DJI Osmo Pocket 3 with its touchscreen rotated to landscape

Overview

The Osmo Pocket 3 puts a 1-inch CMOS sensor on a mechanical 3-axis gimbal in a handheld body. Rotating the 2-inch touchscreen powers the camera on and switches between horizontal and vertical shooting.[1]

It has no built-in storage, so footage goes on a microSD card. It is not water resistant, so keep it away from rain, splashes and sand.[1]

Getting started

  1. Insert a microSD card

    The Pocket 3 records only to a microSD card rated UHS-I Speed Grade 3. To remove the card, gently push it in so it partially ejects.[1]

  2. Power on

    Rotate the touchscreen clockwise or press the Shutter/Record button. To power off, rotate the screen counterclockwise or hold the Shutter/Record button for one second.[1]

  3. Connect to DJI Mimo

    DJI requires activation in DJI Mimo before first use. Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your phone, open DJI Mimo, tap to connect to the camera and follow the steps. If the app offers a firmware update, make sure the battery is above 15% first.[1]

  4. Charge

    Use the included USB-C cable and a USB-C Power Delivery charger on the port at the bottom of the camera. If a handle is attached, charge through the USB-C port on the handle instead.[1]

    Before shooting anything important, record a short test clip to confirm everything works.

Troubleshooting

The camera stops recording and feels hot
  1. The camera stops shooting when it overheats. Let it cool down before continuing.
  2. Do not cover or hold the ventilation area while recording.

The gimbal behaves strangely or will not move freely
  1. Make sure nothing is blocking the gimbal when you power on.
  2. Avoid adjusting the axis lock by hand often; it can make the lock malfunction.
  3. Do not mount the camera on motorcycle or bike handlebars. Strong vibration can damage the camera system and gimbal.

  2. If a transfer stops part-way, reconnect the camera.
