Little wireless remote vs wired remotes?

What is your preference. I have the standard Nikon remote or the equiv. without the LCD display etc .. for my F100 and my D600. With my D600 I prefer my wireless as it is so much smaller. What is your preference?

 

 

Cheers.

I have both a wired Nikon remote (and had an infra red ML-L3) but my preference is a cheap Viltrox 2,4GHz radio operated remote. It works with all Nikons with the 10 pin connector and the other modern DSLRs. Range is so good I never think about it. Excellent for everything from macro to shooting from a raised monopod.

It depends upon what I am intending to do. - I am absolutely no fan of wireless for wireless' sake. - Batteries in computer mice might last long but usually die in the most annoying moments. Wired TV / VCR remotes and phones have the huge advantage of a severely limited ability to get really lost.

So yes, I use cable releases or wired triggers for camera shake avoidance. - OTOH I also installed camera trigger apps on my Android devices. I have one wireless trigger somewhere but haven't used it yet.

Horses for courses. - To stand with others in an expanded selfie, I probably wouldn't buy a bulb release with several meters of hose. But I really don't fancy the thought of battery trouble on the hunt for land- or city scapes.

I got a wireless remote for the D3200, in part because it is the cheapest way to get a true time exposure (no "T" setting, but B becomes T with remote). The one I have, which was something around five bucks from B&H, uses a lithium coin battery and it lasts a very long time, and also does not fail immediately, but loses range. Given how easy it would be to carry a spare battery, I don't think I'd worry too much about battery life. I think I've only replaced the battery once since 2014.

I have both wired and infrared for my two bodies. (Interchangeable between D7100 and D5100.) I choose between them depending on circumstances. The wired remote is mostly used for exposures exceeding 30 seconds (B for Bulb mode, like Matt, above), while the infrared is my most common tool when I want to trip the shutter without touching the camera body. Both are less expensive Polaroid brand items, but they work just fine. My biggest challenge is needing to modify my RRS L bracket so I can install the 90 degree plug with the L bracket in place. Just a little Dremel work, but it would be nice if it weren't necessary.

I've got wired ( got a goo priced MC-36A) which is fully programmable for inerval functions too, and got radio through a radio flash trigger which can also trigger the shutter, and a el cheapo radio trigger, all are used depending on circumstances and subject...

I've got two of them. Both are wireless,because a cable will sometimes get in the way. I have the expensive Nikon ML-3 and I also have a Phottix remote trigger, which works pretty well.
