Posting a response so I can follow this thread in case my understanding is out of date -- but I believe Apple doesn't officially allow screen recording except while tethered to a Mac (where the screen recording is actually done), and all the apps out there require a jailbreaked device and/or use hacks that temporarily get around the restriction until Apple closes whichever security hole developers are leveraging.

I guess I'd also expect at least older phones to be overtaxed with both controlling the bird and streaming/recording video on top of screen recording? Happy to be proven wrong.

A USB cable tethering phone to computer running Quicktime is the preferred way, but obviously that won't work when you need the Mavic Remote plugged into the lightning port on your phone.

So the other way (w/o jailbraking your phone) is to use AirCast to send the iOS video to a computer and record it on the computer.  Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/record-iphone-screen/ and X-Mirage http://x-mirage.com/ are two apps you can run on a OSX machine to record your screen from an IOS device over wifi.

There is an app that records all the visuals you see on the screen instead of just the underlying footage.
I cant think of its name but i see a few YT users using it.

There's an app called vidyo which I used a couple of times. Unfortunately it eventually stops working as Apple 'unverifies' it after a few uses.

Not the easiest way probably, but I used a BlackMagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder connected to the RC HDMI port, and Thunderbolt cable to a Mac running a software encoder (Wirecast). It's the setup I use for camcorder recording. Worked very well. The recorder is < $200, Wirecast is about $500.

Or OBS for encoder should work, which is $0

I prefer to record my iPhone screen onto my PC so that I can enjoy the flight videos with a big display as well as share them with other people. I have a tool that will offer you a methods about how to record your iPhone screen onto your computer. It is  iOS Screen Recorder. This app enables you to mirror your iPhone or iPad videos onto PC or Mac. Besides, you can try its free trial version if you want to test this app.

You can mirror and record iPhone screen on your computer. If you do not want to download an extra program, you can use the Apple default solution - QuickTime.
