Livestream to Instagram from a DJI Drone - SOLVED!

S-O-L-V-E-D: Live-streaming on Instagram from DJI Drone Remote Controllers has not been possible due to the secure protocol that Instagram uses... In this tutorial, we solve the problem and show you how. We start with a high level overview. We then provide information on which controllers are compatible. Next we show setting up Instagram, Restream and the Controller step-by-step. We conclude with information on what you need to change for subsequent livestreams on Instagram, our mic test and additional information.

The method we've developed utilizes an Intermediary to convert the stream so that it is usable by Instagram. We researched over a dozen services and found a Free service that does exactly what we need. Restream (link below) also offers other benefits including Multicasting (simulcasting) to multiple social media channels from a single stream.
