Third party shutter release

[cannockwolf]

has anyone had any experiences with this Chinese shutter releases? I was hoping to start doing stacked images for use with Deep Sky and the timer gizmos look a good idea on this one, plus i always forget a stopwatch for long exposures :bang:

I bought the exact same one for my Sony A100 when I had it, worked a treat. Recently bought a wireless remote for my D300 from them and pleased with that considering it was less than £15 inc p&p.

Not sure how long they'll last but the Nikon one from Cameraworld looks exactly the same for £129.

Would have gone for this rather than the wireless but the D300 has interval/timed exposures built in so didn't need it. Hasn't the D700 got the same function?

this has jogged my memory, it has, never used it so totally forgot, still good for long exposures though, thanks for the input.
