Very user friendly and easy to use. Osmo lost a lot of customers with their issues! Keep up the great work! Brian

    Just come across your video and we could have been watching us (John & Kay in Swansea, South Wales UK)!!! Absolutely step by step, we experienced the same problems.
    We cannot use the MIMO app at all however, we can however use the LightCut app (also recommended by DJI). We both have android phones but one is a Nokia G10 and one is a Ulephone. We had to clear some memory for the app to work, something it tells you when logging on (make sure you have sufficient memory)
    John has experienced the exact same problem with the wireless receiver adapter that he recently bought. It's going back tomorrow. We use the SmallRig camera case which is excellent and fits the Action 3 perfectly. Like you, we didn't like the fit of the adapter in the side and also experienced no sound.
    Its an absolute minefield, we have trawled through sooooo many youtube videos, as you so rightly say, no-one else has mentioned these problems. I don't know if its an age thing? We are both in our 60's and also don't want to have to upgrade our phones etc.
    I much prefer to edit videos on my laptop so I am currently researching the best beginners software program.
    Looking forward to seeing your other videos:)
    Best wishes
    Kay & John

    I've been thinking about the Osmo Action 3. I've owned a brilliant Sony Action Cam which I use for motorcycling and skiing, but it's getting old although still extremely reliable. All my friends have GO PROS and they seem to be incredibly unreliable despite the premium price. Your video is great Dave but when, oh when, os one of these manufactures going to make a camera that doesn't stuff users around from the day you receive and open them. If they get that right and a simple, glue on, flexible but strong, helmet mount they will completely dominate the motorcycle market for these products. Thanks again for all your efforts.

    Geez, and to think I almost bought that same camera, but, I went ahead and bought the GoPro 10 instead…and, the ONLY reason I did was bc the 10 has viewing capabilities front and back [like the iPhone I use] in case I wanted to use the camera like you are in this video for positioning myself in the frame. I already had the GoPro 7 and was perfectly happy with that one. So, I suppose NOW I’ll use both of them when I go back on the road. With all the camera gear, adaptors, accessories, etc I have I plan to record my butt off! 😂 Great video, Dave! ~Jim~

If you have the mimo app open will will display the camera image.. It talk me some time to learn to connect but once connected never had any problems.. Saying that I am learning to find out best setting for image quality.. Wish you well

    There are two different kinds of adapters, a TRS and a TRRS, I think the Action 3 needs a TRRS.

I know for a fact the apple usb-c to 3.5 adapter works. But have not tried others.

    Yeah, the activation thing got me too, and the app they provided refused to install altogether on a brand new Samsung Galaxy A13 running Android 13 ! Only option here was to find a friend with an iphone ! Hardware shouldn't require compulsory activation. Another huge road block awaits if you have Win10, and want to edit footage. Video editors won't mount HEVC video files, so you have to choose H.264 (compatibility mode) on the camera, which rules out D-Cine-like color profile, 10 bit color, and any framerate over 30 FPS, which seriously reduces the quality / usefulness of the camera.

    Okay, so I want to make sure. It sounds like the customer service rep was incorrect in their assessment that you needed to ship the phone back to them.
    If that's the case, then what's the point of "5 skips or you're out?" Does it mean you can only use the camera 5 times without registering it?
    Does this camera force you to be paired to the app at all times after you're registered? Is there a way of registering this device without connecting to the app? Seems fishy to me.

    I forgot something on my comment here on this video, did you use the cord that came with the dji mic system that was in the box? That should work. Mount the receiver on the cold shoe, and then plug in the same cord they gave you in the box, try that, don't use someone else's cord. and by the way I had a hell of a time activating mine too. Mine was really weird, I never had to use the scanned code. It took me at least three hours to activate my camera, then after all that, I start seeing youtube videos about focus issues after doing all my research on how great this camera is. Now after having the camera for a month, all videos on CZcams are saying the same thing. I don't really see a focus issue on mine, but then again I have bad eyes, I really need glasses. Maybe they are right, and I can't really see the out of focus. That worries me a bit. I don't want to get involved in sending this thing back, i'm afraid they would say you had it past the thirty days. But youtube people are all over this out of focus thing. But what is strange is, most all complaints are from the UK. Doesn't that seem odd? I never hear anyone from the US talking about this issue. Again thanks for your kind video! Maybe China really does like USA.

      Unless the mic came with a second cord that I have forgotten about yes I did use that cord along with an adaptor cord to get to the usb style port on the Action 3. Bummer you had issues to, at least you finally got yours to hook up. I personally don't see any focus issues with mine but my computer is so old IT needs glasses LOL!! I am in the middle of shooting sample video's with it, my original Osmo an my DJI Pocket to put together a video and that should be fun to see what comments I get. I don't have the gadgets others do to have them all mounted together so thats a challenge for me and I have to figure out how to put all three on the same clip in my editing software but I will put something together, how good I don't know LOL!! Thanks for chiming back in.

