There are several types of remotes available:

- Wireless IR remotes like the Nikon ML-L3 are for short distances and may be limited to use in front of the camera, wherever the camera has an IR sensor. These small, inexpensive remotes are battery dependent and often used for self-portraits. They can be affected by ambient light conditions.

- Wireless radio remotes can offer greater range and higher reliability, but are still battery-dependent. Among these there are less expensive simple shutter releases, more sophisticated intervalometers (see below) and even more expensive remotes that allow more full control of the camera with access to camera settings via a computer, tablet or smart phone that also can send images to the computer/tablet wirelessly. For example, Nikon makes WT5A and WT7A that can be used with D750. Camranger is a third party manufacturer whose transmitters are much more affordable than the Nikon branded ones. I think to fully use the WT5A on a D750 requires purchase of that plus a Nikon U-1 Communication Unit, which makes for a combined cost of about $650. WT7A is more of an all-in-one unit, but costs about $750. Camranger offers two different models that do the same thing for $200 and $350, respectively. (Their cheaper "Mini" relies upon a permanent, built-in, rechargeable battery. The more expensive one uses interchangeable batteries and offers other accessories that add to the price.) These transceivers allow remote Live View operation of the camera up to 400 feet away, as well as transmission of images from the camera back to the computer.

- Wired remotes like the Nikon MC-DC2 are limited by the length of cable that attaches to the camera, but are not battery-dependent and are quite reliable. These are simply a shutter release. There are many third party clones that cost less, though the Nikon-branded one isn't very expensive.

- Wired intervalometers are sort of like wired remotes on steroids. There are also wireless versions of these (see above). Some wired intervalometers are battery-dependent, while others are not. More than just a shutter release, these have means of making multiple time lapse images, extremely long exposures and other functions. But, of course, they also can simply be used as a wired remote shutter release. I'm pretty sure the D750 has a built in intervalometer (as do some other Nikon cameras), but am not fully familiar with all it's functions or usability.

- Tethered shooting allows most all that can be done with a radio remote, but can be done with the USB cable provided with the camera and a laptop, desktop or tablet computer. Of course, it's limited by the length of that cable and some software will need to be installed (check the Nikon website for latest versions).

Which of the above you choose depends entirely upon what you need to do with your camera.

If you're seeking a remote just to be able to release the shutter while not touching the camera, to avoid "camera shake blur" at longer shutter speeds, a very easy and often equally effective alternative is to use the camera's self timer to delay shutter release. The delay allows any vibrations you caused by touching the camera to dissipate before the shutter is operated. Usually a 2 second delay is all that's needed, but you can use longer if you wish. If you have concern about "mirror slap" vibrations causing shake blur in images too, check the manual to see if your camera has "mirror lockup" or "mirror up" feature... or simply shoot in Live View because that gives the same effect.

But if you want to do extra long exposures ("bulb") or need other functions and remote access, pick and choose from among the various types listed above.

IMPORTANT NOTE: With any of these remotes or delayed release operations, it may be important to cover they viewfinder eyeport to prevent light from entering the camera and making a mess of exposures.

I'd recommend a cheap Chinese knockoff wireless model, good for 100 meters. I have one by Phottix (don't know if it is actually Chinese made).

On my Canon I use my cell phone as my remote. You can see the live view on the phone when you snap. Really useful if you want to be in the picture. Set up the pic, drop my arm and snap. I don't know if your Nikon has that ability.

If you are just avoiding shake, try using the self timer. And, check to see if there is a smart phone app that gives you camera control.

Use the built-in Wi-Fi and WMU app to remotely trigger your shutter. Unlike my 6D MK II, the app will not let you adjust iso, aperture and shutter speed. Just trigger the camera and remote view the photograph. I believe you would probably be doing this in live view. My 6D MK II only works in live view with the canon app.

I use self timer and mirror lock. I have one that's blue tooth but want longer range

I have the D750 and I use a free app from the google play store. Just type in nikon remote and it will install. works with the 750, 7200 and probably may others. of course you will need smartphone to install in on.

Go to Amazon and click Nikon shutter remotes. Around $10 (aftermarket) but works well. Make sure you designate "for D750 Nikon".

Decide whether you want wireless or wired. Either will work fine. I like the wired version but I can't tell you why, I just do.

I have the wire and a short range wireless. I do some photos through scope and it's nice to be inside warm. old bones aren't what they use to be

I am using the Pixel TW-283 DC2 Wireless Shutter Remote Release with both of my D750s and my D7100. Yes, I have three of them for convenience and set them for three different channels. I absolutely love them, and they only cost $39 each on Amazon.

Order the "DC2 for Nikon."

Enjoy!
