Camera Remote for DJI Osmo - Watches
· v1.0.45
About
Control your DJI Osmo action camera straight from your Garmin — over Bluetooth Low Energy, no phone required.
Start and stop recording, fire the shutter, and switch shooting modes from your wrist or handlebars. The app also streams your Garmin's GPS (position, altitude, speed, heading) into the camera, so DJI Mimo and telemetry-overlay tools can show your track, speed, and elevation on the footage.
FEATURES
- One-press record start / stop and photo shutter
- Mode switching: Video, Photo, Timelapse, Slow-Mo, Hyperlapse, SuperNight, Subject Tracking
- Live GPS telemetry embedded into your recordings
- Activity-aware GPS: while you record a Garmin activity (ride, run, hike), the remote shares that same GPS fix so your tracks match
- Recording timer kept in sync with the camera
- Auto-reconnect to your last camera on launch
- Clean, glanceable UI with connection + GPS-lock indicators, scaled to every supported device
SUPPORTED CAMERAS
- DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (fully tested)
- DJI Osmo Action 6 (same control protocol — connect, record, modes, GPS)
- DJI Osmo 360 (connect, record, and GPS telemetry; 360-specific modes shown by name)
NOT SUPPORTED CAMERAS
- DJI Osmo Action 4 (due to a garmin BLE limitation)
- DJI Osmo Nano (Official documentation from DJI is to wait for future FW update, until then not supported)
SETUP
1. On the camera: enable the Bluetooth remote / wireless connection.
2. On the Garmin: open the app, press START to scan, select your camera, and confirm the pairing code on the camera.
3. Record — GPS telemetry starts automatically once a fix is acquired (the location pin turns green).
NOTES
- Waking a sleeping camera from the Garmin isn't possible (DJI's wake needs a BLE broadcast that Connect IQ can't send) — wake the camera with its own button and the app reconnects automatically.
- Clips are time-stamped in UTC (the standard for video metadata); your player or editor displays them in your local time.
