Remote Control Shutter Release for D700

Postby Geoff on Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:57 pm

Hi guys,

I could google this but prefer a bit of a chat!
I'm after a wireless remote for my D700 that I can focus and trigger the shutter remotely?
I also want to be able to use the SB800 (on camera) at the same time.
Can anyone suggest a good remote and source for me?
Thanks heaps in advance.
Am wanting this to do a few DYI home family portraits of my partner, myself and our 7 month old son.

The only issue I have with this remote is that the focus is a bit hit and miss, however for my usage its nearly always pre focused so not a big deal, additionally i could be missing something ;)

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I am using the Phottix Strato (latest gen is the Strato TTL) which offers the dual usage of remote release or can be used a flash triggers.

Gerry's already covered it but I'm using the same wireless remote as he is ($95 in Sydney)
