I looked into doing this a while back. Unfortunately, as of today it's not possible, as you've found. (Although, I'd love to be proved wrong....)
One of the app developers (Ultimate Flight) does document, in their flight school, an 'advanced mode' where the 'subject' has the iPad & RE in their possession. So, I believe those two need to be close to each other, if not the TX. Obviously, you're not going to see any data, so may want to set a conservative minimum battery level then trust it come home when it wants.
Ultimate Flight offers a (very nice) 'orbit' mode. You set the height, radius and 'speed' (more correctly the leading bearing) and it will keep the nose and gimbal focussed on the subject. I'm thinking of stashing the RE and a phone under the 'altar' outside at my sons wedding next month.
Cheers,
Ian
