I use an old-school cable release. Perfect for the large majority of what I do. For anything not easily done with the cable release, I use my iPhone with the Cascables app (free version). It works much better and has much more functionality than the Fuji app.
Unless I hear a better suggestion soon, I'm likely to use the "old-school cable release." I have at least one, and I could pick up a newer, good one for not too much money.
I've used the Fujifilm iPhone app, and it seems to work well once I get everything configured. The issue here, though, is that in the specific circumstances in which I'm most likely to want to use the remote release with my Fujifilm system I also do not want to deal with the smartphone.
(Explanation: A large portion of my photography is landscape work, done with a non-Fujifilm system and working from the tripod. I'm often on foot and sometimes in the backcountry for days or even more than a week, in places where the smart phone is pretty much dead weight. On a few occasions I have taken the smaller and lighter Fujifilm system with a smaller tripod in order to save weight, but the L-bracket design for Fujifilm doesn't allow enough room for the cabled release attachment when the camera is in portrait mode.)
What would be ideal, I think, would be a small, dedicated wireless remote of some sort.

Thanks. I've heard of this. Can you share your experience with it?
And, unfortunately, adding the receiver to the camera would seem to create two problems. One, the device (transmitter and receiver) start to be as large as a smartphone. Two, from the pictures it appears that the receiver's plug would still run afoul of my L-bracket.
Thanks,
Dan
