Summary: 5 Stars
First of all let me clear one thing; Nikon D5000 (one I have) has IR sensor on front side of the camera body. I believe that is the case with all other Nikon cameras. Thus if you buy the remote it will only work if you are facing front of the camera. It is not remote fault or camera's as matter that remote is not working if you are behind the camera. It is the way how IR works.
With this in mind, I have to say this remote is awesome. I have created about 700 photos in last 3 weeks using the remote, and it worked every single time. Distance was from a foot to about 20 yards. Weather conditions where from 105F hot days, studio photography, to 55F moist/cloudy days on Pacific coast. I am very surprised how good this little gadget works. Would I buy it again. Yes for sure. However, I have to says, since this operates on CR2025 battery I have no illusion that this will be able to make another 700 photos with this batter, thus I have purchased extra (and would recomand this to you too).
Finally for those people that want remote that would work regardless where the location of remote is vs camera position, look at some of the remote flash triggers that have option to be used as remote camera triggers. I have Youngnuo RF-602RX that I use as remote flash triger for of camera flash. This will let you controle the camera even if you are behind it (or in another room if you want) but it will aslo cost you more. However if you are looking for simple, cheap IR remote triger that will utilize cameras IR sensor (positioned at the front of the camera's body) for sake of taking self portraits, long exposure, landscape photography then look no father. This one does the job.
