okay so I am honestly so fed up with the Canon Camera Connect app like it is literally the most frustrating piece of software I have ever had the misfortune of using on my phone. Every single time I try to set up a long exposure for some night shots it just drops the connection right when the shutter is supposed to click or it lags so hard that I miss the timing entirely and its just... ugh. I am getting so excited to finally get some decent milky way shots when I head out to Glacier National Park in three weeks but I know if I rely on that app I am gonna end up throwing my phone into a canyon.

So I was thinking maybe I should just go old school and get a physical remote but I am stuck on which one actually plays nice with the 90D specifically. My logic was that a wired one like the RS-60E3 would be the most reliable because there is no signal to drop right? But then I started worrying about accidentally bumping the cord and causing motion blur which would totally defeat the purpose of using a remote in the first place. Then I looked at the BR-E1 bluetooth remote and I got all hyped because its official Canon gear but I keep reading mixed reviews about the pairing process being a total nightmare and honestly I just want something that works the first time every time.

I have about 80 bucks set aside for this which I feel like should be enough for something that doesnt feel like a cheap plastic toy? I looked at some third party intervalometers too because I kinda want to try doing some time-lapse stuff while I am out there but I dont want to buy another piece of junk that breaks after two uses. Does anyone actually use a specific remote with their 90D that they swear by? I need something that wont fail me when it is 30 degrees outside and I am in the middle of nowhere...
