Review on Wireless Remote Shutter Release: Vello FreeWave for Nikon DC-2 (D90, D3100, D5000, D5100, D7000) by Dave Wheeler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent remote shutter release

This wireless remote just works. Easy to use. I've used it up to 200 feet with no issues. While there are guidelines for RF sync to improve performance, I've never had to use them. It may not be as durable as a camera manufacturer's product, but for the price, I could buy a few before spending as much as a well-known branded product. My only suggestion for improvement is to suggest an alternative mechanism for nesting (not sure how). Most of the time a hot shoe mount is fine, but sometimes I want the flash or flash remote to be on the hot shoe and I need to do something to prevent the receiver from hanging loose. I wrapped the cord around the grip on the tripod head, but it's not perfect. Conclusion - I like this remote descent!

Pros
  • No line of sight required | Range up to 100m
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
