Description
The Bindpo Nikon 10-Pin Wired Shutter Release Remote is a wired remote shutter timer for Nikon professional camera bodies with a 10-pin connector port. It connects directly to the camera’s multi-terminal and lets you trigger the shutter, engage bulb mode, and program timed exposures without touching the camera body — eliminating the vibration introduced by pressing the shutter button manually. This is an essential tool for long exposures, time-lapse sequences, astrophotography, and any shot where camera shake during the exposure will ruin the frame.
The remote includes an intervalometer with programmable delay, interval, exposure count, and long-exposure timer — letting you run fully automated shooting sequences on-location without a laptop or additional triggering hardware. Compatible with Nikon D-series professional bodies (D100 through D810, D4 series, D3 series) and F-series film bodies with the same 10-pin remote rental port.

Shutter Remote Rental Tips
The 10-pin port is a large, round multi-connector found on Nikon professional and prosumer bodies. It is distinct from the mini-USB, micro-USB, or USB-C port, and from the smaller 3-pin proprietary remote port on entry-level Nikons. Check your camera body for a round port labeled “10P” or matching the list of compatible bodies above before renting.
For critical tripod work, combine the remote with your camera’s Mirror Lock-Up mode. This raises the mirror before the shutter fires, eliminating mirror slap vibration that can blur images at slower shutter speeds (roughly 1/4″ to 1/30 sec). Set a 2-second delay on the remote after mirror lockup for completely vibration-free captures.
The remote runs on AAA batteries (typically 2). Batteries are not included in the rental. Pick up a fresh set before your shoot — a set of alkaline AAAs will typically last through many hours of normal use, but if you’re running a multi-hour time-lapse it is worth having a spare pair.
If you’re using the intervalometer for night sky or time-lapse work, program your delay, interval, and count values in daylight or at home before heading out. Navigating a small LCD menu in the dark or in cold conditions is error-prone. Test-fire the remote with a few test shots to confirm your settings before the final session starts.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will this work with my Nikon D750 or D610?
The D750 and D610 use a smaller 3-pin proprietary Nikon remote port, not the 10-pin connector. This remote is not compatible with those bodies. The 10-pin port is found on Nikon’s professional tier: D800, D810, D700, D300/D300S, D200, D100, D4 series, D3 series, D2 series, D1 series, and the film-era F5, F6, F90, F100.
What is intervalometer mode used for?
Intervalometer mode fires the shutter at a set interval for a set number of frames — used to create time-lapse sequences from the still images. You program a delay (when to start), an interval (how often to fire), and a count (how many frames). For example: start in 5 seconds, fire every 10 seconds, for 200 frames — giving you 200 images to compile into a time-lapse clip.
What is bulb mode and when do I need it?
Bulb mode keeps the shutter open as long as the remote’s shutter button is held (or locked). It is used for exposures longer than 30 seconds — the maximum shutter speed available on most camera dials. Astrophotography (star trails, Milky Way) light painting, and very low-light scenes where you need exposures measured in minutes all use bulb mode.
Can I use this if my camera has a built-in intervalometer?
Yes, but the remote still adds value even if your camera has an internal intervalometer. The remote allows bulb-mode time-lapses (the built-in intervalometer may cap at 30 seconds per frame), and it lets you trigger the shutter without touching the camera for any exposure type — even outside of time-lapse work.
