DJI launches the Osmo Mobile 8 – allowing anyone with a smartphone to create cinematic footage. The latest generation of DJI’s popular smartphone gimbal features a 360° horizontal pan rotation and ultra-comfortable grip for low-angle shooting capability, providing a new level of freedom and flexibility when shooting content on a smartphone. With intelligent subject tracking, the gimbal now allows creators to keep cats and dogs in addition to people in frame. The Multifunctional Module includes a microphone receiver compatible with DJI Mic 3, DJI Mic 2 and DJI Mic Mini transmitters, enabling high-quality audio capture, as well as adjustable built-in lighting options1 for creative scenes. Finally, an integrated extension rod and tripod provides flexibility without the need for additional accessories.

Track Subjects Three Different Ways
Osmo Mobile 8 offers three different subject-tracking methods, bringing freedom of composition to creators. For the first time, Osmo Mobile users with iPhones2 can also track subjects using Apple DockKit, Apple’s intelligent subject-tracking technology. This allows for subject tracking within the native iPhone camera app or any of the 200+ iOS applications compatible with Apple DockKit.

Supporting both iPhone and Android phones, the Osmo Mobile 8 Multifunctional Module is now able to track dogs and cats1 in addition to humans, making it possible to capture heartwarming moments with pets with little effort. Magnetically attached to the gimbal, the module’s tracking capability works across the native camera and livestreaming apps, and excels in multi-person scenarios, responding steadily to keep up with the selected target.

Finally, the DJI Mimo app for iOS and Android enables ActiveTrack 7.0.1, DJI’s proprietary advanced tracking technology that can now track people, pets, or objects. With Dual Lens Boost2, the app uses both a phone’s wide-angle and telephoto lenses together to ensure the subject is never lost, no matter how fast the movement or how crowded the scene. Meanwhile, Smart Capture can detect multiple subjects and makes it easy to switch between subjects, even in a complicated environment.

The Power of the DJI OM Multifunctional Module

In addition to subject tracking, the Multifunctional Module also features a fill light with eight levels of brightness and eight levels of color temperature. Controlled by a side wheel, creators can easily create the desired lighting effect and mood for the scene. A microphone receiver compatible with DJI Mic 3, DJI Mic 2 and DJI Mic Mini transmitters1 is built into the module, providing crystal-clear sound for livestreams and vlogs.

The Multifunctional Module can be easily attached to the gimbal with a simple magnetic clip. It can be controlled using hand gestures to take photos, start or stop recording, activate tracking, or adjust a composition.

Showing your palm to the module starts or stops intelligent tracking.
Making a “V” gesture takes a photo. It can also start or stop video recording.
Making a “Double L” gesture twice with two hands adjusts a subject’s framing.

Getting the Shot
The Osmo Mobile 8 is the first Osmo Mobile generation to offer a pan axis that supports 360° horizontal rotation, capturing smooth panoramic photos and videos from any angle. The gimbal can lock onto moving subjects with intelligent tracking, and the unlimited 360° rotation provides seamless, engaging footage. The Osmo Mobile 8 also offers an ultra-comfortable grip that enables low-angle shots, complementing the gimbal’s new ability to track pets and unlocking new creative perspectives.

Keeping Utility Front and Center
Osmo Mobile 8 utilizes DJI's seventh-generation, three-axis stabilization technology to provide consistent stability without compromising image quality. Creators can smoothly switch between the phone’s front and rear cameras with the gimbal, making stories more dynamic and vivid. Three presses on the gimbal’s trigger rotates the phone’s rear camera to face the user to enable rear camera selfies, achieving seamless transitions between subjects and scenery at the same high resolution image quality. It features an integrated tripod and a built-in extension rod, expanding the field of view to include more friends, pets, or scenery.

Weighing 370g, the Osmo Mobile 8 offers up to 10 hours of operating time, and can even charge a phone – ideal for extended outdoor filming and livestreaming.
