Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Release Cord

Been using this for long exposure shots and the wired connection is far more reliable than any wireless trigger I've tried. The three-foot cord gives me just enough slack to check the composition without bumping the camera.

Bought this for close-up work, and the extra length lets me fire the shutter without bumping the tripod. The locking mechanism feels solid during those long bulb exposures.

Finally, a simple wired release that lets me trigger long exposures without jostling the camera. The cable is a decent length so I can stand well clear of the tripod even for close-up work.
