Works with Nikon D40 and D40X. Just remember to set the camera to receive IR signal. To do this, click on MENU, choose CUSTOM SETTING MENU, click on SHOOTING MODE, then choose either 2-sec. DELAY or QUICK RESPONSE REMOTE. It took a while for me to figure this out because this remote control does not come with instructions. I hope this helps. Best wishes with your photos!

Very useful for an average D40 user. Lets you take a picture instantly or with a 2-second delay.

Great for scenery pictures if you have a tripod and need to get people in the picture.

This is a great product, especially for the price. I got this for my Nikon D60. Easy to use, even my kids like to use it to take pictures. It is great for getting the Photographer in the shot. Which we all know, is usually left out.
I've even found it helpful when trying to get the kids posed just right, and snapping off the shot before they move and before you get back to the camera to press the button. I would definately recommend this. Easy to use and a great accessory for the busy photographer.

I wish the range was better, but it certainly does what is says it does. You have to be right in front of the camera as not too far away. Worked great for family portraits with the D40 2 second delay on remote.

Simply it's great. It does its job perfectly. Very small size too (which makes it easy to lose :)

I used this with my D70. Little did I know, many of the higher end models (I now own the D300) don't even have the remote option for such a tiny price and a tiny product as this. It IS worth having but there are challenges:

1) You need to point this thing in the direction of the infrared sensor (you can't be behind the camera or have a lens between the side of the camera with the sensor on it - unless somehow my product was defective -which sometimes I wondered). It is often tough to get it to trigger.

2) This thing is tiny. A bit of anecdote here: I lost 2 of these so to prevent me from losing another, I added a bright blue bit of plastic string and taped it on with black electrical tape. I could put it around my wrist too. Anyway, the security at te airport doesn't like to see remote controls with WIRES attached. They though I was triggering a BOMB not a shutter.

Such a big review for such a tiny product. Anyway, this is good to have for a hobby photog. but isn't acceptable if you are working professionally because it can be frustrating to use and doesn't work from all positions.

This little item should be in every Nikon users bag. I just got into digital slr photography. I got a Nikon D90. One of the first things I did was try different techniques, you know, playing with shutter speeds and apertures etc... I found out right away there were going to be times when I wanted to use slow shutter speeds and my hands and arms are not always steady enough to hold the lense perfectly motionless. I can set up the pod, step away and just hit the button. It also helps with taking family(group)pics. No more setting the timer then sprinting over to the group and taking my place just in time. No more of the group having to hold the smile for an eternity waiting for the snap. When you're ready you just click. I would have payed triple the price for this little gadget. At this price there is no reason to not own one...

Great Item works great and for the price you can't beat it, you can bounce the signal off shiny objects so you don't always have to be In front of the camera

Easy to change the battery even though I haven't needed to. Perfectly still snaps a press of a button away.

The first thing I thought was how small it was. It was the best price on the net,well packaged,and received when they promised. Every Nikon owner could use one of these!!

So, this remote came with absolutely no instructions, and it took a while of searching to find it on the Nikon website, its SO simple, but I coudn't figure it out right away! I'm using a D40x, but this holds true for much of nikon's digital slr's. Go into the menu, go to custom setting menu, then to shooting mode (where you set multiple frame shooting, singe frame, etc.) And select the little remote icon, or the 2 second delay remote icon, easy as that!

The ML-L3 remote is a very useful tool for photography.
- Allowing shutter activation without shaking the camera
- Allows the photographer to be in the photo
- Flexibility when coupled with the timed shutter release
- A must-have for self-portrait photographers
- Allows you to step away from the camera and adjust the scene more quickly in studio work

Cons;
- It appears that the IR sensor for the D60 is on the front of the hand grip

Although the location of the sensor is in front of the camera, the remote can be used at angles to the camera and from behind when adequate surfaces exist around the camera to bounce the signal to the sensor.

Very happy with my purchase. This remote brings creative photography to a new level.

This is a must have item for many of todays new cameras.

Do yourself a favor though...buy two!

It works great if you've got you're camera set up on a Grizzly and you've shot and shot at him feeding on berries and your waiting for him to raise his head and look knarly at you. Then you can be all comfortable setting ready to press the button.

It is also good if your shooting Half Dome in Yosemite and your waiting for the clouds to clear just right. If you find yourself in a meadow doing just that, look around your feet, you may find my old ML-3. I think that is the last place I lost it. It is one hard item to keep track of.

I'm back here for more!

I think the remote is a great idea, especially for the product shoots I have to do. I thought I was getting a good deal by combining with some other purchases to get free freight, However, once I received the item, I discovered that it didn't work, due to a DEAD battery. So I have to go out and pay another $2.50 to replace it, so maybe I didn't get such a great deal after all. Amazon must either have a large, old inventory or they're not selling very quickly.

i have no issues with my ML-L3 remote control, the wireless remote works geat with my nikon D80. just point and click and the camera timer will start... very easy to use, and for only $14.25 after shipping, you can't really go wrong.

