Looking to take some landscapes and need a shutter release. To my horror these seem to be about £160 for the D300. However is it necessary to spend this sort of money is there a cheaper option.

Thanks

got mine off fleabay last year from hong kong for about £20 called a yongnuo:) does the job very well just do a search hope that helps ya;)
 
Recently got a Hama one from Amazon for about £20. Works well.
 
I've seen them for £7 inc postage off ebay !!

That is clearly just a cheapo one but it works.
 
Have a look at THESE. I have one, very popular and nicely made. I bought mine last year, delivered in about a week, still works great

Mine's a thing called a Jianisi bought from fleabay for around £6.99 as I recall. Does the job perfectly. I sometimes wonder if it could do something hideous to my camera, but I'm hard pushed to figure out what.
 
I started a thread a while ago in which a few of us were messing around hooking up our cameras to our computers with a USB interface. I got it all working and wrote the software to do time lapse. Anyway when I took apart the remote there are basically 3 wires - one common and then one each for focus and release. So basically there is nothing whatsoever to them they are just a three position switch so under a tenner seems a reasonable price.

The fancy expensive ones add features such as time lapse etc and are good if you want that.

Hey cool! These things look great. I want one immediately. I must now think of a sensible reason for not buying one.
 
The cleon II looks interesting. Is the range 100m as they claim and is it uni-directional (ie can you fire from in front and also from behind the camera)?

Thanks,
Chris
 
I think Flashy has some coming in soon.........:thumbs:
 
I got one of the Phottix ones, and it is great for the money. Ebay>Hong Kong> Delivered in a few days :D
 
As a temporary measure, if you are not having to hold the shutter open on "bulb" - use the self timer. That trips the shutter without inducing any shake. Just set it for 6 seconds or so if the 10 second default is too long - and hang your camera bag off the bottomof the tripod to weigh it down and remove more tremors from going through the legs.
