That sounds like a great set up Chris; it seems that there are many roads to Rome.
The additional functionality provided by these add-on devices can be quite useful for certain shooting situations and projects, whether wired or Wi-Fi, although the “burden” of an extra app and HW can be a bit tedious.
I understand that more recent models such as the Canon 6D have built-in Wi-Fi and GPS as do some of the Nikon DSLRs, whose range I am not familiar with. I would also expect that Android and iPad apps to have a nicer user interface than the OEM interface on the DSLR itself?
I do remember playing with onOne’s DSLR Camera Remote some while ago which required a Windows PC to act as a server for the Wi-Fi capability. It took me a little while to figure out the difference between my Router’s Wi-Fi function and that of creating a (remote) ad-hoc Wi-Fi Network on the Laptop when I was not connected to the Router. A wired connection would have been nice then!
Cheers
