I use this wireless remote and it's great:

Remote control for Z8 and Z9
NOT snapbridge - What remote do you use - for long exposure photography? I am looking for an external remote - if you have any recommendations please?

It depends on what you’re looking for. I used the Nikon MC 30A wired remote release when I shot the solar eclipse on my Z9. Pretty basic, but worked great.

I also use this remote (have 2 of them) and highly recommend it.

I've had that Vello for a long time. It worked for my D4, D4s, D5, D850 and Z9. Never tried it with the Z72.
Vello works well for me!
I’ve had my Nikon MC-30A from back when I owned a D800 and a D3S. It still works great with my Z8 and Z9.
You're certainly not using that as a remote shutter release....

So what am I doing now then. in this video below you can even hear the shutter working, hit wrong key should have been posted as a 3 pole cable end

I use this wired remote cable from Vello. Used it first with my D500 and on the Z8 when that came. Connects to the 10pin socket on the left front of the camera. Simple shutter release cable. Does not do anything else. I use it primarily to start/ stop video eliminating camera shake. I needed to "map" my video start button to the shutter release button.
The original vello website does not seem to load these days - so maybe this product is no longer being produced, hence the B&H link.
Ive used this one for the last couple of years and it's been awesome.

I too have and like this very much. I have the Korean version (SMDV RFN-4s), I believe they are the manufacturer. It is available from Amazon for less $.
