10 Best Remote Controls for Nikon
for March 2023

MOOZ's editors independently choose recommendations. Purchases made through our links may earn us commissions.

Whether you're shooting birds, wildlife, landscapes or portraits, our photographers in the Institute Lab test and review remote controls for Nikon. We also test and review cameras and other photography gear.

We've tested dozens of remotes over the years and narrowed down our top picks to 10 models. The remotes we test have radio frequency technology that communicates wirelessly with the camera and fire the shutter or change the shutter speed. We evaluate ease of use, range (the distance the remote is from the camera), battery life, and ergonomics. The remotes also have to be compatible with the camera, which is important, considering the wide range of cameras on the market. Finally, we evaluate brand reputation, as remotes are rather inexpensive compared to cameras and lenses. Here are the best remote controls for Nikon:

Nikon Remote Controls - A Better Way of Taking Pictures with a Nikon Camera

These remotes are specially made and designed to cater to the specific needs of Nikon cameras. So, if you are planning to buy a remote for your Nikon camera, then look no further. This article will provide you with a list of some of the best Nikon remote controls available in the market.

Some of the downsides to using a camera remote control

Using a camera remote control has many advantages over using a traditional camera. First, using a remote gives the user more control. The camera can be pointed in any direction the user desires, and the user doesn't need to manually adjust settings or focus the camera. Second, using a remote makes taking photographs easier. The remote can be held steady while the user takes the picture, eliminating the need to steady the camera by hand. Third, using a remote reduces the amount of equipment needed. The camera, remote, and lens all need to be purchased separately.

Why should you use a remote control for your Nikon?

Nikon has a wide range of cameras and lenses, and each one comes with its own remote control. However, not all remote controls are the same. Some remotes have a limited number of buttons, while others have dozens of features. So, how do you know which remote is right for you?
1. The button layout. A remote control with a limited number of buttons is simple to use. However, if you need lots of features, a remote control with dozens of buttons may be the better choice.
2. The features. A remote control with dozens of features lets you control your camera in more ways. For example, some remotes have buttons for taking pictures, shooting video, shooting time lapse, and shooting panorama.
3. The battery life. Some remote controls last for 30 minutes, while others last for 8 hours. If you're planning to use your remote control for a long period of time, choose the one with the longer battery life.
4. The buttons. Some remote controls have buttons for zooming, changing modes, and taking a self-portrait. Some remotes have buttons for other functions, such as setting a timer, adjusting ISO, and adjusting aperture.

How to turn on, turn off, and adjust camera settings using a remote control?

You can control the camera settings of your Nikon digital camera using a remote control. The remote control allows you to control the camera settings from a distance. You can use the remote control when you can't be near the camera. The remote control has two buttons: the ON/OFF button, which turns the camera on, and the IMAGE/PLAYBACK button, which turns the camera off. You can adjust the camera settings using the buttons on the remote control. The buttons work in the following order:
Image: This button allows you to adjust the image settings, such as:
Brightness: This button allows you to set the brightness level. The brightness level adjusts the brightness of an image.
Contrast: This button allows you to adjust the contrast of the images. The contrast level adjusts the contrast of an image.
white balance: This button allows you to adjust the white balance of the images. The white balance level adjusts the white balance of an image.
Exposure: This button allows you to adjust the exposure level of the images. The exposure level adjusts the exposure level of an image.

Three tips to overcome the biggest disadvantage of using a remote control

Remote control devices are very useful. They allow you to operate your camera from far away, eliminating the need to position yourself behind the camera. Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to using a remote control. First, a remote control device is extremely bulky. It can easily take up half the space of your camera, making it very difficult to store when not in use. Second, most remote control devices only allow you to control your camera from a distance. This means that if you are shooting in portrait orientation, you will be unable to operate your camera from behind it. Third, most remote control devices require you to memorize several complex commands. This means that if you have a large camera collection, you will need to memorize many complicated commands for each one. These three disadvantages are enough to make many people shy away from using a remote control. However, there are some tips that can help you overcome these disadvantages.

Conclusion

So, now that you know which remotes work with your Nikon camera, it's time to decide which purchasing option is best for you. I hope this article has helped you figure out how to choose the right remote for your Nikon camera.
