Wired shutter release for D3

[Lukeeee1990]

After a wired shutter release (lockable one so i can use the bulb function for really long exposures) for my nikon D3....the ones i've found are £50 plus; is there a cheaper alternative? Seems incredibly steep considering the wireless ones fetch a few quid on ebay...look forward to hearing peoples response!

Use your tablet or smartphone if you have one.

Yup I paid £78 from Fixations for mine....so they are not cheap.

Is the Flash Centre still in existence? maybe they have something.

I use one of these, just over £2 and works perfectly - it's just a switch at the end of the day:

The wired remote I linked to is an intervelometer so great for timelapse/star trails as well as its lockable

Ordered! Seriously....how do nikon justify 50+ quid for effectively the same product?

I stand to be corrected if the 2 products do different things

My Hama one (sourced from either Amazon or 7dayshop) does what the OP asks for - make sure you get the one with the 10 pin connection. Sorry, model # not on the item and the packaging is long since recycled!
