - Very bright display, easy to read (but also drains the battery more!) - Turn off the display backlight when you're done, which helps drain the battery. This is unique, never seen on other consoles. The button that turns on the backlight also turns it off. It's also useful for avoiding being framed by other people when the bright display hangs around for a minute until it expires (which other remotes do). - All the usual functions for standard intervalometers. Delay, exposure time (indicated by BU?), interval, number of frames and sound. - Apparently the main trigger works even if the batteries are dead or the remote control is turned off. It's good when the batteries are running low, you can still activate and hold long exposures with external sync without touching the camera. - The remote control is much shorter than most, making it easier to store in a backpack in an upright position. Many complain that other intervalometers cannot be switched off, but the LCD uses so little power that the battery lasts a year even with frequent use (I use it 1-2 times a week all night). On my first walk with this model here, I accidentally hit the power button on the side and it destroyed my distance. Worst of all, when you turn it off, settings (including sound!) are forgotten, making the power button utterly useless. It should save settings and be much harder to switch. The only thing draining the battery is the backlight and that is successfully solved with the light switch mentioned above, there is absolutely no point in having a switch. I'll probably glue it in the ON position to avoid hurting it. - The backlight and start/stop buttons are too dim and too close to the 4-way cursor button. Most other intervalometers have it at the top right below the display, it's easier to find and you won't accidentally press the main trigger looking for it in the dark. Keep in mind that this type of device is mainly used for night photography. - The four-way cursor pad is soft and not easy to adjust. If you deviate slightly from center, go sideways, not up/down or vice versa. Impractical to use in the dark, and certainly not when you're in a hurry. Four separate buttons work much better. Build quality and durability have yet to be determined. I tested this on my Nikon D750. No compatibility issues, remains to be seen how long this plug will last, which seems to be the main downside of all remotes (and Nikon's very stupid design). I don't want to use a flashlight to control the intervalometer, it needs to be intuitive and easy to use, neither is this device. It has some unique advantages, but the controls don't allow you to get more than 3 stars.
