Hello all,

I saw how people succesfully connected their Osmo Pocket to their phone using the bottom usb c connector. I cannot get this to work and keep getting the question if i want to connect to computer. Is it stil possible using this method or did thing get changed with a new firmware?

Many thanks, Robert Glotzbach

It works with the current and previous firmwares. Make sure the main phone connector on the accessory port is off or in the inward position and that you are using a USB-C data cable not just a charging cable.

That sounds promising..... then what should i do when this message: "connect to computer?" pops up?    Its a shielded USB 2.0 cable, with a transfer speed of 480 Mbits/s

Thanks for helping... much apreciated :-)

My pocket only asks that when I connect to my computer for offloads.

When I connect to my iPhone, via a lightning to USB-C cord, the phone simply fires up the Mimo app, just like when connected by the DJI supplied phone adaptor.

How would the OP know that you are connecting for offloads; don't forget  i am connecting to the usb port on the bottom not on the side?

When you get the prompt click yes.  It should then activate the Mimo app. Either way, the phone will charge itself from the Osmo Pocket.

I just use it for offloads. The Pocket sees it connecting to a computer. It doesn't know what I am doing.

When it does connect to my computer, it shows up as a connected drive. From that, I offload the files.

Thanks.... No it does not activate the App. And when i launch the app manually and try to connect to the OP, it says no Osmo found. When i connect with the top usb c port  all works fine.

Its so weird, with other people it does not seem to be a problem to have it working.   Just don't get it.

It’s like the previous poster stated, you do not have a data + charge cable. I have several cables but only a few work. For example my mobile Sony XZ2 cable works perfectly with the osmo but anker cables do not as it’s only a charging cable,

I started to wonder this myself.... On the package however it is stated: "High speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps". Maybe order another cable?

Is it a USB C to USB A Cable?

I think you need a refund. Clearly it's not working.

Be sure that the cable is fully inserted in the bottom of the osmo pocket. When I don't do this, the mimo app does not launch.

Thank you guys for all your help :-)
Received the newly ordered cable from "sitecom" and it works perfectly.
Can now return the first cable and get the money back.
