Feature Request: Don’t Disable the Physical Joystick When Using Remote Monitor

I’ve been using the Luna Ultra to film full youth soccer games in 8K and overall I’m really happy with it. But there’s one thing that drives me nuts.

When I connect my iPhone as a remote monitor, the physical joystick on the camera is completely disabled. Everything has to be done with the virtual joystick in the app.

I honestly don’t understand why….

The phone isn’t replacing the camera, it’s just giving me a bigger screen to monitor the shot. I’m usually standing right next to the tripod the whole game, so it would make much more sense if both controls worked at the same time.

This becomes especially frustrating when I adjust the zoom during a match. After zooming, I usually need to make a tiny pan adjustment to re-center the field. That’s easy with the physical joystick, but really difficult to do smoothly with the virtual one. It’s much easier to overcorrect or introduce a little jerk into the shot.
I’d love to see the physical joystick stay active while remote monitoring. Let the app be an additional way to control the camera… not the only way.

Curious if anyone else has run into this or if it’s just me. Support folks, please add this to the list 🙏
