Poor functionality with Nikon D810

oh my god I could never count on this mini camera to work stably with my Nikon D810. Connections usually work with my iPhone and iPad but they randomly lose connection and then I have to turn off the camera, close the app and restart. Bluetooth and other features are disabled on iPhone and iPad. To make matters worse, when I try to change the aperture via the CR app, 100% of the time I get an error screen saying the setting change could not be verified, which is just ridiculous. When you press the shutter, the aperture seems to change, but who wants to risk and waste time, by pressing OK and releasing the shutter if not changing it? Then with bracketing sometimes there won't be 2.0Ev3 snapshots, but there will be 5 snapshots. that might be what i'm missing, but i'm investigating now. Anyone else have this type of PF issues with D810 and Camranger Mini? Based on that first use, I was hoping it would work well, so I could justify buying the CR2 for Sony when it's available, but not now. Let's see if CR has a support hotline ready to help? Update will follow if I get consistently good performance. Maybe cactus triggers are the best solution for real estate photography? Let's see if CR has a support hotline ready to help?
