Nikon D3000 Shutter Release Cable?

[AUS-10]

Is there a shutter release cable compatible with the D3000 or is the IR wireless remote the only option?

Look up Phottix, I think they have something.

 

[boogschd]

yeah IR Remote only.

OR

shutter release via computer & some camera control application?

The ML-L3 works like a charm and for $18 is a great little gadget to have in your bag.

For future reference to readers of this thread, the ones on eBay for $5 shipped work even better (longer distance).

Granted they don't say 'Nikon' on them.

Yep just like my 15 dollar opteka battery for my D90 that lasts even longer than the "Nikon" one. :thumbup:

How much longer? 5 feet? 50 feet? 500 ft? At what distance did the Nikon remote no longer trigger the camera?

500ft? It's infrared, not magic.

In my experience the Nikon cut out at about 20 feet, I had to stop at 30 feet because I ran out of hallway.
