The user-friendly interface and intuitive controls allowed me to set up my shots with ease, even without prior experience.The functionality of this device is truly impressive. Whether I'm capturing star trails, light trails, or stunning landscapes, the intervalometer allows me to achieve the perfect exposure every time.

It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around in my camera bag without adding unnecessary bulk. Plus, it's compatible with a wide range of Nikon cameras, so I didn't have to worry about compatibility issues.Overall, I can't recommend the JJC Intervalometer Timer Remote Shutter Release highly enough. It's the perfect tool for beginners looking to explore the world of long exposure photography, offering simplicity, functionality, and reliability at an affordable price. If you're looking to take your photography to the next level, this device is a must-have addition to your kit. Five out of five stars from me!

great timer and remote release. Works just like it should and battery life is incredible.

I agree with most reviewers that this intervalometer is easy to use and works well, and that the instructions could be better. It does work well and is easy to use. I suspect many negative reviews are by people that don't bother to learn how intervalometers work. If you want to make a 4-second shot every 15 seconds (4 shots per minute), then the exposure (B) is set to 4 and the interval (I) is 11 seconds, and 4+11=15. Nowhere do you enter 15 to accomplish this interval. Also, the delay or timer is just how long until the first shot. I guess it's obviywhat the number of shots does.One thing that would be nice is for the device to retain your settings between sessions. I'd like to be able to program it indoors, turn it off, and then be able to turn it on with the saved settings. Well.... It don't. You have to enter the settings every time you turn it on.I use this device more as a remote shutter release than as an intervalometer whenever the trusty old Nikon D3200 is on the tripod. For star trails, I set the camera to M, ISO 400, 30 second exposure, shutter set to shoot continuously, 8mm lens focus locked at infinity, aperture f5.6, and then I lock down the shutter button of this intervalometer (I could program the intervalometer to do this with the camera exposure set to B, but remember what I said about having to program it every time it's turned on?). I also have a 120volt power adapter that plugs into the camera battery slot, allowing the camera to operate continuously rather than perhaps an hour with a battery. It then takes a minute or two for the free StarStax software to compile a few hundred images into a nice star trails image. Admittedly, my settings are not the same as most found in astrophotography blogs, but I like the results I'm getting so far with my equipment. I could use higher ISO if we didn't have as much light pollution. Your experiences will be different, so just go out in a dark place and try a bunch of settings to find what works best for you.All things considered, I would buy this device again if needed because it does what I want at a very affordable price.

I’m extremely pleased with this Intervalometer. I purchased it to use with my Nikon D7000 for Astrophotography. Before that I was trying to use the built in Intervalometer function on the camera.I found that very frustrating.The first time out with this unit I successfully programmed and used it to photograph the Orion Nebula. Once you figure it out the programming is quite easy. There is a light option. Unlike some other units there is a power switch.So far I’ve used it for 3-4 outings and about 2-3 hours of timing. Even without turning it on you can use it as a remote release on Nikon cameras.I followed the suggestion of another buyer and only used the supplied Chinese batteries to test the unit. Then I threw them out and put some quality Alkaline cells into it.When using it for longer exposures than 30 seconds remember to set your camera to Bulb. I made the mistake of programming for 1 minute exposures and forgetting to set my camera to bulb. So I had a long session with only 30 second subs.I highly recommend this unit, kind of reluctantly. In America’s current situation we produce very little electronics and rely on China for inexpensive products. This is one of those. It does the job of the Nikon unit for about 1/6 or less the cost. I can’t tell how long it will last, but so far it seems pretty well built. That’s why I gave it 5 stars.

Design flaw in the connector. It will break off after a few uses. It's impossible to be careful enough to not move it while using the camera.
