Tropical Depression Nate Weather Underground

A very useful tool when taking shots in tropical locations.

.....I have been using this product for years, great in tropical humidity.

This is a updated review. My battery purchased failed to charge within months and Nate at B&H responded quickly saying that while it was outside of the 30 day window for B&H replacement, the OEM offered a 1 year warranty. Nate provided info and my invoice, which was helpful. B&H responded quickly to any questions. The NewerTech OEM process was a little more involved, and I'm guessing my ticket was lost when they revamped their support website, or perhaps it was my error, but I did open up another ticket recently with OWC and I got tracking replies and quick service. They are shipping out a replacement for free. I'd recommend B&H anytime. For us users out there, always test and use your products and communicate concerns and follow up promptly. B&H is great. Customer's too are responsible for a good customer experience. Thank you B&H for your ongoing help. Joe 2/3/23

I normally use a wireless shutter release, but I needed this when I photographed bats on bill Forbes property when with Nate on a Trogon tours photo workshop.

Lightweight and is easy to set up. The remote focus feature on half-way depression of the remote's button is a nice feature. Works fine on my Canon 5D Mark III and IV.

This cable release works very well for keeping your hands off the camera with time exposures. The button allows for half-depression focus checking, just as the body's shutter button does. The push-locking mechanism is smooth and easy to disengage when using bulb exposures. The connection between the L-plug extension and the main cable could be tighter, as I've pulled it loose a couple of times, but that's a small matter. Most things on this 50R are well thought out. This is no exception.

The keys require more depression than Mac keyboards, which took a day or two to get used to. I've had it now for a few weeks and I genuinely prefer the feel of these keys, in addition to established pros like improved workflow.

I like this keyboard because you can feel the keys. They have a depression in the middle. Flat keyboards are hard to use. I will not try to clean this second one like I did the first as I ruined it.

While it looks like a fun little tropical souvenir item, it actually secures cable bundles quite well.

...The product is excellant for my field work in Marine & Tropical Biology. Compact & classy.
