A little top tip here: If you enabled "background streaming" under "Streams" in Moblins settings, you can even send Moblin to the background and use your iPhone for other things or turn the iPhone screen off. Moblin only freezes the camera feed for internal cameras. Not for incoming RTMP streams and screen recordings.
Great tutorial! I’ve found that camera stutters pretty badly on RTMP when tracking is on - don’t suppose you know of any fix in settings for that, currently I’m just dealing with it but would be nice to use the feature
Great instructions, I had to pause a few times to set mine up. However, I can't get it to work, I keep getting a wifi setup error, can't connect to op3, check wifi settings. I can't seem to figure out the one little thing I messed up on.
Try and see, if you can connect using Mimo. The Pocket 3 doesn't like certain 5 GHz channels, so if your Personal Hotspot or whatever wifi router you are using is on those, it won't connect. If it connects with Mimo, it will connect with DJI camera control in Moblin, too.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual I know it works on mimo, I used it this weekend while camping and sending the rtmp to belabox. I will see if my home wifi is messing with it, or some other signal
I can't figure this thing out, I keep getting fail to set up wifi after clicking on Start Live Stream, I set up my action 4 and pocket 3 and get the same error. It is something in the wifi, but I can't figure out what the problem is. It acts like it is trying to connect from the app to the camera, but always fails at setting up wifi.
@@powerkarma Are you using the "Personal Hotspot" on the iPhone ? If so, jump out of Moblin, just before you start the connection of the Pocket 3, disable Personal Hotspot, re-enable it again, then jump back into Moblin and connect the camera. That can make all the difference. Generally, I recommend to use an external wifi access point, like the GL.inet ones, for your wifi. That way, it can also add another internet connection to your stream.
First make sure, that you can connect using DJI Mimo. Just to make sure, that your wifi router or personal hotspot (whatever you are using) isn't on a frequency, that doesn't work. When that works, check the IPs in the RTMP server setup of Moblin. There are little logos in front of each. Use the one with the Personal Hotspot one (2 rings) if you use Personal Hotspot or the Wifi one (wifi logo) if you are using a wireless AP/router.
@@tek_soup And if you use the Personal Hotspot method, like demonstrated in my video, make sure to jump out of Moblin and disable/enable Personal Hotspot before you connect. Personal Hotspot in iOS is a bit like that. It sometimes refuses the connections, unless you kick it.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual yeh, i think i did that by accident, i did get it working briefly, then i moved out of it, to export, the settings option, and by time i came back, quit working. you have a video, on how to setup, with my home wifi? that would be better, im just testing, and if i was to go live, i guess i would get a small mobile router/access point. im just learning this, thanks.
@@tek_soup Same process. Just give it the credentials of the local wifi access point and connect your iPhone to that, too. Then use the IP, that's marked as wifi IP.
You can either let the DJI device auto-switch the audio (there is a toggle, that I show in the video) or you can toggle it yourself. The little microphone icon/button in the sidebar lets you choose, where the audio comes from.
I am bonded over star link and Verizon so it is going over the star link WiFi. When i turn on the hotspot on my phone and do it the same way you did. I still have the same problem
@@rickperdue4748 You can't use the Personal Hotspot of the iPhone, if you're using the wifi for data. You should tell Moblin to connect the DJI camera to the Starlink Wifi instead and use the correct IP for the camera to connect to the iPhone that way.
The weakest link is still the wifi connection between the Pocket 3 and your mobile.. This is a problem, especially if you're using it in cities where thre are miltiple wifi signals floating around.
Even for that, Moblin has a solution. IF you're using an iPad with a USB-C port ... (and an iPad Mini is actually pretty compact), Moblin can use the Osmo Pocket 3 (and the Osmo Action 4) as UVC camera ... using a cable !! This does not work on iPhones and Apple devices with Lightning ports unfortunately, but that's not Moblins fault. That's simply Apple not supporting it on anything else but USB-C iPads.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual DJI should impiment a better system for live streaming besides RTMP via WIFI to their app on another device period. RTMP is old. I personally don't wish to invest in Apple period.
Hey dude great video, do you have any issue with the cam disconnecting from the hotspot ? The guys on the Moblin discord told me iphone hotspots are unrelivable and drop out....
I used the personal hotspot in the video for ease, but an external router / access point is always a better plan. a) you loose your wifi as one of your internet sources, when you use it as personal hotspot. b) you will also have issues with modems connected via bluetooth, when personal hotspot is enabled. b) an external router/access point will have better antennas and will be more stable.
How does the tutorial work with an external mobile router if you’re not using the iPhone hotspot to connect the Op3? Does this router first need to provide a hotspot to the iPhone and then for example, do I need to enter the SSID and password of the router, like a Netgear M4, in Moblin and then it will work?
I turned on my personal hotspot on my iPhone 15pro and connected it to my pocket 3 so live was possible. (Also I'm using unlimited 5g with individual wifi modems) But I don't have unlimited personal hotspot data. If I keep connecting my pocket 3 with hotspot, I won't be able to use it later because of my hotspot data limitation???
There is not. The nearest you get to it is either IRL Pro (which can not take an inbound RTMP) or Prism (which can take an inbound RTMP feed, but can't do bonding and said RTMP feed is max 720p)
Moblin can show chat on the screen, so you only need to use the chat phone, when you want to type in chat. And my Osmo Pocket 3 is on a Peak Design Capture on my backpack shoulder strap, so I am not holding that either.
Thank you for the reply, sir. Last time I used Moblin I was going SRTA to a cloud server and then to TH-cam. I was bonding several modems. I wasn’t getting any TH-cam comments because I wasn’t going directly to them from Moblin. Has that now changed and you can receive TH-cam comments? Many thanks in advance for all the hard work you put into your content.
Also, sorry one last comment, have you seen the new converter from Unlimited IRL that converts USB-C into HDMI? Including audio. I have a liveu set up now and that would just be a dream.
@@LePubPattaya You might want to have a watch of this: th-cam.com/video/dE8iM3_kYy0/w-d-xo.html . It was always possible with Moblin, but it's not obvious.
If you have questions in regards to Moblin, you can join the Moblin Discord server and ask there. Lots of tech savvy peeps on there including myself and helping out, when we can. The link for the Discord server can be found on Moblins Github page at: github.com/eerimoq/moblin
That's another great feature of Moblin. Thanks for sharing! My GoPro 10 can only push 5000 and it's not enough for certain situations. I'm guessing this works with Dji Osmo Action 4 the same way as Pocket 3. Maybe it's worth an upgrade to OA4 as they are a bit cheaper now that OA5 came out.
DJI camera control in Moblin currently supports the DJI Osmo Action 3, Action 4 and Pocket 3. Spillmaker is working on Action 5 Pro, but it's a bit more difficult, so not working yet.
We may have a fix before DJI actually gets their act together. Once Spillmaker gets the DJI camera control to work in X-IRL and Moblin, we will likely have higher bitrates. The current max of 3000 Kbps for RTMP is not great.

Tracking and RTMP are not a happy combination in general. That's something DJI needs to fix in firmware, if it ever gets fixed.
I don't know what happen but when I do that the image has fps drops, or a little bit of lagging like micro cuts. I don't know if is me, or Moblin
Since I do it like this, the screen gets cut off
Moblin got an update today, should be much better :D And if not perfect, I blame DJI! :hehe

Your DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is only streaming to Moblin (locally) not out of your data connection.
Moblin (the app) is sending the final stream.

is there any android version?
