Question: Does this require an additional Nikon receiver attached to the camera body?
Document: First of all let me clear one thing; Nikon D5000 (one I have) has IR sensor on front side of the camera body. I believe that is the case with all other Nikon cameras. Thus if you buy the remote it will only work if you are facing front of the camera. It is not remote fault or camera's as matter that remote is not working if you are behind the camera.
I use this with a Nikon D90. Although considerably bulkier than the ML-L3, it seems to have a better range and does not require aiming right at the sensor on the camera. Make sure you remember to set your camera for remote triggering.
This remote was super easy to set up. I was very pleased. Right out of the box, all I had to do was change one setting on my camera and it was functioning perfectly. The range is decent for such a small and inexpensive controller. The receiver can be blocked if it isn't directly facing the camera, but overall, great product, would definitely recommend.
I bought this to use with my Nikon D50. I got it in the mail and I was excited to set it up and use it. When I got it, the instructions were confusing so, I got out my manual. It still didn't work. So I googled it, and watched some videos, still didn't work. Yes, it is set to use the remote, yes I pulled out the plastic piece, yes it was pointed at the receiver.
Since the D7000 has infrared receivers both front and rear, the remote works from the 2 o'clock position going counter-clockwise to the 5 o'clock position. Blind zone from 2 o'clock clockwise to 5 o'clock - that is a characteristic of the camera, not the remote, yours may be different depending on the placement of the IR receiver(s) on your camera.
I have Youngnuo RF-602RX that I use as remote flash triger for of camera flash. This will let you controle the camera even if you are behind it (or in another room if you want) but it will aslo cost you more. However if you are looking for simple, cheap IR remote triger that will utilize cameras IR sensor (positioned at the front of the camera's body) for sake of taking self portraits, long exposure, landscape photography then look no father. This one does the job.
It works very well with my Nikon D50. I loved it and I always carry with my camera.
Works great with my Nikon D5000! I've never used a remote with my camera before and am very pleased with how simple it is. Literally just point and shoot.
Doesn't work with a Nikon D3100 :( Which surprised me. Look to see if it's compatible with your camera before purchasing. I didn't do this and I was disappointed. The product itself would be great if it worked with my camera.
The remote works as advertised (and actually from a longer range than advertised per my experience) on my Nikon D5100. Just pull the battery tab and set your camera to detect the remote.
Answer: No, it does not need an additional receiver.