    I had to go to a samsung store to download it as my alcatel didnt work even though it was an android 11. Absolute daft that you need to activate with a QR code (guess they are trying to make them retail theft proof). I had a gopro 3 a few years back and it was ready to go, just turn it on!!! Its quite concerning that the power cable outlet opens easily even when the protective frame case is on, can imagine you might knock it open whilst diving...

    I have the same microphone issues - stupid design flaws from DJI - the microphone adapter from from the action 1 gives you simple clear microphone input via TRS-jack and an usb-c charge input (that is the way I use it). Now with the action 3 DJI made it easer at first (you do not need an adapter) - a simple cable from female trs-jack to usb-c male is working - but you can not charge at the same time - WTF DJI WHY? And no all the splitter cables I tried that have power in via USB-C (even PD) do work for charging of using microphone - but noth both. My idea was to have a single usb-cable coming from the action 3 going into my stearing bag where I than do the splitting and connecting - I will cost you a lot of different cables in return for no real solution - I hope DJI can fix this in a firmware update

      when I received it and connected, the first thing I did was update to the newest firmware.
      I am returning it due to the 9/22 mfg focus issue....later runs did not have the issue. I reordered another one ...this time the adventure combo...... for the xtra $100, you get a stick, two batteries, two magnet clips and charger...... if you buy those items separate, you are well above $200.

    This is very frustrating. I've been messing with my Nimo app, yes, it has my AO1 on it, only to find out that it will not support a 2nd camera, thus will not accept my new AO3.
    I read somewhere that you can download the Nimo app from DJI from a computer, so I'll try that tomorrow.
    I'm already in $$$ on the Smallrig cage, filters, screen protectors, etc.
    But wow, what a huge P.I.A.!
    I'm exhausted. I have many standard jack mics, I do not want to invest on any more mics. I wish an updated Cynova type of jack was out there for this camera.
    I use that on my AO1 along with either a power pack or car charger to keep the camera rolling without having to do battery changes. Plus have an external mic plugged into it. Dual purpose.
    The advancement or regression of technogy? Pick your poison. 🤯
    Thanks for sharing your experiences! 👍

      It really is a pain. I'm not very techy so it makes it even worse. I have a stand alone external power pack that I use as well, makes it very nice. In fact I need to check it because we start heading south on Saturday and we will have 4 long travel days.

      ​@@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707I ended up having to uninstall the Mimo app to remove my AO1,then reinstall to activate the AO3. It's a shame that multiple cameras can not be used.
      I guess the only reason that I would use the app would be for livestreams. Which I don't do anyhow.
      Or updates, which at this point in time, I don't think there would be any for the AO1 anymore.
      Happy travels!!

    You have to go in the camera settings WiFi and switch from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. Or if that not work again Go to WiFi settings and you will see the WiFi password for the camera.After that Go to your phone find the osmo action network and put the password there you go.

    Great video thanks and subscribed. Waiting for my camera but from the research I have done it seems that this is the extension needed for audio. (BOYA BY-K6 3.5mm TRS (Female) to Type-C Audio Adapter). The mic part of the Action 3 is confusing me. With the DJI mic setup do you actually need an adapter? Also, does the dji transmitter have to be plugged into the camera or will it work remotely. DJI seem very quiet regarding compatibility on the microphone side. Great video thanks.

    • @daveanddianethrowingcautio5707
      @daveanddianethrowingcautio5707  Před rokem +2

      Yes, I did end up with the Boya BY-K6 and it does in fact work. And yes, to use the DJI wireless mic with the Action 3 you will need an adaptor. For the DJI Wireless system the reciever needs to be plugged in to the camera but the transmitters do not. Once you get your camera and get it set up I'm sure you will enjoy it.

    Hey my friend, just wondering how your making out with this problem.....I commented about the cage I use and the connection issue on samsung 22ultra. After going back and forth Idno how many times we came to the conclusion that they needed to make a firmware update because the osmo will not connect to my Samsung phone, but I got it to connect to my samsung Tablet.....so since our last interaction thats what I have been using. If you are not too busy and Im not a bother, how are you making out? Thanks Clinton

      @daveanddianethrowingcautio5707  Před rokem +2

    Rule nr 1 is never use Samsung with DJI apps! And I think Samsung is the problem, not DJI since Samsung have a lot of bloatware on their phones.
    I actually had to buy a new phone when I bought my first drone, but didn't regret since I had a really old phone before.
    I can recommend people having questions to go to DJI forum, since everything have been answered there.

      You are most likely correct on it being a Samsung problem more than a DJI issue. I had some issues with my current drone as well and Samsung. I'm just happy everything is working properly now. Thanks for stopping in.
