  • Keep the inside of the lens cap clean to avoid dust or debris that could scratch the lens. The lens cap can be detached from the safety cord and used separately.

Charging and battery level indication

FAQ

1. Does the FOMO Power Handle have a serial number?

The Handle does not have a serial number; only the date of manufacture is marked.

2. Can the FOMO Power Handle power on the X5 camera?

Yes. The FOMO Power Handle comes with a Mini Remote. After pairing the Mini Remote with the camera, you can use the Handle to power the camera on/off, start/stop recording, take photos, and more.

3. Can I set the camera to preferentially draw power from the FOMO Power Handle?

No additional setting is required. When the camera is connected to the Handle with a USB Type-C cable, the system will automatically use the Handle's battery to power the camera first.

4. What is the power supply and charging logic when shooting with the FOMO Power Handle? Will the camera battery drain while shooting?
  • When the Handle is connected, the system uses the Handle's battery to power the camera first. Any surplus power from the Handle will charge the camera battery.
  • If the camera battery is relatively full (approximately 80% or higher) and its temperature is too high, battery over-temperature protection will be triggered. The camera will temporarily switch to using its battery until the charge drops to about 80% and then automatically switch back to drawing power from the Handle.

5. Can the FOMO Power Handle be taken on an airplane? Should it be checked or carried on? Does it have 3C certification?

The FOMO Power Handle has passed 3C certification and can be taken on an airplane. Because it serves as a power bank, it is recommended to carry it in your carry-on luggage to avoid potential issues, since restrictions on checked luggage may vary by airline. Airline requirements may vary slightly, so please check with your airline before departure to confirm the latest regulations.
