Micnova GPS-N PLUS High-Precision Camera GPS Receiver Navigation Geotagging for Nikon D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D7000, D7100, D600, D610, D800, D810, D700, D750, D90, D4, D3 etc

I’ve had two of these units. They work well, quickly establishing a GPS fix and adding it to EXIF metadata on your Nikon DSLR. Comes with cables for the round multi-pin socket used on D810 & rectangular socket on D90, D7100 etc, and adds a useful cable shutter release. Much cheaper than Nikon’s (discontinued) own-brand unit. On the negative side it’s plasticky, and not sealed against heavy rainfall. Powered through the cable attached to the camera so doesn’t need batteries. If you need to geotag your photos and can’t find a Nikon own-brand GPS receiver / data tagger this does the job well.

First impressions:- This unit and the supplied leads look well made. GPS acquisition is reasonably fast. However, I haven't much time to access reliability and accuracy, but my initial impression is good! If it continues to work as well as it has so far, the it's got to be very good value for money!

Took delivery 3rd January. Took it on holiday for 6.5 weeks. After 3 weeks it stopped working. Amazon returns gave me 30 days to return it, but I was away for 56 days. I've contacted the importer who says I must contact Amazon. How do I do that? The web address for Micnova does not exist. I purchased the item using my wife's Amazon account as she has Prime and I couldn't get it earlier using my own account. So, my advice is don't buy this item as there is no way to send back a faulty item.

Bought to replace a Nikon GP-1A adaptor. This adaptor performed much better than the Nikon one and picked up GPS signals much more quickly and reliably. Unfortunately the cable fell apart at the connection point to the camera after only about 1 week's use. Although replacement cables are available, they are from the same supplier and I have now seen reviews from other users whose cables have broken in the same place. So I decided to return the item and all its cables for a refund rather than replace the cable with another one that might also break. Thankfully the breakage doesn't appear to have damaged the socket in the camera.

Given the staggering amount the rival GPS adapters cost (esp Nikon's) I'd say this was good value for money. Got it to work on my D7200 without issues. It comes with both types of Nikon lead so should be fairly compatible with most cameras. The camera connects to it fine and shows the location data in the menu. The unit is very small and sits nicely in the flash shoe (can be clipped elsewhere also). Found it very slow to get a lock - about a minute whereas my phone manages it in seconds from cold. This means that you've either got to leave it on or be prepared to wait. Fortunately it can power itself when the camera is off. Not sure yet how long it can run for or how much draw it makes on the camera's battery. Seems reasonably accurate once it's got a proper lock. Certainly close enough to give you an idea where the pictures were taken. It also allows the camera to keep its clock properly synced (although the D7200 has a pretty reliable clock anyway). The thing that let's it down in my opinion is the lead that connects to the camera. The lead is very rigid and I find it can get in the way a bit. The plugs are also overly large and obscure the mode dial on the D7200. The plug on the camera end also sticks out. Shame as this detracts from an otherwise good product and could so easily have been avoided. Having said that I suspect it's not alone in this flaw. In summary, good unit that is value for money. Let down only by connecting lead and slow GPS lock. ----- UPDATE 20/06/2020: After a few outings I was really starting to like this little device. Unfortunately yesterday it started having issues connecting to the camera, it appeared to be on and have a GPS fix but the camera didn't show it. I initially put this down to a glitch as when I reconnected the lead it started functioning properly again. Today, however, it failed again and when I disconnected the lead from the camera the plug all but fell apart, which probably explains the issues. A real shame as it's a very good device for the money, but as I mentioned in my review let down by a poor lead. That being said the alternative lead with the Nikon round connector is of far better quality (unfortunately my D7200 has the rubbish rectangular socket). Not going to drop it any stars as I still believe it's a good product.

Worksvreally well on my Mikon D3300. Easy to fit, cable a little awkward, but the strap clip is the best option, if you use the hotshoe fitting, it obstructs the built in flash. Plastic, but seems robust.

