Watch a direct camera feed right on your wrist
DJI, known for drones and other gadgets, is rolling out a new firmware update to its Osmo Mobile 6 and Osmo Mobile SE gimbals, allowing users to control them with just an Apple Watch.
According to the release notes, the smartwatch will have access to various functions like viewing the camera feed, changing the gimbal direction, adjusting the composition, and switching between portrait and landscape mode. Once you’re done shooting, “the captured photo or the first frame of the video” will appear on the watch face.
To use the feature, you need an iPhone and one of six supported Apple Watch models like the Series 9. The full list of devices can be seen on DJI’s FAQ page. There aren’t any restrictions on iPhone models, although they need iOS 16 or later. Similarly, the Apple Watches must have watchOS 9 or later onboard.
Assuming you have the right hardware, the next step is to update the DJI Mimo app to version 2.0.4. Once the firmware has finished installing, connect your Apple Watch to your iPhone, then open the Mimo app on both devices.
