I have a Mini 1 and bought the MagiMask...... I know once flying you cant switch modes without taking off the headset... Is there a 3rd party remote that would work with the Mini 1 that would have a button to switch modes with??

It's no 3:rd party remote control for any of the DJI drone models & usually the different RC's from DJI aren't interchangeable between models either. So if you don't have a hardware mode switch on the RC ... that's it.

I have a Magimask that I occasionally use with my DJI Air 1 which have a lot of HW buttons on the RC so can manage most of the functions like take a photo, start/stop video & change mode directly from buttons ... but can't change exposure settings, need to reach the screen for that.

So tried with a small cheapo BT gamepad/rocker mouse ... & yeah, it worked but it was fiddly to use when going several steps down in the menu, so abandoned it & settled with only using the goggles for fun flying without photography tasks.

This was what I used ... will probably work ok if you just want to push a screen button located directly on the live view or maximum early in the menus.
