As you read this, my best friend and long time shooting partner Kevin is laughing, very much out loud. That’s because it was probably a year ago he first showed me, in a bragging way, the Nikon WR-T10. Technically, just the transmitter is called the WR-T10 but they have no one name for the three pieces that make up this really great, tiny, camera remote system.
The Transmitter, WR-T10 connects with either the WR-A10 (10 pin connector) or WR-R10 (USB connector) to fire a camera. In the top picture, you see the WR-R10 inserted into the WR-A10 into the ten pin socket of the D4s. When used this way, you have three channels available to you so three WR-T10s can be used at once and not tripping other cameras. What is cool is, you can leave the WR-A10 in the D4s, place the WR-R10 in the USB socket of another camera like a Df and when you fire the D4s, the Df fires at the same time. You shoot weddings, you can place the 2nd camera with a wide angle and shoot remotes while shooting close ups with first camera. Or shooting star trails? Shoot one camera really wide and the 2nd camera more telephoto. The amazing thing is, this accessory is really reasonably priced. So, don’t be like me and take a year to buy one (and a lot of teasing). This a great little tool that should always be in your bag!
