DJI has announced the Osmo Mobile 8, a new smartphone gimbal that introduces several upgrades, including direct phone connectivity and an enhanced tracking module. The device is currently available for purchase in China.
The Osmo Mobile 8 retains DJI’s 3-axis stabilization system but now supports 360-degree unlimited horizontal rotation, enabling smooth panoramic photo and video capture while tracking subjects. It also includes a built-in extension rod, allowing users to tilt the gimbal forward for low-angle shots.

The new tracking module integrates subject tracking, audio recording, and a fill light with adjustable brightness and color temperature. The device offers up to 10 hours of battery life and can charge a smartphone via USB-C.
DJI’s fourth-generation magnetic clamp is stronger than before and accommodates larger, heavier phones. The gimbal supports ActiveTrack 7.0, which enhances tracking precision and stability. Through the DJI Mimo app, users can also enable dual-camera tracking.
