DJI Pocket 3 gets smarter: Mic Mini support and more

DJI has rolled out a fresh firmware update for Osmo Pocket 3, adding features that make this pocket-sized camera even more versatile. Designed for creators who demand high-quality results in a compact form, the Pocket 3’s latest enhancements focus on audio capabilities and usability.

One of the update’s standout features is the introduction of support for the new DJI Mic Mini. By simply holding the transmitter’s linking button for two seconds and navigating to the settings menu, users can connect up to two microphones simultaneously, including the DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini. This update also optimizes audio settings, ensuring stereo output even when only one mic is connected — a thoughtful touch for professional-grade sound recording.

The update introduces a customizable recording function. Creators can now choose whether to enable or disable the “Press and Hold Shutter/Record Button to Cancel Recording” feature, which is activated by default. Additionally, the DJI Mimo app sees improvements in background download capabilities, simplifying file management for content creators.

Beyond usability, DJI has refined the Pocket 3’s autofocus, ensuring smoother and faster tracking of subjects. Combined with its 1-inch CMOS sensor and a rotatable 2-inch touchscreen, these enhancements solidify the Pocket 3 as a vlogging favorite, delivering crisp 4K footage and dynamic stabilization.

This firmware release follows an earlier update that introduced 4K streaming support via USB Video Class (UVC), making the Pocket 3 a viable option for live-streaming. Features like FPV gimbal mode and advanced auto-power-off options continue to showcase DJI’s commitment to user-friendly innovation.

Updating the Pocket 3 is straightforward via the DJI Mimo app, though users should ensure both the app and device firmware are up-to-date for seamless integration. If issues arise, restarting the app and device or contacting DJI Support can resolve most concerns.
