Hi George,
Welcome, whereabouts in Brissie are you, we fly every weekend over the bay around Redland Bay and have a fair mixture of all of the Mavic variants, you are most welcome to come and try and say hi.
Im with you, a great addition and as an ex Typhoon pilot I love the integrated system, my tip for failing eyesight was to purchase a set of Epson Moverio glasses, these plug directly into the HDMI socket and give me a semi transparent heads up display with info I can actually read.
