Many thanks, I'll give that a try.

:) Ah, now I know why, I shouldn't fly the drone while standing on my head ............ :) I'm not sure why it happens to be honest, I have the controller hooked up to a strap/lanyard around my neck so it's at about waist level, but despite me not tilting it much the screen flips from time...

Despite my smartphone being set not to auto rotate the display when the phone is rotated, I often find that when I'm moving around the Fly app inverts (which I can of course revert by making sure the phone/controller is held specifically at the correct angle). Is there a way to prevent the Fly...

I wonder what the nits are for the new controller that can be bundled with the new Mini 3.

Wouldn't surprise me! Is there an alternative to DJI Fly which will display map and position live in local data mode?

It's a Motorola G60S, this model: https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g60s-11047.php 64 Bit CPU but the Android version is 32 Bit. Since getting my drone a week or so ago I've flown it for about 5 hours using that phone and DJI Fly hasn't crashed, frozen, etc. Not yet anyway! :) (I just...

Thanks for all of the great suggestions and advice, that's really useful.

Okay then, how about not cheap but bright? :)

Exactly, which is why I am puzzled why it's not shown when local data mode is on.

My Motorola smartphone's display isn't great under bright sunshine, even a shade over it doesn't help much. Because of this I'm thinking of buying an Android tablet that can be seen clearly in direct sunlight (if there is such a thing) - it doesn't have to be a new model, I'm even fine buying...

True, but if the system is offline the flight log can't be uploaded so there's no privacy concerns there. Besides which, the flight log could always be deleted if required. It just seems a bit over the top to not show the map.

When local data mode is on I don't understand why the map vanishes - when using my smartphone for other things I can, for example, use Google Maps and see my location pinpointed via GPS even though I have my data connection turned off and no WiFi in the area. So why won't DJI Fly show a map when...

Excellent find, thank you. I don't have a 3D printer but I'll look for somebody online to do a print. :) (I'll definitely tip the designer too).

Thanks for that, found it now. :)

Great idea, thanks! Also, with a micro SD card in the slot that will help a bit to keep out any unwanted water or dust/dirt.
