May 7, 2026 – DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announced the Osmo Mobile 8P. With further enhanced framing and tracking capabilities, this product enables more precise and efficient smartphone shooting.
The Osmo Mobile 8P now features a new detachable Osmo FrameTap remote control. This remote allows for accurate remote selfie shooting while checking and adjusting composition. Meanwhile, the enhanced tracking function, ActiveTrack 8.0[1], keeps subjects in frame even in complex crowds, demonstrating excellent tracking performance. Additionally, by using Apple DockKit[1], iPhones can be directly connected to the Osmo Mobile 8P, allowing tracking to be performed even with the smartphone's camera app.
Precise Control in the Palm of Your Hand
The newly equipped detachable Osmo FrameTap remote control allows for rear-camera selfie shooting and remote shooting from a distance, enabling high-quality video capture with your preferred composition. This remote control features a screen that mirrors the footage from your smartphone or the Osmo Mobile 8P's multi-function module 2[1]. It also includes a joystick, allowing precise and intuitive control of gimbal movements and zoom directly from the remote. Furthermore, the auxiliary light on the multi-function module 2 can be adjusted across 8 levels of brightness and color temperature. Thanks to its magnetic design, it can be quickly and easily attached to or removed from the gimbal handle.
Enhanced Tracking for Any Subject
The Osmo Mobile 8P offers multiple tracking methods. When used with the new multi-function module 2[1], the Osmo Mobile 8P can track not only people and pets but also other subjects like cars and landmarks, keeping them centered in the frame.
Additionally, the DJI Mimo app allows access to the ActiveTrack 8.0[1] tracking function. This further enhances the mobility of subject tracking, keeping the subject in the center of the frame without losing it, even in crowded environments like concerts or sports events. It is particularly effective for shooting while avoiding obstacles or responding to rapid movements.
Furthermore, the Osmo Mobile 8P is compatible with Apple DockKit. iPhone users can smoothly track subjects directly through their camera app.
Integrated Design, Advanced Stabilization Mechanism
The Osmo Mobile 8P's 3-axis gimbal utilizes DJI's 8th generation stabilization mechanism, ensuring stable footage even in dynamic and moving scenes. Weighing approximately 386 g, it features a built-in tripod and a 215 mm extension rod. The tripod has wider legs, allowing the gimbal to stand stably in any location. It also offers a maximum battery life of up to 10 hours[1]. The gimbal is equipped with a USB-C port, allowing it to charge smartphones, making it ideal for long outdoor shoots or live streaming.
Creative Shooting Modes for Cinematic Production
The DJI Mimo app supports a variety of cinematic modes, enabling users to transform everyday scenes into professional, impressive footage with simple and intuitive operations.
DynamicZoom recreates cinematic visual effects where space expands and contracts, using modes like move-in and move-out.
Slow Shutter is ideal for night scenes or low-light situations, capturing mystical light trails where "stillness" and "motion" intersect.
Action Shot keeps agile subjects like athletes or dancers consistently in the center of the screen, tracking them quickly and smoothly.
Widescreen mode records in the classic 2.35:1 format, allowing for sophisticated, cinematic footage without the need for post-editing cropping.
Flexible Shooting Angles
The gimbal can rotate 360° horizontally without limits, allowing continuous tracking of moving subjects when using the tracking function. This enables the capture of professional-level dynamic footage in a single shot, without the need for splicing. Additionally, the pan axis can be tilted forward, making low-angle shooting easier and allowing users to capture the world from the perspective of children or pets.
