I have a Nikon D750 and am looking for a remote shutter release. I would prefer a wireless solution. Any recommendations? Which ones should I avoid?

Thank you.

I have several remotes like this, and they work fine on any Nikon DSLR.

Thanks. However it looks similar to the Nikon ML-3 which doesn’t work with the D750.

Don't know how you are trying to use ML-3 ( distance from camera, in front of camera or behind camera )

ML-3 works with my Nikon D750 however it works better in front of the camera where the sensor is located. I also have a Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release that works well for longer distance.

The old , small, light, inexpensive ML-3 certainly works with the D 750 (and D7200). The new, large, $285 ML-3, according to Nikon, apparently does not. The new model does work with the D 500 and D850 and a variety of other Nikon cameras.

Works with your D750.
I have had a similar Vello for my Canons for years now. Works great.
You will notice that this model comes in 6 different configurations based on the make of camera it will be used on. Usually, the only difference is the cord that connects the receiver to the camera. Different camera makes and/or models often use different jacks on the cord. Cords can be purchased separately if you ever wish to use the unit on a different camera.
If you need more capabilities Vello, and others, offer that also.

I have been using this one for two years works great. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IHCWRAS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Whatever you get, be sure it’s radio transmitter/receiver technology. Yongnuo has several models at a decent price but their manuals are worthless. I found a YouTube video on how to set mine up.

I use a Nikon ML-L3 with my D750 and it works great. I made one modification that I am surprised they don’t offer. I epoxied a loop on my remote and added a lanyard. Sometimes I hang it around my neck aid sometimes loop it to my belt and keep the remote in my pocket. Makes for easy access and I haven’t lost it yet.

Steve,
I have been using the Vello Freewave Plus Wireless Remote (for Canon) for some light painting and it has performed very well. If you read the reviews of wireless remotes, none appear to be outstanding. This remote works as advertised and the complaints some have expressed do not seem to be a problem. It is versatile and reliable (so far) and you should take a look.

Nikon makes two types of remotes. One, which I use, is the ML-L3, an infrared device that works with the infrared sensors on the front and rear of the camera body, at least on mu D7100. It costs less than $25.00 and is about 1" wide by 2 1/2" high by 3/16" thick. It works well as long as there is not strong light shining on the camera body. The other is a radio frequency trigger that fastens in the accessory shoe atop the pentagon prism. It is currently between $250 and 300, as best I remember. It has no problems with ambient light issues, but is a lot larger. The infrared trigger is very handy and pocketable.

I have a small wireless remote, but I have not used it for awhile. I downloaded DSLRRemote from the Android Play Store. It works beautifully and even supports mirror up and bulb functions. Free.

You have several options, some of which will depend upon whether you use external flash and which flash you use.

First, there is the Nikon ML-L3. It is an infrared remote, so you need to be near your camera and in line of sight to the sensor. These are very inexpensive, especially used. I recommend getting one even if you opt for a more expensive radio trigger. They're just very convenient. You will want to go into the menus and increase the timeout time; the default is frustratingly short. In fact, I put that menu item in My Menu for quick access.

Second, there is the Nikon WR-T10/WR-R10 trigger. This will be my favourite, because it doesn't require you to run a cable to a box that you then mount on your hot shoe (so you can use the hot shoe for a flash if you so desire). It's the smallest I know of, as well. And, if you get a professional Nikon camera, you can buy the WR-A10 adapter which allows mounting of the trigger on the front of the camera (away from where an L-bracket would go). Or get the appropriate cable for your trigger which mounts on the hot shoe...

There are radio triggers that just trigger the shutter (although some may add timelapse, bulb, or other options). These are generally large and I don't use the ones I do have, because I like the dual use of a trigger that will remote fire a flash.

So, the radio triggers that trigger the shutter or trigger a remote flash are quite convenient. The transmitter mounts on the hot shoe for remote flash triggering, or you hold it in your hand and mount the receiver on the hot shoe and run a cable to the remote shutter port on the camera. Of these, you can get a simple type that does not support TTL (I have Pixel Soldiers, for example), a more complex type that supports remote power setting of some flashes (I have the Cactus V6 transcievers, for example), or even more complex type that supports remote TTL (I have the Cactus V6 II transcievers, for example).

So the choice of radio trigger can be influenced by what you want to do with an external flash. You can get a simple flash trigger, set the flash to Auto mode by manually setting your aperture and ISO on the flash, and then get automatic exposure from the flash. These triggers are smaller, so my default is to carry them if I'm taking my camera brand flash with me.

Or you can get a flash trigger that supports remote power management. The Cactus V6 will work with nearly any flash that has analog TTL capability. You need two; they are transceivers so you can pick whichever you want as the transmitter. I use these for remote studio work, so often take several along with the appropriate flashes. The disadvantage to these are that they are rather large.

Or you can get a flash trigger that supports remote TTL. In this case, you will want to decide on your flash system, because that will dictate which remote triggers you get. Or, you can consider the Cactus V6 II, which can be set up with the appropriate firmware to support most camera flash protocols. I use the Cactus V6 II with Olympus and Nikon flashes, as well as Cactus flashes. These are the same size as the Cactus V6, so they are a bit large. Again, to use them as a remote shutter trigger you need two.

Here's another option. After I bought my D850, I was too broke to buy the power grip so after searching around I found a cheap grip with a wireless remote trigger from Meike. I was skeptical, but I gave it a shot. It's an exact physical duplicate of the Nikon (obvious stole and replicated the Nikon MB D-18 design) power grip and it comes with a wireless remote trigger. I was pleasantly surprised unpacking it and mounting it up as it was a perfect fit and the wireless remote works great. Buttons and dials feel exactly the same as with the Nikon grip. For someone who likes to rotate the camera to portrait mode, a power grip is essential, and the wireless remote is nice plus. The one for the D750 is below.
