Hi! You could actually DIY it with an ordinary inexpensive china-made VR glasses for smartphone (prefer ones with AR=augmented reality capabilities, i.e. option to open backside of your phone with primary camera(s), as far as FPV mode in FF6 has an option to change the view and see through the cam of your phone what exactly is going on) or even Cardboard VR. Parrot FreeFlight 6 app in FPV mode just uses areas in corners and sides of a phone's touchscreen as buttons - they're pushed with pogo-sticks of conductive rubber integrated in CockpitGlasses 3. You could use conductive rubber or something else electroconductive either and do this mod. Just look it up in youtube or switch your FF6 app to FPV mode and try it yourself to find out that areas. BTW, Anafi RC Skycontroller 3 has so few controls that it doesn't worth it to change their functions (and it's not as easy).
Here you go:
In last video of four there is a good example of reflective decals (3M Scotchlite 3150 or something alike) stuck to Anafi's battery, arms and fuselage. This is good practice to place these on every small drone or RC plane in case it will suddenly lose control, crash or land down out of your sight. With light-reflective decals you significantly rise your chances to find it then, even in the dark (after sunset). The other thing for search your lost models and drones - is miniatured radio beacon with individual power source, duct-taped or integrated into your drone, used with UHF pocket radio or dedicated receiver. There are several models on market, with range up to few miles. No cell phone network signal nor SIM card needed, just civil band UHF radio and optional GPS data (also works without GPS). When you're close enough, this beacon also starts to beep and flash, even when a drone's flight battery fell off. Check it up if you like: tbeacon.org iruntheflight.com (different types of search radio beacons and their manufacturers), RC Finder Beacon: Digital vs Analog (independent project),
