I just tried Chromecasting from my phone (droid-- I guess this method doesn't work for iOS) to the living room TV. It worked !!! --- But I need to do better tests with the TV outside and close to the remote/sending phone.

ARE YOU USING APPLE TV 4TH GEN ? AND MY PICTURE IS VERY CLEAR LIKE THE MAVIC SEE’S IT

Yup. That's the one I have.
Even if I just rotate the camera up/down, the image is not smooth on the TV screen, but it is on my iPhone 7+.

Don't get me wrong, if you want to show a friend or family member what you see on your phone screen, it's perfectly fine. It is a clear image. However, other than that it wasn't great quality in my test as it lags the phone screen in time and video refresh. YMMV.

On my keyboard the Caps Lock key is to the left of the "A". I know you didn't ask, but just in case...

Very interesting thread.

OK all tested and works well, after some more research I found that I must use an AC router and run it at 5ghz , so I bought a netgear 2300 works very well, I now have no lag, Router , Apple TV all attached to the back of the the TV and runs well off my inverter. the whole set up is 12 lbs,
I will show a couple pics if anybody is interested.
My previous attemps I was trying an outdated router and then trying to use those pocket routers off amazon, no go.

Thanks, @Pixar. That's good to know.

So, when you watch the video on your screen, and the camera pans, it happens as smooth on your television as it does on your phone/tablet that is attached to the controller?

correct, it also depends on the prosser on the ipad as well, my pro and air are great just a tad slower on the mini 4 however I have not tested it with the RJ45 6 cable yet , just installed that yesterday, that way I have a direct connect from router to apple tv 4K , this should be fun

I have been using Apple TV to stream mavic footage for a while.

I built a 22" monitor and all necessary accessories into a single waterproof pelican case for the fire department. It has its own wireless router, Apple TV, and inverter.

I find the feed is sometimes ultra smooth and non glitchy. Other times the monitor sort of freezes for a period of time. I cannot isolate why or how...but it works really well for our application.

I am slightly annoyed that iPad screen will not use the full screen on the monitor.....however iPhone does.

Very Nice, however check the chip speed on the regular apple TV compare to Apple TV 4K
I also have found that my Ipad 4 mini will not work as well as the Ipad Air or the ipad 12.9 (streaming to thru router and apple 4K )
Anyways we are on the same wave length ! great Job !

Can't you use Air Play through Apple TV, if you don't wander too far away?

This is the way I do it. Was able to set up my TV outside at my camper, I can say no one complained about the drone flying around while the drank beer and watched the big screen lol
