 Don't waste your time on this product. June 28, 2010
Frank Ritenour (San Clemente, CA)
I received the remote and the remote function didn't work. I called the company in GA and they sent me another one. It had the same problem. I called to get some technical help just incase I was not doing someing right. They said someone would call me in a day or two since the only technical people were in England. Well I didn't get a call so I sent it back. The instructions were not very clear and the product is not labeled clearly. As I said, don't waste your time on this product.

Many cool functions. Not completely intuitive but not too hard to figure out. Seems overpriced but I cannot make one myself.

More than just a "multi-function remote cord" October 9, 2009

I find myself using the MC-36 quite a bit more than I thought I would, and I'm sure anyone contemplating purchasing one knows what they're all about.
I originally purchased it because I like the idea of using it during long exposures or awkwardly placed shots when the camera is mounted on a tripod. I'd rather preview the scene with Live View and use the MC-36 than bend, look in the eyepiece and risk jarring the camera or otherwise upsetting the shot. The MC 36 gives you all the essential functions in your hand, but a few feet from the camera.
But it doesn't end there.
You can take longer exposures than the camera normally permits (my D300 is limited to 30 seconds without the MC-36, but it can take virtually any duration with the cord attached). You can also do repeating time lapse and so on with it.
Only complaints are that there's no ON/OFF switch, so the display is always running. I'm sure it doesn't use much power (haven't been through a set of batteries yet), but I'm sure it would run longer if there were a way to turn it off altogether. Still, I believe the manual says that the basic remote shutter operation continues to work, even without batteries, so there's at least some fail-safe in here.
The other thing I don't love about it is that it's more complicated than it needs to be. Ideally, it would be integrated into the camera's excellent menuing system so you could use all the functions without memorizing the manual, but this isn't the case. It does a lot - you just have to read the manual to figure it out.
Otherwise, great product.

I bought mine sometime last year, before august. I put the AAA batteries in. The unit has been displaying information nonstop since I took it out of the package and I have not changed the batteries yet. The manual says battery life in this unit hovers around three months. I've been running mine for almost a year, and it has never given me problems. It is a must if you're interested in any kind of long exposure imaging.
