About
DJI Mimo is a comprehensive mobile application designed exclusively for DJI handheld camera products, including the Osmo Pocket, Osmo Action, and Osmo Mobile gimbal series. It serves as a command center that wirelessly connects to DJI devices, enabling real-time HD live preview, remote camera control, and intelligent shooting modes — all from a smartphone screen. The app's editing suite lets users work on footage directly without needing to transfer files to their phone first, significantly streamlining the post-production workflow. A curated selection of Pro Color Grading filters delivers cinematic looks with a single tap, while the Live Photos extraction feature pulls high-quality stills from 4K video clips. Device watermarks let creators stamp their footage with a branded signature. One standout feature is the Sports Dashboard, which imports activity data from wearables like Apple Watch, Garmin, Suunto, and COROS, then overlays it as dynamic, professional-style data graphics onto cycling, skiing, running, or diving videos. ActiveTrack subject tracking ensures smooth, stable footage even in fast-moving or crowded scenes when paired with the Osmo Mobile gimbal. Background downloading keeps media transfers running while users multitask, and improved wireless connection speeds make device management faster than ever. DJI Mimo is ideal for content creators, adventure sports enthusiasts, vloggers, and everyday users who want to get the most out of their DJI hardware without needing a desktop editing suite.
