Unboxing DJI Osmo Bluetooth Remote.  

Glad it helped 😊 thanks for taking time to leave a feedback.

Thanks! 😊 I haven’t personally searched for the overlay tutorials but I can possibly put something together. I have lots of footage captured using remote during my trips. But from reading I understand that you need to do it from the Mimo app.

Glad I could help 😊👍

Yes I think a lot of people will buy the remote if the timer can be set over 30mins. Thanks for taking time to comment 👍😊

Yes. Submit customer feedback with this request. I’ve submitted it 3 times with different emails so far 😁 if we all do this they will consider a feature update.

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!! Mine times out after about 5 minutes and its driving me nuts!!!

@@ninerpeak any updates on this?

No, it is still 30 mins

Not noticeable. Still got about same time that I used to get without the remote. I wish they make that 30 min time configurable up to 2 hours.

Hi, the 30 min timer resets every time the camera shuts down so if you record 15 seconds at 25th minute. You will reset the Bluetooth connection timer for another 30 mins. I have been trying to figure out if there’s a way to extend it another 30 mins by pressing any button on the remote but it seems to be a camera config. The camera shuts down its own Bluetooth and the remote goes to connecting screen.

I have been on a day long ride with this remote yet but not a multiday. The remote lasted whole day. I can say for sure that it can go for a few days with decent record time but it is no match to the GoPro remote. My GoPro remote would last me for a month before I ever have to charge. I think it’s mainly because this remote has a backlight. They should add an option to just turn it off. That’ll dramatically increase the battery life.

Glad the video helped. Thanks! 😊

The remote connects back even if it was turned off as long as the synced camera was not turned off over 20 mins. The camera turning off after 20 mins is what kills the connection. I bet they do it to give more battery life. There should’ve been an option on OA4 to extend the connection up to 2 or more hours and let users choose.

Hey! Thanks!! Yes I have two cameras but they only can start/stop recording with remote if both cameras are on. Which is useful in some cases but not when I’m riding. It’s a disappointment. So I use remote only for the camera looking at me but use record button for the helmet cam.

@@ninerpeak Thanks man! Yeah what a pity, hopefully a firmware update could fix this

Many times I don’t use external mic. My helmet mic is Rode 2 Lav Mic.

Oh I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing. I’ll take a look.

Didn’t even know the Ant+ dongle existed :) It will be amazing if they are able to start and stop two cameras like GoPro does. Apart from this negative I absolutely love the camera. It is consistent. Doesn’t fail. And gotta love the boot time. It helps me when riding to quick capture something that I see, like a scenic opening in the mountains. Thanks for taking time to comment. It was helpful.

Hi I haven’t tested it with continues recording but have used it intermittently as I ride and it lasts me a couple of days. I’d say between 8-10 hours of standby and record time combined.

The range is up to 70m. I haven’t used it from that far. The most I’ve used it around 30m or so without issues.

Haha. True. There’s some inconsistency there. I think go pro has their remotes figured out properly.

Thanks for taking time to comment. Getting the new camera delivered on Friday. If it delivers on time, I’ll drop a quick video next weekend.

Hey, I'm curious to know if you can control 2 cameras with one remote too. Any thoughts?

Yes you can control two cameras but not like GoPro does. Definitely need a future update for better features.

@@ninerpeak cool. Thank you. Will it cycle through the quick settings on both cameras?

@paweljonca-art, buttons on the remote are way better than the camera itself. Also Iole buttons on the cage the camera comes with. Helps feel buttons when using gloves.

Unfortunately not bro, I have my fingers crossed 🤞

Yes gps data works perfectly. The only way I could figure is to use Mimo app to overlay the information.

well that puts a new GoPro out the window for me , I never realised they removed the GPS from the new 12 , definitely made my mind up now to go for the Action 4 and a remote .

@@uptowndisco2 yea I get why GoPro removed it since no one used it but like I said that’s because you’d have to turn on and leave your camera on while you started and stopped recording which would kill the battery. So instead most use quick capture for instant on and record but then the gps doesn’t sync. I agree it’s still dumb to remove and it would screw with one use for me which is track driving events where programs like Harry’s lap timer or race chrono use the gps to auto sync with your lap information. I think Dji method of keeping it in the remote is smarter though, it can stay linked to the gps and the camera doesn’t need to stay on burning up the battery. Won’t be surprised if there’s a new GoPro remote in the works.

It’s called, Chin Mount. They make specific ones for helmets.

There is no country restriction on the usage of the remote. However if you are looking to add DJI care protection plan, there may be restrictions.

@@ninerpeak ok thanks 🙏

I didn’t test the range but it should be standard Bluetooth 5.0 range and that’s about 800ft or 240m.

No I haven’t. But read that this remote is only for Osmo 4. Osmo 2 remote (small one) works with Osmo 3.

Camera display turn off setting is different than camera sleep setting. This remote can wake up Action 4 camera for up to 20 mins after the last use. After 20 mins the camera just turns off.

Oh this is great update. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll update my remote and test it 😊

@@ninerpeak do let us know how it worked :) I tried now with the camera and indeed it resumes filming via snapshot even after 4 hours or so of sleeping. Hopefully it will have the same behavior via the remote too.

yeah, just got the remote and it still disconnects after 30 minutes, so I am joining the "DJI fu*kin change this" bandwagon.

@ioandragulescu6063 oh that’s a bummer. I have misplaced my remote and unfortunately couldn’t find it to test the update yet.

