I was wondering what some of you use. ; I have the simple remote that Nikon makes for their cameras but was looking for something more before this summers WDW trip. ; I guess I want to be able to control the length of the exposure as well as maybe set up for it to take shots one its own. ; Any ideas or suggestions?
I just use the standard Nikon remote. ; I've rarely needed anything longer than the camera's maximum exposure time of 30 seconds in manual mode - even when shooting fireworks with an ND filter.
I don't think Nikon makes a timer remote for that model...I see that third party options are available though: http://www.amazon.com/RainbowImaging-Control-Digital-Cameras-replace/dp/B0032SPD8G
That's correct. ; The MC-36 multifunction remote only works with cameras equipped with the 10 pin jack which the D7000 does not have. ; If you have an iPhone 4, the Triggertrap app may be an option. ; It functions as a remote with the ability to set the length of the exposure and also has an intervalometer function, both available in the free version of the app. ;
John, ; can you give us a better idea of exactly what you're trying to do with the remote? ; If the shot's you're trying to take are under 30s, the stock remote should work fine. ; It will also take pictures on its own by locking the shutter release in the "on" position on the remote. ;
I found an iphone app that I am going to try out. ; By using a headphone extension jack and soldering on a couple of ir dohickeys it will send the ir signals to the camera. ; Plugged directly into the iphone it is wireless, using the extension jack and banding it to the lens makes it wired (so as to stand behind the camera).

Mostly being able to set longer than 30 second exposures as well as set it to repeat itself after say 1 second throughout a show.
If you're trying to do shots longer than 30s and the automatic repeat at the same time you definitely need a remote with some sort of intervalometer function. ; Shots longer than 30s without a repeat requirement could be done with a stopwatch in bulb mode.
