DJI Osmo Pocket 3 timecode accuracy test

How accurate is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 timecode when jammed to an external timecode generator? Let's check it.

The reference timecode generator is a BETSO SBOX-2RF. It has a very accurate TCXO clock chip with a maximum rated drift of 0.3 frames in a twenty-four hour period. The BETSO TCX-2 generator seen in this video was synced to it via BETSO's wireless sync protocol, which ensures zero drift between the reference and all synced receivers. The Sound Devices Scorpio used to record the external audio was directly connected to the SBOX-2RF with mode set to external timecode sync (so continuous sync, not jammed).

(The timecode tests were performed using DJI Osmo Pocket 3 firmware version 01.02.06.06.)
