Muy útil para enviar las fotos por wifi al teléfono. Me gusto también el precio, bastante razonable para lo que suelen valer este tipo de dispositivos en Nikon. Fue muy útil para estas primeras cámaras que no tenían wifi directo.

This adds that little bit of versatility I wanted for my camera with out jumping up to the next level with a built in one. Works great Nikkon part.

Received before expectation in good packaging.Nikon original box (but not sealed) with "made in Japan" print.Plastic quality of both Wu-1a and it's holder (that can be fixed with camera strap) is very good. Strap is strong.Used it with Nikon D 5200.At first it once got disconnected. I switched off other one nearby hotspot and brought camera nearer to phone. Then it worked seamlessly.Download speed was 1.33 mbps to 2.5 mbps for my 2 gb RAM mobile phone. Most of the time it was near 2mbps.During trial I downloaded 33 jpeg (avg 3mb each) pics at first go and I'm fully satisfied with it's function.

I ordered this WU-1a to use with my shiny new D3300. I'm a total novice to DSLRs, but I wanted to be able to snap a photo and then be able to view and edit it on my iPad, since my laptop is currently thrashed. iPads notoriously have no ports for memory cards, hence the need for the wireless adapter.-How big is it?It's a little bit bigger than my thumbnail at the base. It's really not very big. Since it's so small, it doesn't really add weight or bulk to the camera, which is nice.-Does it drain my battery?I don't leave mine attached for extended periods of time. Instead, it comes with a nifty little carrying case that attaches right to your camera strap. I plug it in when I want to transmit photos, and unplug it otherwise. Since it's not constantly transmitting, the battery drain is minimal enough that I don't notice a difference between regular use and use with the wireless unit.-Is it easy to install?Yep! The instruction manual is ginormous. Most likely because it's written in several languages. I didn't even unfold it all the way (oops!) and instead, I plugged it in and looked at the instructions for attaching the included carrying case to the camera strap. After that, it was just installing the app and then connecting. If I had to pick a step that was the hardest, I would say connecting was it. It was still a snap, since I followed the advice of previous reviewers and put my phone/iPad in airplane mode and then enabled only the device's wifi network.-Does it work?YES! Within 5 minutes of the mailman handing me my Amazon package, I had wirelessly transferred 120 photos to my iPad. It's that easy. I've seen other reviewers complain about long transfer times, but I was able to transfer my photos in seconds. 50 photos takes about 15 seconds. As far as I was able to tell (novice, remember?) the photos didn't lose any of their sharpness or contrast, and the file sizes were the same as they were on the camera.-Would you recommend this?Absolutely. It works exactly how I want it to, and reliably. I got exactly what I was looking for, and would recommend this product to a friend.

I'm not sure if I'll use this enough for it to really be worth the 60 bucks or so it cost me, but we'll see. As far as the product itself. It's really small and it's neat that it can be attached to your Nikon camera strap within its own protective case so that one is much less likely to lose it. Of course if you lose your camera or it's stolen, there goes the Wireless Mobile Adapter along with it.The app was super easy to find and naviagate on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and the app is free. The directions of the product tell tell you what to search for when you're trying to find the app from the Android market. It comes up and you simply download and install the app. The app is pretty darn basic and simply lets you take pictures remotely using your phone or allows you to download pics from your D3200 to your phone. All of this of course is done wirelessly, which was the whole point you're thinking about buying this accessory. The download is pretty quick, depending upon the file size...obviously. My camera is set to normal jpeg file size so to download say 4 shots from my D3200 to my phone it was maybe 3 seconds total?Obviously you need a WIFI connection to use this Wireless Mobile Adapter and to download pics to your phone.My only real gripe is that once you download pics to your phone, they ARE NOT stored in your Gallery folder. They are stored elsewhere on your SDcard or phone. I had to go into the My Files app on my phone and find them...once in there you find the folder labeled Nikon_WU and open that folder to move them. You have to move them into your Gallery folder from there, which takes some time, though isn't too difficult. I wish the app had a setting sort of like a Save As setting so you could establish where you want your files downoaded before you actually download them. In other words, I don't like that the downloaded files are default downloaded into the Nikon_WU folder; I'd like to decide on my own where they get downloaded.Uploading your photos from the app to Facebook or via text or email is a breeze...just like you would do from your phone normally.A couple times the accessory was a little tempermental in hooking up to WiFi, and it took a couple minutes, but other than that the device works fine. It has a little green light that shines solid when the WMA is connected and you're ready to download or take pics. The only other thing I'd change is the technology so that even though you have the accessory plugged in to the side of your phone, you could use still use your digital viewfinder on your D3200. As it is right now, once you plug in the accessory to your D3200, you can no longer make adjustments to your shot using the digital viewfinder. You can set your camera to autofocus and it will focus for you and that's about it.I would say I would probably buy this product again as it is cool to remotely take pics using your cell and then download them to your cell phone, I just wish they were downloaded to the Gallery folder on my phone by default and not the Nikon folder. The D3200 I abosolutely love...the quality of action and portrait shots it takes is awesome for my uses and it works well with this WMA.

Update 6/24/12 WMAU reviewAfter waiting for 2 months on Amazon I finally got the WU wireless module from somewhere else by paying an extra $25 and cancelling my order on Amazon.The module is pretty useful. Super small and comes with a cool case that attaches to your camera strap. Connects via WiFi to your phone (Android for now) and the associated wmau App (Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility) gives you the following 4 functionalities once you are connected Remotely:1. Use the Camera to take pictures that will be downloaded and to your phone instantly. Take about a sec per pic.2. Use the phone to take the pictures. can see the camera view live. Only provides the shutter options but it could come handy for taking family pictures on a tripod.2. Downloads the pictures (temporary memory) for viewing on your phone in seconds. I had about 200 pics that were downloaded in about three seconds. From there you view and select the files that you actually want to download to your phone. Every time you close the app the temp pics will go away. You can select a picture or multiple pictures to download permanently to your phone.4. You can "share" the downloaded photos. The share option gives you all the usual suspects, Facebook, Gmail, etc.I like the last two option as I am betting all my techie friends on Facebook are wondering how I posted a family picture via mobile with this quality! :) Little secret iphone10!Also, overall now that I have taken over 2000 pictures and 20 videos with D3200 all I can say to convey the quality of pictures, ease of use, speed, and other utilities made available in this camera are WOW and Love it! Money well spent and kudos to Nikon.
