Operation Guide

01 Before Shooting

Before starting your workout and filming, make sure to calibrate the camera's time zone/date/time (settings for mobile camera/action camera) and the workout data's time zone/date/time (settings for watch/cyclometer) to keep them consistent.

If you find that the times are indeed inconsistent:

1. If the dates are different or the time difference is significant, it's recommended to recalibrate and then shoot again.

2. If the dates are the same and the time difference is small (within 1 minute), you can import the workout data and use the "Time Alignment" feature on the dashboard to sync the video and workout data timelines.

02 During Shooting

While working out and filming, it's advised to follow the flow in the image below: start recording workout data first, then begin filming, and finish the workout recording after the video shoot to ensure proper data import on the dashboard.

The following actions may cause time mismatches or data collection issues, and users should follow the recommended process to redo the workout and filming:

1. Starting to film first, then turning on the watch/cyclometer to record workout data, which results in parts of the video timeline having no corresponding workout data.

2. During filming, repeatedly starting and stopping the workout on the watch/cyclometer, leading to one video corresponding to multiple workouts.

3. Starting the workout on the watch/cyclometer without actually working out, which prevents the watch/cyclometer from collecting data.

4. Working out and filming in areas with weak GPS signals (like tunnels or indoors), which causes the watch/cyclometer to fail in collecting location data.

03 After Shooting

After exercising and shooting, first check if the exercise data has synced to the third-party vendor's cloud service.

*How to confirm if it has synced to the third-party vendor's cloud service:

1. Use the third-party vendor's app to connect to the watch/cycling computer.

① Usually, it will automatically initiate data syncing after connecting.

② The vendor's app also has a manual sync option.

③ You can view the exercise data corresponding to the dashboard features in the third-party vendor's app.

2. Check if the exercise date, start time, and duration are correct. 

04 Importing Third-Party Sports Data

1. Turn on your phone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and run the DJI Mimo App. On the home page of the DJI Mimo App, click the camera icon, and devices like Osmo Action will appear; click "Connect."

2. After connecting the camera to the DJI Mimo App, click the album icon on the home page and select the video footage captured during your activity.

3. Choose the video from the album, click "Dashboard," select "Data Import," and on the "Data Import" page, choose the corresponding data channels related to your sports device.

4. Once the data is imported, select your activity scene, and the sports data recorded by your watch/cyclometer will automatically display in the video. After setting it up, you can export an exciting video that includes visualized sports data.

*The following data discrepancies are normal phenomena; to optimize the dynamic presentation of the dashboard, the app processes the details of the sports data through algorithms, resulting in:
1. When the video is aligned with the cyclometer/watch, and the dashboard sticker is loaded, you may find discrepancies between the data shown on the dashboard sticker and the cyclometer/watch: the cyclometer/watch typically collects data points every 1-5 seconds, while the dashboard function processes data at 10Hz.

2. If the units of the dashboard sticker differ from those used by third-party apps, the data will be converted based on the original data returned by the manufacturer.

3. There may be discrepancies in summary data like total mileage: the dashboard function calculates directly based on GPS details, which may not align with the manufacturer's total mileage algorithm.

4. When the user is stationary/indoors/inside a tunnel, speed and other data do not change: the cyclometer/watch stops or cannot collect GPS data, causing the dashboard to be unable to determine whether the user is stationary or in motion during this time, so it smooths out situations where GPS signals are briefly lost.

We are continuously integrating more one-click data import functions for additional bike computers. Please stay tuned for further updates.

06 Are all data from the bike computer supported for import?

Currently, the import of the following data is supported: speed, route direction, total distance, altitude, slope, heart rate, power, cadence, pace, and water depth.

07 Why do Garmin China and Garmin Connect not support the import of water depth data?

At present, Garmin's data synchronization interface does not support the direct import of diving-related data. However, you can manually import the FIT file. Kindly export the FIT file within the relevant Garmin diving app and manually import it into DJI Mimo. 

08 Why is there a delay between the data I import and the actual sports activities?

Solution

1. Check before the sports:

Check if the time on the camera matches the time on your watch, bike computer or other devices. If the times of the two devices do not match, please update the time on the device via Internet, and also update the time on the camera by connecting to DJI Mimo, ensuring that the recording time of the sports data matches the actual shooting time.

2. Match after the sports:

If the imported sports data does not match the actual shooting time of the video, you can adjust it manually by selecting “Time Alignment” in “Data Adjustment”. You can adjust the time at special points where there are significant changes in motion speed, such as starting, turning, and stopping.

If the issue persists after following the above steps, please contact DJI Support for further assistance. 

09 Why is the "Sign in" button on the authorization page in Garmin Connect unresponsive?

This issue is caused by the instability in Garmin's international servers, which prevents the login process from proceeding to the next step.

We appreciate your feedback, and we will be communicating with Garmin to resolve this issue. For now, we recommend that you switch your mobile network and try again later, or use another mobile phone. 

10 Sports data files do not match video time and cannot be used

Issue description

When data is imported from Apple Health, the message "Sports data files do not match video time and cannot be used" appears, and only one piece of sports data with the time "1970-01-01" is retrieved.

Solution

1. Ensure that the location services on the Apple Watch are enabled. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, and scroll down to find Apple Watch Faces and Apple Watch Workout. Enter these settings and confirm that "While Using the App" is selected for both settings and that "Precise Location" is turned on.

2. Please record data and shoot videos again in an open outdoor space with a good GPS signal and then verify whether the sports data can be successfully imported into the video.

3. If the issue persists despite the steps above, follow the "Handling of Anomalies" procedure.

11. Why doesn't Apple Health support importing skiing data?

After thorough testing by our engineers, we found that due to limitations in Apple's system services, Apple Health cannot record GPS information like speed during activities such as alpine skiing and snowboarding. As a result, the data that these dashboards rely on is currently unavailable.

If you ski frequently, we recommend considering watches or bike computers from other brands.

However, if you still want to use Apple Health to import dashboard data, our tests show that you can select the "Outdoor Cycling" mode while recording your skiing activities. This way, you can obtain GPS information.

We will continue to monitor any adjustments to Apple's system services, and if there are updates, we will adapt accordingly.
