Step-By-Step User Guide
Step #1
First, you need to ensure your DJI Osmo Action 3 firmware is at least v01.02.10.10 or newer.
This update contains the timecode function and can be found using the DJI Mimo app.
Step #2
Next, confirm your frame rate, note that the DJI Osmo 3 menu displays the incorrect frame rates. This is confirmed by looking at the clip metadata.
Conversions:
⚫ 24fps = 23.98fps
⚫ 30fps = 29.97fps DROP FRAME
⚫ 60fps = 59.94fps
Step #3
On your TC-1, scroll over to the frame rate section and match it to the camera.
Next, scroll over to the out type section and select “A-Out.”
Step #4
To connect the TC-1 to your Osmo Action 3, you will need a USB-C to 3.5 TRS cable.
Through our testing, we had the most success with the Deity C21 and Saramonic SR-C2001.
Step #5
Once inside the timecode menu, connect the TC-1 to update the Osmo Action 3’s internal timecode.
After syncing, remove the TC-1 for scratch audio or to add an external microphone. Keep the TC-1 powered on for later use.
Step #6
The internal timecode of the Osmo Action 3 will lose sync after a few hours so repeat the jamming process every so often.
Step #7
Note that you can power down the camera and swap the battery without losing timecode sync.
