Hello DJI,

Thank you so much for adding webcam mode to the pocket 3! It's looking like a great start, but there are a few key features that would make this mode a lot more useful.

• Gimbal Mode: When in webcam mode, the settings menu has the toggle to set the gimbal mode disabled. While in webcam mode, I'd really like the ablity to use tilt lock feature. This is key for use when mounted and riding a bicycle (camera is connected to a mobile broadcast pc via uvc).
• Higher FPS in Webcam mode: The settings for webcam mode appear to be locked to 1080p 30fps, but it would be great if we could use it in higher fps modes such as 50fps. Since the pocket 3 appears to be more than capable of recording to sd card at 4k 120fps, I would hope that means that 1080 50/60fps in uvc mode would be more than doable.
• Anti-Flicker in Webcam mode: living in a region of the world with 50hz electricity, it's very important to have this method available if there is no 50fps setting.
• Shutter speed range limits: ability to set the shutter speed range limit like exists on the osmo action 4 (eg. 1/100 - 1/8000)
  

Thanks again! Really excited with this new camera, and would love to see these critical improvements made

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. I will forward this concern of yours to our relevant team for attention. After the evaluation of the engineers, significant suggestions or requests will be implemented via the firmware update, app update, etc.  Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thank you!

Just as an additional note, I think it's be more than acceptable if recording while in webcam mode is disabled when 50/60fps is set in webcam mode (assuming processing resources are an issue). Recording while in webcam mode is more of a "nice to have" IMO, but 50/60fps in webcam mode is a "must have".

Your feedback is well noted. I'll make sure to submit this to the relevant team. We appreciate your great support.

I just wanted to ask the same question. DJI please add at least 1080p 60fps support when in WEBCAM mode. Every other well-made webcam supports 60fps these days, so locking it at 30fps simply makes no sense.
PLEASE add this feature. We need 60 fps. Thank you

Thank you for the firmware update DJI. However, after having installed it, while the screen does give the option to supposedly select 60 fps in Webcam Mode:

1. it's still locked at 30 fps despite showing 60

2. it doesn't save the preferences, meaning, I have to pick 60fps again and again each time I connect the Pocket 3 as a webcam

However, since it's not ACTUALLY 60 fps, it doesn't make a difference, because 60fps in Webcam mode still does not work.

Confirming I'm also seeing this issue. Posted the following on the firmware release forum, but will copy below for reference.

I was happy to see the addition of 50/60fps on the webcam mode. So I tested today and confirmed the UI option when swiping up shows "108050/60", and upon selecting it, it shows "Webcam (60fps)". However, when connected to a computer it is only reading available fps values between 25-30fps. Confirmed in OBS, and with the script provided below. Could this possibly be a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Would really love to get 50/60fps webcam mode working! Would appreciate any help

webcam-test.swift
```
import AVFoundation

// Function to list formats and frame rates
func listCameraCapabilities() {
    // Create a discovery session for video devices
    let discoverySession = AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession(deviceTypes: [.builtInWideAngleCamera, .externalUnknown], mediaType: .video, position: .unspecified)

    // Get the list of video devices from the discovery session
    let videoDevices = discoverySession.devices

    // Iterate over each video device
    for device in videoDevices {
        print("Device Name: \(device.localizedName)")

        // Iterate over each format supported by the device
        for format in device.formats {
            let formatDescription = format.formatDescription
            let dimensions = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions(formatDescription)

            // Iterate over each frame rate range supported by this format
            for range in format.videoSupportedFrameRateRanges {
                print("Resolution: \(dimensions.width)x\(dimensions.height), FPS Range: \(range.minFrameRate)-\(range.maxFrameRate)")
            }
        }
        print("\n")
    }
}

// Run the function
listCameraCapabilities()
```

bump. Please don't forget this in the next firmware update. The issue still persists. No true 60 fps when in webcam mode.

bump again. Still no real 60 fps in webcam mode.

Bump. Still no 60 fps in webcam mode. It's still 30 fps even if you set it to 60.

I've bought the DJI action 4 a couple of days ago. I use it to IRL stream on my twitch channel. https://www.twitch.tv/patiro The camera is amazing BUT it cannot stream to rtmp at 60fps nor does it do 60fps in webcam mode. I'm bumping the thread again and would love to see 60fps, sending love to the dji team.

Hello DJI Team,

I was wondering if you have any updates on support for tilt lock (and other gimbal modes) in webcam mode. Is this something we can expect to see in the future?

Greetings,
Rano

+1 on wanting the gimbal modes (especially tilt lock) when in webcam mode!

After the update, now there are new resolutions for the webcam mode such as 4k 30/60 FPS. But there is no 1080p 60fps mode. There is still only 1080p 30 fps mode available. Is it a bug?

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. Press the Shutter/Record button to start recording. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to change the recording frame rate between 1080P25/30 and 1080P50/60, which correspond to internal recording frame rates of 30fps and 60fps, respectively. You can set the camera output frame rate to 25fps or 30fps and change the PAL/NTSC format of the recorded video on the computer. The 1080P25/30 option corresponds to the 30fps PAL/NTSC format, whereas the 1080P50/60 option corresponds to the 60fps PAL/NTSC format. The webcam output frame rate can only be set to 25 or 30 fps. Hope this helps.

Really need webcam mode to do 50/60 for IRL streaming

Hello there. We acknowledge that we have received the same concerns and suggestions from other DJI Pilots before. What we will do is continue to record such feedback and ensure that it reaches our related team. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. We hope this will be considered soon. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

the 50 60fps streaming is not official announced however it just could be set.

Yes, the latest firmware can be set to 4K 25 30 50 60 fps from livesteam software like OBS.


Since pocket3 has special application for recording 50/60fps when streaming 25/30, the 1080p50 60 stream is not supported.
(the backdoor of setting 4k50 60 from stream software is the best effort we can provide)

Too, I would also like to have 60 Frames output at UVC Webcam-mode