@@ninerpeak yeah ... I've been spamming the DJI forums on each topic that's related to the remote, with the request to allow the camera to NOT go off after 30 minutes. That seems to be the issue actually. After 30 minutes of sleep, the camera turns itself completely off to save battery. And they should allow users to set this value, from 30 minutes all the way down to never. Maybe if more of us voice our opinion on the forums they will listen and put it in a future firmware update.

Yes it can change modes and captures photos as well

DJI stays idle for weeks. I took two long over night rides 3 weeks apart where I used it a lot and never manually turned it off (it auto shuts after some time) but I had to charge it towards the end of my second ride while I was riding. I think if there was a way to turn off the backlight the battery will last longer. GoPro one doesn’t have a back light. The light actually helped me in low light situations when I wanted to see the shooting mode.

Thank you. Would the battery last 8 hours with a lot of use?

Yes that happens to be the case for me. I’ve recorded every half an hour throughout the day for avg 10 hrs ride.

shot press is like snapshot wake up + start shooting

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Working on multicam video with remote.

This doesn’t work if the camera has been off for over 30 mins. I just tried holding the record button. But yes it turns on the camera if it is within 30 mins. Great information!

Good one. I knew about the shutdown but not the wakeup on long press. Thanks!

Thanks for taking time to write👍👍. Also I am glad that the video helped you make a decision. Yes my primary function is to use it while riding so I don’t have to take my hand off the handlebar. I seriously hope that DJI will improve the remote with more features. I’d like a way to start all calls at once and stop at once from off state and back to off state when recording is done. Also the sleep timer for Bluetooth is too short. Hoping for the best 🤞 Btw I paid $80 USD

Interesting point of view. Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep in mind in my next videos

Yes it can. But in that mode you cannot wake up cameras and shut them down from the remote. You have to have both cameras on in order to control both simultaneously.

That is so cool! Yes, I found the range on Bluetooth remote better and reliable than my iPhone connection at distance. Please post like to your video you are creating some cool content.

Yes you can but you cannot start stop recording more than one camera from turned off state. Multiple cam setup works when all cameras are turned on.

Hi I haven't tested it with continues recording but have used it intermittently as I ride and it lasts me a couple of days. I'd say between 8-10 hours of standby and record time combined.

@@ninerpeak Yes, I would only take about 60 minutes of recordings in a day with standby. 1 day would be enough for me. Thanks from Germany

Hello, unfortunately it is only compatible with Action 4. Not compatible with Action 3. Action 2 remote is compatible with Action 3.

That makes it two of us 👍 truly superior products.

@@ninerpeak what tools do you recommend for maintenance on your bike? What sockets? I have a 2022 1250rt

I can post a pic of what I have. Be on the lookout. Consider subscribing so you won’t miss it 😊I’ll post. It’s a big list but gets most of the stuff done. I’ve been visiting the dealership for periodic maintenance though since the bike is still in 3 year warranty.

@@ninerpeak I subscribed a while ago. mines is under warranty but I still want to do oil changes an all on my own.

Much appreciated 🙏😊

True for many other applications for me as well. Just not when riding.

They say it’s up to 70m I haven’t used it from that far though.

thanks

Splash proof

Splash proof. Use it all the time on motorcycle even during rain. Have dipped it in water accidentally no issues. I won’t put it under water for longer periods like while swimming.

gopro is just way better because ...

I got more than 10 hrs so far. But I do find it annoying that it doesn’t last as long as the GoPro one does. Which feels like forever 😄 I didn’t test the range but it should be same as other Bluetooth 4 devices.

Yes, that would’ve been nice when you’re away from the camera and can’t see either of screens clearly.

😆 they could’ve added that as a feature. The battery life on these is doubtful though. Not sure if it’ll last whole day even if it just shows time.

@@ninerpeak It doesn’t have to last, and without knowing your Timezone, the time of day would be incorrect, but at least you wouldn’t need a seperate device to keep track of the battery life of everything.

Agreed. No new feature yet that sets this one significantly apart from the previous remote.

It has gps

Yes, Mimo app can wirelessly control one camera at a time. Not ideal for my application as I don’t want to operate cellphone for camera control when riding a motorcycle 😊

@@ninerpeak I was not thinking for a motorcycle. But you have your Cellphone up as it is on your motorcycle. Press a button on your Cell or This Remote. Same difference. Just one you already own and do not have to pay extra for. Unless your one of the people that are getting rid of your cell phone. Which seems to be trend now.

The biggest benefit of having a physical button is I don’t have to look at it to press it. I can feel it with my thumb while I focus on the road. The phone is for navigation. With screen there are several steps. First I’ll have to switch the app from navigation to Mimo. Then wait for it to connect to the camera then see where the record button is. That’s way too many steps to get distracted while riding or driving. 😊

@@ninerpeak I never used the phone as navigation. But I see that can be a thing too. I talking not for riding. And the simplness of just being able to feel the button is a good point. Im talking if some one just walking. But has the camera in a spot they can not easly reach. Like the top of their head. But, I see they are about the same. Simpler on the wrist. Phone added benefit you can watch the camera on the screen. So depends on the situation. Thanks for the response. I got it now.

Yep agree with you, different situation needs different solution. Speaking of controlling with phone, they should add multipoint support to control two cameras at the same time to Mimo. If there’s a way, I don’t know how to.
