Same as with some [[DJI]] products, this manufacturer's devices require an initial connection to a proprietary app in order to be usable. DJI allows only five power-on cycles before requiring activation through their DJI Mimo app for cameras like the Osmo Action series and Pocket 3.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Activating Your Handheld Products |url=https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700006759&spaceId=17&re=US&lang=en&documentType=&paperDocType=ARTICLE |url-status=live |website=DJI Support}}</ref>

In contrast, manufacturers like <s>AKASO</s> (from Akaso Brave 8 user manual: When using the camera or camera reformatting for the first time, a quick start guide will display how to use the camera and settings. At the same time, it will remind you to activate in APP but you can click “skip” to ignore. Note: please activate within 3 times skipping; otherwise, the camera will lock) and SJCAM maintain more consumer-friendly approaches, allowing their cameras to operate without app activation.
