Lengthen the cord

I suspect Nikon may have modified this item since many of the reviews were written. I can't speak for the interval problem, as I don't use it for that. However, in my version the RF filter just snaps around the cord. It takes only seconds to get rid of the RF weight and gain several inches of reach--the cord is 40" long without it.

Waste of time and money

Very disappointing, wish I'd seen and heeded these reviews before buying. Everything they've said, I've found to be true. The cord on the remote is so short that it really defeats the purpose of purchasing one -- you gain less than an arm's length, making this really only beneficial for use with specialty lenses or extensible tripods. I've also found the buttons to be quite difficult to use. They're miniscule and set into the remote in such a way that makes them difficult to depress. I've given up on this model.

Also, regarding the retailer. While I did receive the item, it had visibly been shelved for quite some time (more than normal wear to the box, inside components dusty). It also appeared that my "new" purchase was a return as the packaging had all been opened and resealed, some of the informational packaging was missing and the included battery dead.

NOT A HAPPY CAMPER

The remote is too small, and why is the diagram showing where the different parts are, only in German and Japanese? In this country, English is still the primary language, and I may read German, but I don't understand enough to translate the instructions here. Also, I can't see the print on the remote in the dark, and the buttons are a little too small, even for my small fingers. I don't understand why the camera locks up after I change the battery, and it's very frustrating to try and use something that is just going to mess up my camera, and thus my project. Also, the cord is a bit too short. Can't say I'm happy with this item.
