I had been thinking of getting a BR-E1 Bluetooth Remote control for my EOS R6 mkII, since the new camera doesn't have an infra-red receiver to work with my IR remote.
Came across this:
https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/tripod-grip-hg-100tbr?color=Black&type=New
which is a tabletop tripod with the BR-E1 remote 'embedded' in one leg, removable so you can use it without the tripod.
The tripod folds and can be used as a handgrip. It's limited, it doesn't have a proper ball head, just a tilt and swivel head that has click-stop positions. But I've got my pocketable remote which is more convenient to use sometimes than my cellphone. And I can always use another tabletop tripod.

JoeySnaps,
I'd probably go with a full or table top tripod and canon connect. The BR-E1 might not offer the flexibility you could get with another set up. Up to you of course.
