Wireless RF (radio frequency) remote control features maximum operating range 100m. Compared to an infrared (IR) remote control, it allows you to operate the shutter from either direction / angle. It supports unique coding for anti-interference and avoiding wrong operation. 3 operations modes: At W mode, the receiver is active, you can use the transmitter to control the shutter or focus. At O mode, the receiver will be a normal remote switch, and it will not consume any power. At L mode, the receiver will lock the shutter for long exposure.

After having purchased several "cheapo" wireless remotes from eBay a Flickr forum member recommended the Satechi WR-B100. I ordered the item and received it in 2 days. I did a quick test with it and everything seemed to work great, was in a rush. Looking at it a little later I realized that something was wrong, it was not the exact same item as I had ordered. I called Satechi, yes a live body answered. The very friendly lady ask me to email a picture of the item I had received and to explain the difference, which I did right a way (this was late in the day). I received an email the very next morning explaining that the item had been updated and I had been shipped the old version. They said the correct item had been re-shipped already and a prepaid return label would be in the box to return the old item. Received the correct item in 2 days. I tested the item and it is better than advertised. I fired the camera from 2 rooms away, NOT in line of sight. I went through 3 rooms and out into the back yard and it fired the camera (shooting brackets of 5 shots), through an all brick house. Now I will probably never need this feature but it is nice to know that it will do it.
I have never had such great service where they accepted that they made a mistake and corrected it without making me return the other item first, no extra cost incurred by me. The item far exceeded my expectations and the price is very reasonable.

I purchased this remote for a D300. It works great.
I have not tested the remote distance but it works as far as I will be able to use it.
I also use it to trigger the picture from the receiver in order to remove the need to touch the camera/tripod at all. Both methods work find. Because of the dual use, the receiver cord is long enough to get in the way. The solution I have used is a velcro wrap to keep the receiver and cord from being too cumbersome when you do not want the full extension.
I am presently trying to figure a way to use this remote while using the "bulb" exposure functionality (one click to open shutter, one click to close it) for long exposures. Presently I have to use the receiver rather than the remote to accomplish this. I will update this review when/if I learn more

As a D3 owner, this device works perfect. Finally the DIN plug has 3 alignment slots and was a perfect fit.

I used this with my Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) to take some family photos that I would be in. My first impression was how cheap it was. Its made of flimsy hard plastic that you are afraid you will break. After figuring out what needs to be charged (the part that attaches to the camera) it took some wiggling before a connection was made and the lights indicated it was charging. The remote has a battery that is included. The remote has a couple of slide settings and it took me some experimenting to figure out what worked with the D300. When I started taking photos it did not work until I wiggled the slider. I did get pictures with it. I was about 20 feet away, I think it is supposed to work up to 300 feet away but I have not tried it. So, yes, it works, but don't expect Nikon quality and be prepared to jiggle the slider to get a connection.

I bought the WR-100B in May 2008 and used it on several shoots (about 300 shots). I used it with a wireless Nikon SB-600 flash off camera in commander mode and covered the camera viewfinder from light. The receiver is a little big but it's no problem to just let it dangle from the socket. The connector is very tight from the receiver to the D300 with no alignment markings. After a few connections the receiver connector fits fine. I prefer it a little tight rather than loose. The transmitter was used for some focusing but the camera fired off everytime with this transmitter remote. No problems at all. The antenna on the transmitter is a pull out metal rod to give extra distance to the remote. After a four or five hours, I got sloppy and put the transmitter in my pocket and it broke off. The transmitter continued to work fine without the antenna for at least 30 ft. which was OK. I called and emailed Satechi about fixing the antenna. They were very responsive and gave me instructions for mailing the transmitter back to them. Within a week including all mailings I received a completely new unit (I mean, receiver, transmitter, and charger) in a new unit box. I was overwhelmed. I had never had anyone give me a new product for a minor problem (may have been easier to just mail a new one than fix the antenna). No charges were applied (other than my cost of postage of $1.68 to mail the transmitter back to them). So, the service was outstanding and the product works as advertised extremely well. Other than the few minor annoyances indicated above I would have to say this is a company that appreciates its customers and produces/distributes a quality product. I highly recommend. It's not perfect but it does what I want with no major problems and I can count on backup service if I need it.
