DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal

DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal Summary

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal is the latest generation of phone gimbal from DJI, which combines cutting-edge intelligent tracking, with high-quality audio, and 360º pan rotation in a compact, easy-to-use form factor.

Thanks to the gimbal’s advanced ActiveTrack 7.0 system, it can follow subjects including people, pets, and objects with impressive accuracy.

The gimbal also includes a built-in extension rod, integrated tripod, and unlimited 360° horizontal spin open up new angles, from ultra-low perspectives to creative panoramic shots.

DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal in More Detail

Tracking Options

DJI OM Multifunctional Module

The DJI OM Multifunctional Module enables precise tracking for people, cats, and dogs [2]. Once attached, the gimbal recognises and follows movement automatically, allowing you to capture moments naturally with either your phone camera or live-streaming apps.

It also performs well in multi-person environments, whether you’re recording at events, exhibitions, or outdoors, maintaining smooth tracking of your selected subject.

Direct Phone Connection [1]

Osmo Mobile 8 supports Apple DockKit, enabling instant pairing by tapping your phone on the NFC area of the gimbal handle to connect via Bluetooth [1]. Once magnetically attached, seamless tracking begins immediately. iPhone users can also take advantage of the DJI OM Magnetic Quick-Release Mount, allowing them to skip the phone clamp for faster, more streamlined setup.

ActiveTrack 7.0 [5]

ActiveTrack 7.0 enables accurate subject tracking at any zoom level. Whether the subject moves through a crowd, across a stage, or behind obstacles, the Osmo Mobile 8 stays tenaciously locked on. You can easily switch focus between multiple people within the DJI Mimo app, while Dual Lens Boost [6] combines wide and telephoto lenses to intelligently re-locate subjects if they move out of frame, ensuring smooth, continuous footage of the subject.

DJI OM Multifunctional Module

Osmo Mobile 8’s Multifunctional Module [2] brings together subject tracking, audio reception [3], and fill light functionality to support more flexible creation.

Fill Light

A built-in fill light offers eight brightness levels and eight colour temperature settings, which are adjustable via the side wheel. The lighting provides natural-looking fill in any situation, from low-light indoor environments to outdoor live streams.

Audio Reception

Add a microphone from DJI’s ecosystem such as the DJI Mic 3, Mic Mini, or Mic 2 Transmitter [7] to achieve clear, immersive sound for live streaming, interviews, or vlogs [3].

Animal Tracking

The tracking system accurately follows pets [2], capturing everything from a dog’s quick sprinting to a cat’s stealthy movements.

Tracking Humans

You can activate human tracking by pressing the trigger or showing your palm to the camera. The gimbal locks on instantly and adjusts framing automatically.

Capture With a Gesture [8]

Easy Control for Dynamic Content

Osmo Mobile 8 supports 360° horizontal pan rotation for smooth, creative motion in your video. Combined with intelligent tracking, this enables professional-looking footage from any angle. The grip has been redesigned for comfort, particularly when shooting at low angles. Tilt the pan axis forward to capture perspectives from a lower level, with the gimbal automatically following children and pets [2].

Power Through Every Moment

The gimbal provides up to 10 hours [4] of operation per charge, which supports a full-day’s filming. With its USB-C port, Osmo Mobile 8 can also charge your smartphone, extending your recording time during live streams or longer activities.

Designed to be Easy While Inspiring Creativity

A built-in extension rod increases the field of view, which is ideal for group selfies or wide vlogging shots. The integrated tripod provides excellent stability [9], while folding away for easier transportation. The magnetic phone clamp allows quicker mounting too, by simply bringing your phone close, after which it locks automatically into place.

Side Control Wheel

The side wheel enables smooth zoom or focus [1] adjustments, along with control over the fill light’s brightness and colour temperature, for simplified operation within easy reach.

Start Easily With DJI Mimo

The DJI Mimo app connects with Osmo Mobile 8, in order to provide intuitive shooting options and one-tap editing tools. ActiveTrack 7.0 [5] and Dual Lens Boost [6] enhance tracking performance, maintaining stability even when filming action such as skateboarding or basketball. The app can automatically detect and follow multiple subjects, allowing quick switching between focus points with a single tap.

Intelligent Features with Enhanced Views

Powerful 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilisation

The Osmo Mobile 8 uses DJI’s 7th-generation stabilisation system for smooth, stabilised video. It ensures steady performance throughout different movements, while supporting both low and high angles. The technology enables intuitive control when performing circular or spinning shots, preserving every moment just as it happens.

Instant Switch Between Front and Rear Cameras

Triple-press the trigger to rotate your smartphone camera between front and rear views instantly. This makes it easy to transition between the subject and scenery without adjusting the mount or any settings, which is especially useful during vlog recording.
