    This a great little wireless adapter. It works great with my Nikon D3200. The WMU program from Nikon is VERY LIMITED, however, there is a free app for Android, DSLR Dashboard which works great and has much more features such as bracketing, live view, ability to change settings and more.
    I would recommend this adapter to any Nikon user.

    This is just what I needed. I used to take pictures with my Nikon, wait till I got home, and then upload those pictures to Dropbox via a laptop so I could download them to my phone. That took A LONG time. Now, I can easily transfer on-the-go with this adaptor!

    This is the perfect item for those who travel a lot with their Nikon DSLR cameras. It allows you to easily transfer pictures from the camera straight to your iPhone. You don’t need to buy those wireless SD cards. Just use this.

    Also, it turns your iPhone into a shutter remote. This adaptor comes with a small strap so it can hang by your camera for instant access.

    It works with just about any model. Mine was the Nikon D3300. You have to download an additional free WMU app from the Apple App Store. You plug it into your Nikon (for me it goes on the top of the bottom left slot). You turn on your Nikon and it will create its own Wifi access point. Go back to your iPhone settings and connect to this.
    Then open the app and you can rename your access point and put a password so that only you can access the photos / take pictures. The rest is easy to figure out once you set up.

    One downside, 15% of the time it may disconnect from your phone and you will have to reconnect. But this is a minor inconvenience compared to the extreme usefulness it brings.

    This is a must have for all Nikon owners.

    This wireless mobile adapter for appropriate Nikon cameras does what it is supposed to do, but it is cumbersome and somewhat difficult to use. I got this to use on my Nikon D5200 which is designed to be mobile-ready and I used my iPhone 4S to control the device. I had no trouble downloading the iPhone app and it worked well on my iPhone. The WU-1a generates it’s own wireless network, but it doesn’t stay connected for very long and I have to re-connect frequently. My iPhone controls the camera OK, but I continually have to re-connect. Pictures that are taken while controlling the camera with my iPhone automatically download to the iPhone immediately, which is the best feature of the WU-1a. However, when you attempt to download a picture at a later date that was not originally taken using the WU-1a, the download process is very slow and often times-out before the download is complete. This necessitates re-connecting and starting the process over from the beginning. Very annoying! Before I got it, I anticipated using the WU-1a on a frequent basis. However, I hardly use it because it is just too much trouble.
