I think a lot of words you do not lose the IR Remote Shutter: it is incredibly simple - camera remote trigger set, push button, ready - and is delivered ready for use. I have tested the remote release with my D5100 and the Coolpix P7100 and each there was no problem to determine. The price is also right, the workmanship is good, the materials serve their purpose. Together with Frustration-Free Packaging really only recommended!
