Does a better job than the brand version at a lower price
Its very rare to find third party products that surpass the original brand specs and at a vastly lower price but amazon managed to do this with little to no effort. This remote has a more robust design and better finish than it nikon counterpart with a more reliable warranty period. That fact its signal can travel up to 5 meters is a huge benefit when moving around in a large studio or out doors. There is a slight delay from trigger to shot, but this is expected with wireless transmissions and can be fixed with enough practice.I must address that that depending on the model of dslr you're using, the means of pairing the remote will vary however this is usually something that is performed in the camera settings or options. I run a Nikon D5500, so i have to follow this method but since the instructions are simple to use it'll be easy for any new buyer to get up and running with their gear. With that said I still highly recommended purchasing this item for the level of freedom you get.

Works on both my Canon DSLRs
I brought two of these, one for each of my bodies (300D and 650D) it works great with both. I did have to get a replacement for one as it was faulty but the other worked flawlessly. Please make sure you read your camera manual first on how these function. A couple of other reviewers have picked fault with this remote when really any problems they perceive are the fault of the camera not the remote. Yes on both of my cameras, the delay is reduced to 2s instead of 10s, Canon do mention this in the manual and it is the camera that does this not the remote. On Canon DSLRs the remote sensor is the black dot on the front of the hand grip, that means the remote needs pointing at it, again not the fault of the remote.The remote itself is tiny in the hand and comes with a nice little pouch to store it in which is useful if not essential.One negative which seems like it would be easy to correct is that there is no loop or anything which would allow it to be attached to a lanyard or similar which would make it more difficult to lose.Overall though a sound alternative to the standard Canon remote.

Great value for money
This works just as well as others which cost an awful lot more. Very easy to use just point towards the camera and click. No need for pairing or complicated set up either. Great bit of kit

Well
I bought it and it didn't work with my Canon camera, although I tried several times in different ways reading or trying to read the instructions but nothing, it didn't work for me at least in neither of the two cameras that I have Canon EOS T3i and 5D Mark IV

Handy, cheap and a useful thing to have... if you have a Canon DSLR!
It's a little remote control for Canon DSLRs, once you've set your camera into the right mode for remote shutter activation, you just point this at it and press the grey button. Your camera autofocuses (unless you have it on manual) then 2 seconds later your camera it takes the photo. Simple.However... you will need a Canon DSLR with an IR sensor in the handgrip for this device to work. Check before you buy this! I'm not sure all Canon DSLRs do.There are a couple of caveats though. Firstly, there is only 2 seconds between button press and photo taken. This appears to be fixed. Although on the Canon official one you can apparently get up to 10 (and certainly if you just press the shutter button manually on the camera).Also the official one has switch on the back to allow instant photo taking. This one always has the two seconds.However, you can activate video recording and turn it off remotely with this remote, handy if you need to appear in the video!Just as a note: I had a fault develop in my Amazon Basic's remote after a couple of weeks, though Amazon replaced it swiftly after I let them know and the replacement has been fine.If you need a wireless remote cheaply, and have the right camera (and want to activate photos from in front of it - like for a group shot) then this will do the job fine! Also useful for if you want to take a photo and avoid wobble when you press the button, like for telephoto shots of the moon, for example.

Works great
This thing works great even on an old Nikon D50. We even replaced it when we lost one. It's lightweight and easy to set up. You don't notice it in pictures.

Does what it's supposed to do, well worth the money
I've been using this "AmazonBasics Wireless Remote Control Shutter Release for Nikon Digital SLR Camera" with my Nikon Coolpix P900 for a few days. It works fine. Others have said that you have to be directly in front of the camera for it to work but I had no problems from behind the camera. -It was only fussy when I was to the side. (It probably depends on the specific sensor locations on the camera it's being used with.) It works from 15 feet, possibly more but my room was too small to test it further. I'm really glad that I bought it.

Funktioniert, wie es soll
Nachdem ich an meiner Nikon P7800 zwei (!!) andere Fremdfabrikat-Fernauslöser (Ersatz für Nikon ML-L3) ausprobiert habe und beide nicht funktionierten, bin ich auf das Amazon-Modell gestoßen. Es ist zwar deutlich teurer, aber es funktioniert einwandfrei und das ist ja letztlich entscheidend. Und es ist auch noch ein praktisches Aufbewahrungsbeutelchen dabei. Bin zufrieden.
