The MC-36A Multi-Function Remote Cord provides a simple trigger function and can activate the bulb function on certain Nikon D-SLR cameras. Functions as a timer remote and can be programmed to function as an intervalometer.

The MC-36A plugs directly into the camera’s 10-pin remote port. The unit works as one would expect and is straight forward to program using the multifunction button to set a delay if desired, the length of each exposure as well as the interval between the exposure and finally, the number of exposures. It can be set to a predetermined number of exposures (1-399) or it can repeat indefinitely.

The transmitter has an LCD screen which is backlit for operation in low light situations. It fits nicely in your hand and I found the controls to be responsive. The biggest drawbacks are related to the fact that is it a corded (approx.. 33.5 in./850mm in length) remote and unless you set it on a timer, you will have to remain next to the camera to operate it.