When I take upclose pictures of hummingbirds and butterflies, I can stand away from the camera and still get the shot

it is a christmas gift, so i won't know much about it until then, but it arrived quickly with no problems

I waste my money purchasing this item. It did not work from the very first try.

The title says it all. Incredibly useful and well designed. Simple and effective. Great range and eliminates the need for a cable release. Best of all the price is very reasonable but be wary of imitators and stick with Nikon brands.

Im not jumping up and down over this, but its a remote and it works. If you want to take pictures of yourself for myspace, but don't have someone to take them, this is the item you need!! Works good for taking family photos as well.

Okay.. this is the best remote ever. I have tested other remotes, but this is the best! Better get two, because it is so easy to misplace.

got it for my new D40. Amazing product works all around the camera (360 degrees around) with no issues at all. finally i was able to take my own pictures using 2 sec delay exposure. included pouch is totally worth, just put it on the camera strap and the remote will come handy at any time.

I like the premise of this handy little gadget; however, it doesn't work with my Nikon D-50. Can you suggest a solution?

Received the item very promptly. Tested the remote w/ my NIKON D50. Works well.

It just works great. So much better than running back and forth to shoot with a timer. Also great for eliminating camera shake on tripod or long exposures. If your DSLR works with this remote, it is a must have. Most problems mentioned by some reviewers seem to me to be the issue with camera. I use it with D40. And though I wish it was more powerful, it works great. I've even used it across a small street from the camera.

Plus, D40 gives some options to users how we want to use the remote. In the main menu you can set the "Remote On Duration" to 1, 5, 10 or 15 min. And when you want to turn it on, you press the "Fn" button in the front(with the timer symbol) right under the button for flash. As you hold the button down, turn the Command Dial on the back. As it rotes between several options, you can choose simple remote or "2S" remote where it fires 2 seconds after you press the remote. Very cool. You can press the remote and hide it!

And as someone mentioned, the remote works much better when there are lots of things to bounce off. In my experience, outdoors, the remote didn't work right behind the camera, but indoors, it worked just fine from the same position.

I don't know what most of the peeps here is biatching about, but mine works from all kinds of direction ( as long as you point it towards the camera) I used the control behind the camera and it senses it just fine. This product is cool. I bought it solely to alleviate a time consuming stop motion project.

Seems to work fine. Light weight. Instructions were not in the box and I couldn't find my D-80 manual. Took a few minutes to figure out. Does not work well off axis.

I love this item. The price was very reasonable. It makes it possible to join your family for photos. It works quite well and is small enough to put in a pocket or in any camera case. My only suggestion is to be sure to look in your camera's manual to find directions for use of the remote. The remote itself doesn't come with instructions.

This is an excellent companion when used with the new Nikon D90; its small size and VERY easy triggering (no need to point directly at the source sensor, just in its VERY vague vicinity). I know that operational proximity & ease of triggering are important performance characteristics to many prospective buyers, so I'll provide more specificity: the unit's operational proximity exceeds that which has been advertised (16.4 ft.) by 10-12% (appx. 18.2 ft.) -- perhaps this is a result of my use with a new model that had not yet been released when these "specs" were written, or perhaps the newness of the battery is at play, or conservative spec writing -- I suspect it's ultimately some combination of these three factors -- I'm not sure, but the results are absolutely great! When considering the price, acceptable fit/finish & reliable feel, this item win this a 5 star without hesitation, it comes with a black, snug-fitting tasteful case w/ Velcro seal. One small caveat: the unit must be VERY close to the body when attempting to trigger from behind the camera. A couple of configurations required that I move it in front of the camera altogether, not a big deal at all, but others have expressed concern on this issue or as part of a future "wish list," and Nikon seems to have left this design aspect unchanged with their newest dSLR (the D90, as of 07 OCT 2008).

Works great with my Nikon D50. I was worried that I would have to put the remote right in front of the sensor to get it to take pictures, but the infrared beam bounces off of just about anything. Only time that's a problem is if you have lots of "dead air" in front of the camera with nothing to bounce the the beam off of. It is a shame Nikon didn't include this with the camera, and it's also a shame that the price keeps going up on this remote, but it turned out to be an essential item for me, so I paid the price. Comes with a handy little pouch that attaches right to your camera's neck strap.

I am happy to get this little device for my new Nikon D90. It's relatively small, easy to carry, and very convenient to use (read the camera manual). Battery is included. I ordered the device and got it within a few days. Very reasonal price and excellent service from Amazon.com.

Small case provided for easier carrying. Worked well at our family reunion. Finally I do not need to set up the group, then run and get in the picture before the shutter opens. I can stand with the group and point. It's great!

Hold you hand over the top of the camera and this will work perfect. Stand to the side and it will work. Your hand will not be in the picture unless you are an idiot.

This little gadget does an adequate job as long as it can see the sensor(front of camera) Useless from any other position.

Pros-small, long-battery life, high-quality
Cons-short ranged, can only be used in front of camera
I love my remote, and wouldn't trade it for anything but a good old cable release. The wireless is nice, but I'd like to be able to use it from behind my camera.
