Id echo what Belch says about the rear wheels, i got a set of the barrow buddies and they are so heavy - probably ok if you are on flat terrain but i found that as i kept having to take the weight to counter the whole barrow tipping over on uneven ground. In reality, if you can fit all the kit you want to take onto a porter light do the wheel conversion first and see how you do - the BB rear wheels will make it a real b1tch to push id imagine

in reply to my own question... i have a few apps with programable timer, usually you have to start the countdown timer by touching the phone, so the bluetooth trigger (starting the countdown without leaving the fish) sounded a good idea. I bought a cheapy one from amazon and have found that:
(on my android (google pixel)
Sensory voiceselfie app - doesnt work
Lens buddy - doesnt work
Open Camera - works well!

Do the Bluetooth remotes work to activate app that is open or just straight to standard camera?

I've used an advanta waterbox type thing, 30 odd quid, fits all my tackle and hookbaits.
Can fish off the barrow or makes a table next to the bed. Sits on the extension with the shoulder strap over the upright.... It's perfect!

Standard size fits a duralite well, the compact is too small for almost every bedchair & medium sized blokes
