A cheap and good D200 remote.

Hi Chaps.
Whilst trolling through ebay in search of a decent 80-200 2.8, I chanced upon this little remote.

It's cheap enough to risk, so I bought one.
It's advertised to work at 100m and as I'm geeky enough to own a 100m measuring tape, I can confirm that yes, it does.
(I can't guarantee that your environment won't be noisy on the remote's unknown frequency, so ymmv!)
I can also report that the D200's flash does not reach out to give decent enough exposure at 100m.
You might have independently come to that conclusion already though.
It's well made, comes with batteries and works. It's more than a little cheaper than the Nikon solution!

please tell me you didnt actually lay out the 100m tape?

out of interest, did you try the range of the D200 in built flash in commander mode, to trigger an SB600/800. Love to know that result (tape measure or steps would be fine)

Well, one needs to know if one's getting what one paid for!
Don't have an SB600 or 800 yet, but I might have to get one for the 1/124 power flash..
