And if you want to use it as a camera trigger, you can get that for a mere $280 – That’s only $20 more than the cost of buying a WR-11a/WR-11b and the WR-T10 separately!īut if you’re using it as a flash trigger, there is no way this thing (particularly the 11b) isn’t going to fall off your camera at some point during a busy location shoot, never to be seen again. In fairness, as well as allowing you to control Nikon SB-5000 speedlights, the WR-11a and WR-11b can also act as wireless camera triggers – for which Nikon has traditionally developed accessories for using these ports. It’s also the port used on Nikon’s Z mirrorless cameras because it’s smaller than the 10-pin port and easier to hide in a tiny mirrorless body. It’s a relatively newer type of socket and covers everything from the D3500 up to the D7500 and some full-frame DSLRs, like the Nikon D780. The WR-R11b is for the lower end DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, which utilise a smaller accessory port. This port has been around since forever (even my old Nikon N90s and F100 35mm SLRs have it).

The first is the WR-R11a, compatible with cameras that utilise the 10-pin accessory port that sits on the front of Nikon’s higher-end DSLRs, like the D500, D850 and D6. Sticking with Nikon batteries for my warranty period.The WR-R11a and WR-R11b are two different kinds of triggers designed for different cameras in Nikon’s range, depending on what type of connectivity it has. Spring is coming and I'll review the batteries. I'd have paid another $40 with my spare $40 Nikon battery Nikon should have offered an external battery charger. 25th on the same battery and I often have to recharge within a month and with my experiences charging in-camera this $5-6 piece of plastic paid for the batteries I purchased. Haven't tried them but did test my P900 included factory box battery and so nice not to have to plug the camera in for a charge! Been running since Dec. I as well purchased the Vivitar branded EN-EL23 replacements with an external charger. These are inexpensive cameras and inexpensive accessories that work keep them inexpensive. As someone told me on this forum, easy to misplace and nice to have a spare. Extremely frustrating with a slow moving target (Moon) at 83x and beyond.įWIW you can purchase 2 generics for the cost of the name brand item and certainly an item where multiples are handy. Not knocking the Nikon unit and likely a battery issue but it was rather frustrating. It has been at least 90% one push success where the "genuine article" was maybe 50%. I ordered a factory Nikon remote with my P900 back in June 2017 and function has been spotty so over the holiday I added a generic "Fosman" remote to an order. Haven't been around for awhile but seems like a good place to chime in in regard to wireless remotes.
