Keeping your Dji Osmo Pocket 3 updated with the latest firmware is essential for optimal performance and new features. Firmware updates can improve stability, add functionalities, and fix bugs. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help you update your device easily and safely.

Preparation Before Updating

Before starting the firmware update process, ensure your device is fully charged. A power level of at least 50% is recommended to prevent interruptions during the update. Additionally, back up any important footage or settings, as updates typically do not affect stored data but it’s good practice to safeguard your content.

  • If a firmware update is available, you will see a prompt on the app’s home screen.
  • Tap on the prompt to begin the update process.
  • Follow on-screen instructions to complete the update. Do not disconnect the device during this process.

  • Visit the official Dji website and navigate to the Osmo Pocket 3 support page.
  • Download the latest firmware file to your computer.
  • Insert an SD card into your computer and format it to FAT32.
