I own an EOS R....and now a Google Pixel 6.
I have a Vello remote trigger that i love and use frequently...however, using a phone app would intrigue me if I could also use it to select the focus point. Also when I do landscapes and the camera is low to the ground with the tripod legs splayed flat (to get a puddle reflection or long exposure on a windy day) it would be nice to change camera settings from a phone rather than having to bend down to get ground level in mud or puddle to use the rear camera display...(yeah I'm almost 60)
I too have heard less than glowing reviews of Canon free software so I might pay for something better, just as I never liked their DPP software and didn't mind paying for Lightroom. Interestingly enough the more recent reviews seem to be the more unfavorable ones. I wonder if it because it is old and not updated to work well in more up-to-date versions of android.
Does anyone use another android phone app for remote trigger? Has anyone gone on a similar journey searching for a good android phone app?
