I got and inexpensive EK7000 camera as a gift and tried it in my OSMO 3. Mounted it sideways with the holder clips on either side of it. Also screwed in a weight system that is available from a 3rd party to screw on the side of the mount. The weights hang down while in portrait mode. I then turn the gimble 180 degrees so that the selfie mode actually faces the other way. Works great especially mounted on my bike. The EK7000 has no stabilization so the gimble is a must.
Well done Rick! Drone Valley is my #1 source for valid and well-researched information. We MUST find a solution to use the GoPro Hero 8 with the DJI Osmo 3. Keep up the great work!
Two words: thank you! After struggling to try to make one of the aftermarket adapters work, I was at my wits end so great to understand that it’s not just me thank you so much for this video
Thanks for the post and I'm glad that the video helped. I'll have a lot more content posting soon so be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Hi, what if you remove the clamp with the bolts on the second plate and try to fix ur camera with some firm rubber band instead? So that you can move the strap and leave it where it doesn't interfere the clamp of the gimbal.
That might work but there's a balancing challenge as well that you'll need to add weights to overcome. We designed a bracket that does work with it and have it on our website if you're interested - tinyurl.com/yx4pf2v8
Thanks for stopping by and I know that you've been a supporter of the channel since the beginning and i really do appreciate it. I love talking about tech and the channel gives me a way to share that passion. I have a lot more content posting soon so be sure to stop back. Rick
I managed to get it to balance with the Osmo Action by using the Pgytech mount and stick on wheel weights attached to the counterweight on the opposite side from the camera. I used 3 strips of 4 weights each stacked on top of each other to balance it. Works pretty well, just wish there was a way to install the MIMo app to the Osmo Action so you could use the features of the Mobile 3.
Ray, I actually got it working after I did this clip too but I had to build such a wonky solution with one of the mounts that it was too big of a hassle to use. It worked but it was a hassle to clip it in the mount. I'm hoping I find a 3-D printed version that's easier. If I find one, I'll have a clip posted here on the channel so be sure to stay tuned.
We are using a Sony rx0ii on the osmo mobile 3 and the combination is amazing! It can also make motion timelapse with the phone app You can see the Bikers video on our channel. If need I can shoot a short tutorial.
Thank you Rick for this video. I wish I knew this a few weeks ago. I purchased both of the items you have and I was not able to get them to work for my Action Osmo either. I will keep waiting for something and watch for more information from you before I spend any more money. Thank you, keep up the great work.
Thank you Rick for a very interesting clip, I have thought quite much about this myself. For me it seems like a no-brainer for DJI to make an Osmo Action adapted Osmo Mobile 3, as a new product. The AI-enhancements in the Gimbal would motivate this for sure. It could be a bit touchy when making some sort of internal competition with OSMO Pocket, but I still think the market demands are large enough, and as people (even some you-tubers) tend to use other gimbals for Osmo Action, DJI would probably crush that competition as well. AND if they made this for Osmo Action it could possibly be fit for action cams with an alike form factor...
I'll look into it but I haven't seen one from them that works with the Osmo Action and the Osmo Mobile 3 yet. I do have one that I have been using and will have a clip posted soon and be offering it on the website. It's a little more expensive at $15.95.
I bought an Osmo Mobile 3 to use with my phone (nova 5t), not compatible 😡 Then I bought a Hohem iSteady pro 3 for my Hero 7 black, waste of money, really don't like it. Forever bugging and not pairing with the gopro. Now I'm thinking of buying an adapter to use the gopro on the Osmo. Any thoughts or advice?
Hello, after 4 months are there any updates? I have a DJİ Mobile 3 and Gopro hero 8 and I don't know how I can connect them :( I hope there are some updates now.
I posted an update clip on the channel showing you a mounting plate I found that works well with the Osmo Action and the Osmo Mobile 3 and am still searching for one I like for use with the Hero 8. Stay tuned. Rick
Hi Rick , I need your advice , I am going to Spain on Sunday and i found out that I cannot find anywhere the OSMO Pocket Genuine USB-C to 3.5mm Mic Microphone Adapter , any suggestion ? I want to use it with my Rodeo MIC wireless.....with my Osmo pocket .
Hi Rick - I've sent you this question via your website and email a few times… I am a new droner, with a Mavic Air and was looking on your site to see what lens filters you sell / recommend for the Mavic Air, but all that I saw was a shade … no filters. Was wondering what your opinion was wrt filters or filters vs shade for the mavic air. Thanks
Nick, I had at least 12 emails this week alone asking me if this would work and have been testing a ton of products for the past few weeks with no joy. I'm still working on it so stay tuned and I'm glad you got a chance to catch the clip. Rick
Rick, thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a great summer of flying and I always appreciate your kind support for the channel. Don;t give up on this yet, I'm still working on it. Rick
Jim, thanks for the post and I will have a few more clips on the Osmo Mobile 3. I actually found a mount that works and will be reviewing that this week. Rick
@@Dronevalley Hello , so is there a solution for osmo mobile 3 ? Maybe it is PGYTECH adapter? Let me know because I will probably buy this one today as it's black Friday deals everywhere. Cheers and thank you for the video.
@@blahLTblah Tomas, you're timing is perfect. I just finished a review of a new bracket that will hold your Osmo Action in the Osmo Mobile 3 and listed it on the Drone Valley site. Here's a link if you'd like to check it out - tinyurl.com/yx4pf2v8. It's the only one (including the PGY) that worked. Thanks, Rick
@@Dronevalley Great, thank you Rick, for your reply and the link. But I see you mentioned it is for osmo action camera. Will it work as well with GoPro Hero 7 or 8 ?
I haven't read all the comments so maybe someone has already suggested it, but from what I've seen everyone is trying to mount it in landscape position, where as the osmo mobile 3 default is portrait mode, so why is nobody trying to mount the action camera in portrait mode, this surely would be easier than trying to counteract left and right weight issues?
Thanks a lot for the video. I was the one frequently asking for this.you saved my bucks. You mean to say that both those adapters or at least one of them with the osmo action camera is possibly compatible with osmo mobile 2? And not with the osmo mobile 3. Am I right? I've seen few Chinese sites selling exclusive adapteros for osmo action. But none of them claiming it would be compatible with osmo mobile 3. I've already ordered for osmo mobile 3. Will wait for your update to buy the adapter for my osmo action.
The app is the real problem. If you want to mount it just mount your GoPro on that little mount display it comes in with the box. The one you throw away. It's the same shape as a phone lol and sticks to it pretty well. But the app and controls are another thing.
Hey Rick if you get a chance check out can Aaron's Channel he found a Gamble that'll hold a camera 6.4 lbs I believe it was and it's awesome like to get your opinion on that one
Frank, thanks for the post and I'm like a dog with a bone when I get something interesting to investigate. I haven't give up yet on this so stay tuned. Rick
Thanks for the video...Any word as to when DJI is going to release an adapter for connecting an external mic to the Osmo Action...Osmo Action could make an ideal vlogging solution but without an external mic all that business is going to the GoPro 7...DJI get your sh*t together!
Well I guess DJI listened to me..LOL...that's what I'm telling myself anyway...they just announced an Audio adapter (9/24/19) one week after my post. Sound adapter resolved...even if it is $39 + shipping + taxes...Argh.
So at the end of the day the osmo mobile 3 works the best with a phone running the Mimo app. Not rocket science here. I believe this was designed for a smartphone. I could be wrong.
Joe, thanks for the post but this is nothing more. Every smart phone gimbal releases to date can be used with one of the Action Camera mounts for stabilization. It’s only natural that folks wanted to know if the new Osmo Mobile 3 offered this as well and it turn out that it doesn’t. I hope that explains why I did the clip.
I like this guy. No bullshit filler, just right to the point.

