DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Smartphone Gimbal is a 3-axis stabiliser designed to transform your smartphone into a professional-grade filming tool, whether you're shooting commercial content, vlogs, or everyday social media posts. Built for creators who demand smooth, cinematic footage without lugging around heavy camera rigs, this gimbal combines intelligent tracking with practical features like a magnetic phone clamp (supporting devices up to 84mm wide and weighing up to 300g), a built-in extension rod, and the new Multifunctional Module that adds gesture control, fill lighting, and enhanced subject tracking. It's the kind of tool that works equally well for professional videographers capturing client work and content creators filming their daily lives.

Quick Setup and Magnetic Mounting

The Osmo Mobile 8 gets you filming fast with its unfold-and-shoot design. The magnetic phone clamp grips smartphones up to 84mm wide without needing to remove your case, while intelligent sensors automatically detect and balance your device. iPhone users can upgrade to the optional DJI OM Magnetic quick release mount for even faster switching between shots. An integrated tripod and 216mm extension rod give you versatile shooting angles from ground level to overhead perspectives.

Multifunctional Module

The included Multifunctional Module transforms how you control the gimbal, adding features that work with your phone's native camera app or third-party apps, not just DJI's Mimo software. Key capabilities include:

• Gesture control for hands-free operation (palm to start/stop tracking, V-sign for photos/recording, double-L to reframe)
• Built-in fill light with eight brightness levels and adjustable colour temperature for improved low-light shooting
• Bluetooth connectivity supporting up to two DJI Mic 2, Mic 3, or Mini transmitters without requiring separate receivers
• Enhanced tracking that works across multiple camera applications

ActiveTrack 7.0 and Subject Tracking

The updated ActiveTrack 7.0 technology automatically recognises and follows human and pet body shapes without manual selection, maintaining smooth tracking even when subjects temporarily leave the frame. The system uses automatic zooming and gimbal movements to keep your subject centred, while the dual-lens boost function leverages both wide-angle and telephoto smartphone cameras to track fast-moving subjects across larger areas. When filming multiple subjects, Smart Capture lets you switch focus with a simple tap on your screen.

Intuitive Controls and Creative Modes

Physical controls include an integrated joystick, side wheel for focal length adjustment and zoom control via Bluetooth 5.3, and a trigger button for quick camera switching. The gimbal offers 360-degree panning with a mechanical range and 120-degree-per-second control speed. Creative shooting modes expand your capabilities with time-lapse, motion-lapse, hyper-lapse, three panorama modes, and DynamicZoom effects for professional-looking results.

Battery Performance and Phone Charging

An integrated rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous operation, recharging fully in 2.5 hours via the included USB-C cable. Runtime reduces to five hours when using the Multifunctional Module's intelligent tracking, or four hours with the fill light at maximum brightness. The USB-C port doubles as a power output to charge your smartphone when the gimbal is powered off, keeping your devices ready throughout extended shooting sessions.

DJI Mimo App Integration

The companion Mimo app (compatible with iOS and Android) unlocks the gimbal's full potential with AI-powered one-tap editing, exclusive video templates, and ShotGuides that analyse your environment and recommend shot sequences with guided tutorials. Apple Watch users can view the camera feed, control the gimbal, and enable ActiveTrack remotely from their wrist.
