I was looking to find a way to get a live feed from the DJI Pocket 3 so that I could use it live on my Wirral Lite cable-cam system. I came across a way to use a Raspberry Pi as a wireless receiver to output the live video stream from the camera. It's not a perfect solution, there are some limitations but I thought I would share this with you.
Once you have created your Cosmostreamer box using a Rasberry Pi and an additional USB WiFi dongle the box serves a webpage over the Pi's ethernet connection or WiFi that acts as a control panel. You can connect to this with almost any web browser on a computer, tablet or phone and from there control the Pocket 3. You have the same range of controls via this web page as you have in the DJI Mimo app. Once the Cosmostreamer is attached to the Pocket 3 the connection itself is pretty stable, but every now and then the video stream will briefly glitch and pixelate (you can see an example of this in the video) and then return to normal again. For my application I think this will be acceptable, but if you need a non stop stream that is always perfect this might not be for you.
