Hi all
Been experimenting with the Epson BT-300 and casting DJI Fly from an android device (Samsung S8) without both devices being connected to wi-fi network (internet)
This solution allows you to have only the BT-300 glasses/ controller box and your phone in the field using the mobile hotspot from the phone/tablet to connect them
It will allow you to see the camera view from DJI Fly so you can fly both the Mavic Air 2 and the Mavic Mini using the glasses with acceptable latency.
Much simpler solution than using ATV and extra battery packs etc.
Here are the steps to setting it up.
1) Download and install Apowermirror apk onto the Epson BT-300, I used apkpure.com via the BT-300 internal browser
2) Download and install Apowermirror on your phone/tablet from the google play store
3) Set up a mobile hotspot on your phone / tablet and turn it on
4) Turn off wi-fi on your phone/tablet and turn off mobile data as well.
5) On the Epson BT-300 go into wi-fi settings and connect to your phone/ tablet hotspot (usually called "Android AP")
6) On the Epson BT-300 open up Apowermirror
7) On the phone/tablet open up Apowermirror and tap the cast button, you should see it search and then find the Epson BT-300 as device, tap on it to select it
8) Power up the MM connect it to the RC and phone etc. and run the DJI Fly app
This can be done at anytime as your merely mirroring the screen
9) You should then see the phone/tablet mirrored to the BT-300, so when your in DJI Fly camera view you'll see the whole flight screen as a massive 80in screen in the sky.
Testing so far

Testing so far
- Will allow Mavic Air 2 and Mavic Mini pilots to use the Epson BT-300 glasses
- Latency in testing is good with no significant delay in the video feed to the Epson bt-300
- Haven't had much interference issues affecting the mobile hotspot as the both devices are so close together
- Not sure if the solution is using the cellular link on the phone, but as you have turned off mobile data it should not have an impact
- Still have to look down at the phone/tablet screen to make DJI Fly changes
- Works with Litchi Beta (Mavic Mini support) running on a android phone/tablet as your just mirroring the screen
- Wireless casting to the BT-300 should work with the CS using Dronelink, but I don't like this app for free flight