It's a wonderful product, very accurate

I have been using this device for about two months. I find that I get good battery life out of it; usually I can get a day's shooting from my camera battery with the unit on most of the time. (Having an on/off switch on the GPS unit is a handy feature.) I have tested its accuracy against and a Garmin GPS unit and found it to be good enough for my purposes (agreement within about 10-20m most of the time). Unfortunately I have found it does not always record the location data onto the photo. I always give it time to settle down and register that it has a fix, which it does acceptably quickly and indicates its fix with a steady green light. Unfortunately I have had days when several photos didn't get their locations recorded and three days when no photos got their locations recorded. Because the single LED is the only feedback the unit offers I had no idea this was happening until I got back home. I would only recommend this unit if you are very short of money or don't mind the unpredictable loss of data.

Le Gps permet de géolocalisée les photos c'est super. le câble entre le GPS et l'appareil est très fragile.

Zaskakujące - bo zamawiając model marki Micnova otrzymałem (identyczny zewnętrznie) model sygnowany marką Sevenoak. Nie było to dla mnie problemem, ale... Używałem intensywnie podczas trzytygodniowego wyjazdu. Niestety, jestem bardzo rozczarowany: 1. seria zdjęć wykonana z tego samego miejsca - zarejestrowana wysokość n.p.m. różniła się dla poszczególnych zdjęć o KILKA metrów! 2. Często (mimo iż zielona dioda na GPS się świeciła) informacje o lokalizacji nie zostały zarejestrowane 3. Kilkukrotnie (mimo przebywania na otwartej przestrzeni - bez drzew czy budynków) po włączeniu GPS nie potrafił znaleźć położenia; choć tu zaletą było to iż zielona dioda się nie zaświeciła. Kiepska jest funkcjonalność: - sprzęt jest dedykowany do konkretnego modelu aparatu, więc kabelek mógłby być dopasowany długością (lekko licząc o 50% krótszy) - złącze od strony aparatu mogłoby być "kątowe" (a nie proste)

Collegato alla macchina fotografica permette di inserire nei metadati delle foto le coordinate geografiche con una ottima precisione permettendo di risalire alla posizione nella quale è stata scattata. A differenza del cellulare che, soprattutto in montagna spesso non ha campo il gps Micnova funziona quasi sempre

Yes, it works! I had hesitated to buy this unit because there was some confusion as to what cameras it would work with. I wish I had gotten it sooner! First, the cameras I own: D500, D750, D7100, D5200 Of these (and most Nikon models) there are two common connectors. (N1 and N3) This unit comes with cables to fit them both, the round 10 pin used on higher end cameras like the D5, D500, and more, and the rectangular connector used on the D750, D5200, D7100, etc. Rest assured, it does work on your D500 as I have tested it on all these cameras. Another point of confusion from the small number of questions and reviews here: Yes it comes with an adapter that clips onto your camera strap. AND, yes it comes with a wired remote control and be happy it does as its very useful. It will fire the shutter or can hold it open for a time exposure with a handy easy to use lock feature. Its included with the unit so its just a nice free bonus! As for how this thing will hold up in the long run I will say this: I don't know yet. The cables look about the same quality on other devices I have for my Nikon's so I can't complain at this price point. My experience has been that OEM Nikon accessories (which cost way way more) will be more rugged and last longer under heavy use as you would expect. That said, these aftermarket parts will last if cared for and not abused. If you are an amateur and take care of your gear I would not fear the quality. If you are a hard working pro who really beats his equipment around I would look at professional grade, higher dollar, gear. For the price I paid for this unit I am very well satisfied. Connections: Quick and easy. Plug it in, turn every thing on, go to the tools menu on your camera and make sure you have it set for "location data". Turn it on, a green light will blink as it searches. Once it finds its location the light will become a steady green. Its as simple as that. You can view your location on the camera's menu or take a photo and see the location and time it was shot on the data for the picture. GPS performance: First time I turned it on I was inside my house and it was taking some time to lock. I took it outside with an open sky and it quickly locked in. After the initial use it seems to lock on signals much better, even working inside my house. In doors it will lock on now in just a few seconds. I am very satisfied with its performance in this regard. I have no idea yet how it will hold up in the long run so I could only give it four stars for Durability. After some use I can come back and revisit this review with updated information. Meanwhile I regret not buying this sooner as it would have been a great help! I am a happy owner and really enjoy this unit! I just wish I had bought one sooner, especially at this price point.

In de doos zaten twee gelijke aansluitkabels . Jammer het waren de verkeerde kabels voor mijn toestel. Nadat ik dit gemeld heb is de juisste kabel onmiddellijk opgestuurd. Ik heb het toestel kunnen stesten en het werkt goed.
