Tjee, I didn't know the KP has no IR remote control! Most Pentax SLR's have it. I use this all of the time with my K-1 on tripod and of course in particular when focus stacking of mushrooms pics in this time of the year. I bought another 10 euro Chinese shutter control because I always have troubles finding that small Pentax one in my pockets.

My KP has wifi for remote they even dumped the infrared remote in favour of
wifi. I never used wifi in the field. The android app of Pentax also sucks
to make it even worse.
For studio or tabletop work I would prefer tethered shooting which isnt
available on the KP.
The KP has a tilt screen and the main reason I got it.

We can't be sure of that just yet. With built-in WiFi and Bluetooth it's
certainly possible that there could be an app to give you live view on
ypur phone.  That would open up all sorts of possibilities; position your
camera near the waterhole/bird table/whatever (or anything that's taking
place where you don't actually want a photographer to be standing).
We already have Wifi with the Pentax O-something SD-card. The trouble is
that all these Wifi and Bluetooth links only have a reach of 5 or 6
meters at best. And not only with the K-3 but also with my Rico Theta V
and my Zoom H3-VR audio recorder.

I had high hopes and already saw myself taking photographs or making
audio recordings from the comfort of my car. No chance.
