| | Description | Wireless RF (radio frequency) remote control features maximum operating range 100m. Compared to an infrared (IR) remote control, it allows you to operate the shutter from either direction / angle. It supports unique coding for anti-interference and avoiding wrong operation. 3 operations modes: At W mode, the receiver is active, you can use the transmitter to control the shutter or focus. At O mode, the receiver will be a normal remote switch, and it will not consume any power. At L mode, the receiver will lock the shutter for long exposure. | |

 Terrific product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Dec 23, 2007
By Geoffrey Hamilton
I'll be doing family portraits in a couple of days, and my family wants me to be in them. (Imagine that.) So I thought I'd try this wireless remote. I've used the self timer for shots like this before, and that method is a pain in the neck.
Upon receiving this product, I ripped open the packaging, read the single page of instructions, and set about charging the receiver. It charged in less than a few hours. (I don't know how long exactly, as I left it alone while I did other things with my life.)
Everything works as it should. And better. Setting up in my spare bedroom, I was able to trip the shutter from my master bedroom-- through three walls. I've tested the range out to about 50' outdoors, but I'm not sure how much farther the signal will travel. The company claims 100 meters-- so figure a football field distance. Even 50 feet is more than I need, but it's nice to know I have that extra range if I ever change my mind. =)
The remote has two buttons-- one for focus and one to shoot. The shutter release button will also trigger auto-focus and may cause a delay in shooting. If, like me, you prefer to focus manually with this setup then there is no detectable lag.
It can also be used in bulb mode-- set your camera to [B]ulb, then set the receiver to 'L' to lock the shutter open. (Funny things happen when your camera is set to Continuous shooting, Program mode and turn the switch to 'L.')
I'd be happier with the product if it were built a little tougher with some weather sealing. It could also be a little smaller. So it isn't perfect-- big deal. I can wrap the transmitter and receiver in plastic bags for use in foul weather, and it does do everything the maker promises.
Great price for a 100 meter long shutter release! (Try finding a cable release that long!)
Cheers!
Postscript Added 2/11/08: I've been using this product for almost three months now. This works so much better than Nikon's equivalent. (Nikon's remote is infrared and limited to 5-10 feet.) The recharge times are minimal and the reliability has been 100% so far. There is no better wireless remote for Nikon cameras on the market. It is not perfect, but it is closer than anything else. And the Christmas portraits are pretty good, considering the photographer.
Cheers again!

Excellent wireless remote! Aug 14, 2008
By 4travelman
I bought the WR-100B in May 2008 and used it on several shoots (about 300 shots). I used it with a wireless Nikon SB-600 flash off camera in commander mode and covered the camera viewfinder from light. The receiver is a little big but it's no problem to just let it dangle from the socket. The connector is very tight from the receiver to the D300 with no alignment markings. After a few connections the receiver connector fits fine. I prefer it a little tight rather than loose. The transmitter was used for some focusing but the camera fired off everytime with this transmitter remote. No problems at all. The antenna on the transmitter is a pull out metal rod to give extra distance to the remote. After a four or five hours, I got sloppy and put the transmitter in my pocket and it broke off. The transmitter continued to work fine without the antenna for at least 30 ft. which was OK. I called and emailed Satechi about fixing the antenna. They were very responsive and gave me instructions for mailing the transmitter back to them. Within a week including all mailings I received a completely new unit (I mean, receiver, transmitter, and charger) in a new unit box. I was overwhelmed. I had never had anyone give me a new product for a minor problem (may have been easier to just mail a new one than fix the antenna). No charges were applied (other than my cost of postage of $1.68 to mail the transmitter back to them). So, the service was outstanding and the product works as advertised extremely well. Other than the few minor annoyances indicated above I would have to say this is a company that appreciates its customers and produces/distributes a quality product. I highly recommend. It's not perfect but it does what I want with no major problems and I can count on backup service if I need it.

 Works but has some quirks! :( Jul 11, 2008
By Kaizen Way
"Art"
Pros:
- Works as expected.
- the transmitter has two buttons. One to focus and one to shoot. Works! even out of line-of-sight as claimed. Love it!
Cons:
- I did not expect the receiver to be bulky! :(
- Difficult to plug into the din 10-pin socket since the receiver plug does not have any guide to match with camera socket. There is a great potential of misaligning the pins! if one is not careful :(

Best value with one exception. Feb 05, 2010
By Don Parker
Best product for features that we could find for the Nikon D200, including Nikon's own. But, the battery hatch is flawed in that a sliver of plastic can easily break by simply opening the hatch to check or insert a battery. When it happened to ours right out of the box, we tried to contact the company, who appeared to make themselves UNAVAILABLE. We considered this a rejection of warrantee responsibilies. As the unit remains "usable" we will live with it. Many other buyers must be in the same situation. This after one review described the seller as being responsive to buyers' problems.

Worked for a While Jun 10, 2010
By Canalene
I gave it a 3 star rating, because mine worked great for three months and then stopped. The battery was new (the factory battery didn't last long and had to be replaced). I took good care of the unit, so there wasn't any apparent reason for it to stop working---it gradually stopped over the course of a week.
Satechi very quickly replaced it! I haven't yet tried the replacement, but I'm assuming it will work fine fresh from the factory. How long it will last is the question.
