The DJI Osmo Pocket is a fantastic, compact camera. However, it always comes with some limitations when connecting it to YoloBox. In this blog, I’ll walk you through the best methods to connect the DJI Osmo Pocket to your YoloBox, including both wired and wireless options.
Things to Know Before Use
The DJI Osmo Pocket only offers a USB-C output. It doesn’t support USB-C to HDMI out, so you can’t simply use a USB-C to HDMI adapter for a direct connection to YoloBox Ultra. However, there are still effective ways to connect it via USB, with a few things to keep in mind.
USB-C Connection
The most straightforward way to connect your Osmo Pocket to the YoloBox Ultra is by using a USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable. Simply plug the Osmo Pocket into one of the USB ports on the YoloBox Ultra.
- USB-C to USB-A: This is often the more reliable option. Most users find that connecting via USB-A works smoothly without any issues.
- USB-C to USB-C: While this might seem convenient, some users report that the YoloBox Ultra doesn’t recognize the Osmo Pocket when using a USB-C to USB-C cable, which can even cause the YoloBox Ultra to restart. This is likely because the Osmo Pocket may detect the Ultra as a charging device, leading to instability.
Tip: If you experience problems with USB-C to USB-C, try switching to a USB-C to USB-A cable instead.
Wireless Connection Option
If you prefer to connect your Osmo Pocket wirelessly to the YoloBox Ultra, it’s possible but comes with a trade-off—latency. Wireless connections typically introduce some delay compared to a wired setup, which might affect the timing of your stream.
Here’s how to connect wirelessly:
- Convert USB to HDMI: Since the Osmo Pocket doesn’t have an HDMI output, you’ll need to use a USB to HDMI adapter. The Obsbot USB UVC to HDMI adapter is a great choice for this, but keep in mind that it requires external power, so you’ll need a power bank to keep it running.
- Use a Wireless Video Transmission Kit: Once you’ve converted the USB output to HDMI, you can use a wireless kit like the Hollyland Mars to transmit the video signal wirelessly to your YoloBox Ultra.
While this method works well, you should expect some latency, so it’s not ideal for situations where precise timing is critical.
Conclusion
Although the DJI Osmo Pocket doesn’t support a direct HDMI out connection, there are still reliable ways to connect it to your YoloBox Ultra using USB cables. If you want to go wireless, just be mindful of the latency. With these tips, you can integrate your Osmo Pocket into your live streaming setup without too much hassle.
