Can You Use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 While Charging? Battery Life and Fast Charging Explained

Author:

Yes. DJI says the Osmo Pocket 3 can be used while charging. During recording, it draws power directly from the external power input. DJI says the internal battery charges after recording stops.

How long does the built-in battery last?

DJI lists up to 166 minutes under a test using 1080p/24 fps, Wi-Fi off, screen off, and a room temperature of 25 C. That figure is a laboratory reference, not a promise for every shooting mode.

How fast can it charge?

With DJI’s 65W PD charger under laboratory conditions, DJI lists approximately 16 minutes to 80% and 32 minutes to 100%.

Do you need a 65W charger?

DJI recommends its 65W Portable Charger, 30W USB-C Charger, or a USB-C charger that supports the PD fast-charging protocol. The 65W figure is the charger used for DJI’s fastest published laboratory timing, not a statement that the camera continuously consumes 65W.

What does the Battery Handle add?

DJI says the 950mAh Battery Handle can add approximately 103 minutes of 1080p/24 runtime under its test conditions, an increase of about 62% compared with the camera’s tested runtime.

Can the Battery Handle charge a phone?

No. DJI specifically says the Pocket 3 Battery Handle is not a phone power bank.
