How to use DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as webcam (plus caveats)

A quick demonstration showing how to use your Osmo Pocket 3 as a computer webcam. You can download and update your Pocket 3's firmware through the DJI Mimo app to unlock the 1080p 50/60fps setting, but it doesn't seem to be working as intended right now.

Can I use 2 Osmo pockets with the same pc at the same time? Like in OBS maybe?

[@captureguide]

Yeah, you can have multiple video input sources (e.g. webcams) in OBS. The only potential issue is hitting USB bandwidth limits, which is likely if you're using a USB hub.

Can I use the mimo app while using webcam mode?

[@captureguide]

Unfortunately you can't. I just tried it and on the Mimo App I got a screen with the following message: "Camera in webcam mode. Unable to use app"

Can i use mic2 in this scenario

[@captureguide]

Good question! Yes you can. When the Osmo Pocket 3 is connected to your computer, "Capture Input terminal (OsmoPocket3) will become an audio input source that you can select from your OS. If you have your DJI Mic 2 (or any other mic connected to your Pocket 3), it will use that mic. You can of course use it for video, but it will also make the Mic 2 usable as a standalone audio recording device in applications like Audacity as well.

Hey Is the heating in camera mode very annoying? How many hours can it be used?

[@captureguide]

Hi, I haven't had any heating problems in 1080p, and I also haven't heard any reports of overheating in webcam mode or in general. It can get warm but not as hot as some other webcams I've used. So you should be able to use it in webcam mode for as long as you like.@@KostiVLOG
