In this guide we’ll show how to make a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 accept external Timecode.
Turn on all your Lockit devices, choose one of them to be the Master Clock – then press-and-hold the green button to broadcast timecode and framerate through ACN and you are set.
Make sure all cameras and Lockits run on the same frame rate.
- On the Lockit, press green and red simultaneously to enter menu, then and navigate to “Project Rate”. The NanoLockit frame rate can be adjusted in the LockitToolbox.
- On the Camera:
- Swipe upwards on the home screen to access the resolution menu
- Select your frame rate in the screen.
How to make the camera accept external Timecode:
- Enter main menu by swiping down on the home screen
- Go to “Settings” (Hex nut icon)
- Enter "Timecode"
- The camera is indicating that it is waiting for external TC
For this camera you need an LTC-OUT-USBC timecode cable.

Connect it to the USB-C port of the Osmo Pocket
The camera accepts the external Timecode source and automatically jams the internal generator. You can remove the cable once the success message pops up.
Be aware that the Osmo Pocket does not follow external timecode but will only single-jam its own timecode generator. Therefore drift can still occur within the cameras specs.
