What grabbed my attention was the picture of this two part device. It looks remarkably like an RFN-4s! And when I say remarkable, I mean I cannot from pictures, not having either unit in my possession tell the difference between the two other than different names on the transmitter and receiver.
So, it's take your pick, I guess. Not missing anything I've been using RFN-4s for more than a year now with my D Here's my recent test results. I have had terrible luck with other Vello Wireless Remotes.
This one is junk. Replaced the first one and had same problems. It either stops working or starts shooting by itself. Also caused my camera to malfunction. Here is the Vivitar version of the same remote. Fortunately, my credit card gives me an extra year warranty, so replacement costs has been minimal. Lost shots miles from home due to malfunctions have been irreplaceable. Currently shopping for another type of Wireless Remote for my D Hopefully no permanent damage [ I used it with my DS and more recently with D No complains.

It doesn't appear to share the pin connector, allowing another device such as a GPS unit to be attached. Not sure though I used to be RFN 4 s for a while. Worked well. But then it fell off and got lost. So I bought the Nikon version see subject.
It is much much better. It has these advantages: 1 It tethers to the camera strap so that it can't be lost. Three times as expensive, yes, but 6 times better. COM "There's a good picture nearby. Find it. Take it. Share it. Osvaldo, Thanks for the quick reply.
I have looked at the Nikon, but way too pricy for me. Also, I mainly want it for long exposures and read this comment at Amazon. One has to hold the button down for as long as you need the exposure. Paul, I need the ability to lock up the shutter when in bulb mode for long exposures. I don't want to have to hold the button down during long exposures. Why would Nikon make a Wireless Remote that does not lock up the shutter when in bulb mode? When light painting, I may be climbing boulders, trees, buildings etc..
I'm still upset with Nikon for not fixing my mm the first time I sent it in for repair, while under warranty. I sent it in again to fix what they did not fix the first time, but by that time the warranty had run out. Needless to say I was outraged. So, I prefer not to give them any more money unless absolutely necessary. Nikon charges way too much for parts and accessories. The hood falls off too easy.
My original one is somewhere in Arches National Park. I'm just going by recent comments I read at Amazon and Nikon. Unbelievable over-sight Nikon. I was using this with my D I'm not jealous.

I own and operate 2 5DmkIIs of my own and I'm callin' in favors from a few folks in the biz that owe me, and I've conned At this point crossed fingers it seems likely that I won't have to rent anything at all I hadn't thought of the cross promo thing, you might see about something similar with Pocket Wizard.
Sounds like a cool project. Add a comment. Itai Itai k 10 10 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Might depend some on how the cameras are arranged for the shot. Not to go all Pentax partisan or anything. And of course IR triggers are usually programmed to a specific pattern, exactly to prevent a single remote from triggering multiple cameras at the same time.
You'd have to reprogram the receivers to all except the same signal somehow. How do you think we can buy a camera and remote separately and they simply work? I did not need to reprogram it or the camera, each time I upgraded the camera. Looks like a nifty little piece of kit. There are 3 ways that I can think of to achieve this. Good luck, let us know how it turns out! Actually, my understanding is that Jay doesn't mind being handy but will pay for it if it saves significant time in long run.
Are you talking about something like this? Lambert D. Lambert I'm not going to rehash a few ways of triggering multiple shutters: Radio frequency IR remote with repeaters Split electrical wire But if it need be exact, disregard the shutter speed because the mechanics of the multiple cameras could easily be slightly different. As far as I know, commercial solutions exists which allow up to 40 outputs. Francesco 3, 4 4 gold badges 30 30 silver badges 51 51 bronze badges.