Great Idea! QUESTION? Have you found any mount that will work? I have osom 3 and go pro hero 10.
Thank you so much. I was about to invest in it to use it with my gopro 7. But I guess I will wait now.
Please do upload the video if you find a way to fit GoPro on Osmo 3, Thanks very much for this great video
Check this. Looks like this will work. Have not used it yet though, just ordered. Let me know if you get to use it before I do.
Any updates? I've got an old GOPRO Hero 3. I was gonna try to find a GCODE that I can print. But thought I'd drop in first... Thanks!
Good information & nice video 👍

is there a solution? July 2021. I got DJI OM 3 and want to switch phone for GoPro.
Hi. I have an osmo action camera and the osmo gimbal 4... what should I use???
Can you share me the link to buy this plate for osmo action cam
I'm in the process of making a mount that can be 3d printed will post a video soon.

All great points. The osmo app is really a bonus with the osmo 3 that and the Bluetooth connection

Were you able to find a solution for this?

Comfirmed. Pgytech adapter worked! It's heavy. With DJI Action Camera, the weight is 9.65 oz.
You just saved me some dough... Thanks
Thank you so much for your informative videos
Have you tried a phone with the osmo pocket attached to it? Or would that be too heavy.
What about the sound of the motors problem with Osmo Mobile 2 working with GoPro
Great video. Thanks for this. Subscribed.....

i sold osmo mobile 3 because it can't mount adapter for gopro 5,6,7. Sad
If the bolts are jutting out the back doesn't that mean the cam will be pointing the wrong way.
Yah the don't work on the 3 but I only paid $4 for it. I use it to hold it any ways with my Ram Mount Phone holder.
there are 3d printed plate for gopro's...they might be modified for osmo action..

Just saying
double sided tape and use the phone app. done.
Who in their right mind mounts an action cam on a gimbal? action cams are helmet mounted or chest mounted.
