Does this work with the Nikon D3100? I'd like an answer from someone who has actually tried it. Also, can I do bulb/long exposure shots with this?

Unfortunately the D3100 doesn't have the infrared receiver required for this shutter release remote to work. Meanwhile if you need a remote controller for your camera but will cost you a little more check out this product: http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-Wireless-Trigger-Shutter-Transceiver/dp/B004YW79F4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385769926&sr=8-3&keywords=Yongnuo+RF-603. This radio transmitter allows you to half press to focus and full press to shoot just like the shutter release button on your camera, from any direction and from long distances (unlike the infrared controllers), plus it will allow you to do bulb and long exposures as well. I hope you find this answer useful and good luck.

The only remote Im aware of thus far,that will work with the Nikon D3100 is a CORDED Model,its the MC-DC2.Pretty inexpensive,and there is that cord you'll have to deal with,but at least its something.A BIG step backward when you learn that the Nikon D3000 works with the WIRELESS type.Bummer .BAD NIKON,BAD!

I couldn't answer your question. I have a D3100 and it works well with the flash.

Sorry I can't help you on this. I have A D800, and it works as advertised. Try calling Nikon technical help, their number is on their website.

Yup. First, you need to use the Manual mode to set the shutter to Bulb (in Nikon D90, Bulb is right after the 30 sec.). Next, you push the button down and forward (toward the wire); it will hold the button down. Thanks for the question. I always thought the Bulb setting is in "A" mode but I just found out it is in "M" mode.

Yes. Just tried it on a D3100 ... works fine. I believe it works on most Nikon DSLRs.

Actually David if your shooting with a SLR you should have a bulb setting on your camera. In this mode you control the length of your exposure. The remote has a lock feature that will allow you to take long exposures.

I'm sorry to hear of your problem. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the D3100 model. I believe both my model camera's Flash "F" in the display for fault or something in "M"anual setting but still fire. What lens are you using? This might explain the whole problem. Also you might try attaching them both to the camera body and unscrewing lens first then remove just the ring from the camera body. I will seriously try to help you as much as possible.

On my camera I am able to choose "Bulb" setting which allows long exposures. Using my remote I activate the opening of the shutter, using it again closes the shutter. There is only one button on the remote. Remember to point the remote at the infrared receiver on the camera. On mine I had to point at the front of the camera.

I have the D3100 and I have had no luck with this extension tube. Very hard to attach and remove from camera. I was worried it would damage threads on camera. I

Lex, Before I bought this one, I had one that claimed to work with my D3100, but it didn't. This remote works perfectly. You may need to review the settings. Autofocus still works just fine, but I set the shutter to Manual. I don't recall, but I think it also works in Aperture Priority mode.

I have a D3000 and a D5100. It works with both so it should work on a D3100, but truth is I have not had time to play with it so can't say how good it works.

I use mine with a D70, D200, D300, and D2h. Check with your camera and see what shutter release connection it uses. Then, see what other cameras uses that same connection. It could be that the D3100 uses the same electronic shutter as the D300. These remotes are EXCELLENT and the price cannot be beat. I recommend these remotes.

I know it works on both, however I just saw it on a d90 and in my d3100, and it works great! Hope it helps!

I had the same problem with my D3100. I consulted the manual, all menus, I went online for tech service, and spoke to other Nikon users. It just boiled down the incompatibility issues with my specific model. I was told very cautiously that non-Nikon remotes very much have the ability to ruin the motors inside the lenses. Since lenses are the most important and expensive component of the camera (already an investment), I sent mine back and will by trying the Nikon remote in the near future. Since the description stated that it will work but however does not, shipping (up to $5.26) is refunded. Good Luck. I had the same problem with my D3100.

I'm sure it will work. I have used it with my D3100 and I have no problems.

This light certainly works while recording or still shots. it also has a little knob to adjust the brightness. In my opinion very inexpensive and definitely worth the buy. You might want to buy a bracket for you camera because the light isn't small. If you camera is bracket ready then this is certainly the light for you. I own a Nikon p500 so our cameras are both similar In style but not the actual same camera. This is why I suggest making sure your camera would support the light either by bracket or your camera may even have something to already support the light on top. Sorry I could not help on the last portion of your question. But I would certainly recommend this light.
