[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 769287, member: 46724"] A word of caution; Careful! The D800 also has that 10 pin connector. I bought the body used and it was months before I bought a remote that was supposed to connect to the 10 pin. It didn't work. After some research, I found out the D800 had a known issue with the connector. Its difficult to manipulate the pins and hasty fingers can push the connector into the body, something that had already occurred by the time I got it. When I checked on a repair, it was more than what I spent on the camera. I still needed to control the camera using a remote, so I tried the aftermarket grip that has an IR remote, but that was hit and miss at best. Then I bought a CamRanger that connects through the USB, thereby bypassing the broken 10 pin. That fixed the problem and opens up a lot more possibilities, (seriously, it is a very powerful piece of equipment) but its a real pain to get setup every time to use it. Its more useful in a studio setting, more unrealistic in the field. [/QUOTE]
