Specifications & Features

Three-Axis Gimbal Stabilization

The Osmo Mobile 8 mechanically stabilizes the pan, tilt and roll axes. It helps reduce unwanted camera movement without relying entirely on a smartphone’s electronic stabilization.

Stabilization features include:

• Seventh-generation stabilization technology
• Three-axis mechanical stabilization
• Smooth handheld recording
• Maximum control speed of 120° per second
• PF, PTF, FPV and SpinShot modes
• Portrait and landscape recording
• Smooth high-to-low-angle transitions
• Support for smartphones weighing up to 300g

The high-torque motors do not require precise balancing when the magnetic phone clamp is positioned near the centre of a compatible smartphone.

Unlimited 360-Degree Pan Rotation

Unlike earlier Osmo Mobile models with limited pan movement, the Osmo Mobile 8 supports continuous 360-degree horizontal rotation.

Movement specifications include:

• Pan: unlimited 360-degree rotation
• Roll control: −67° to 245°
• Tilt control: −20° to 40°
• Mechanical roll range: −77° to 255°
• Mechanical tilt range: −224° to 100°
• Maximum control speed: 120° per second

Unlimited pan rotation supports full-circle subject tracking, sweeping panoramic movement and creative orbit-style shots.

Human and Pet Tracking

The included Multifunctional Module can track people, cats and dogs in compatible camera, social media and video-calling applications.

Tracking features include:

• Human-subject tracking
• Cat and dog tracking
• Native-camera application support
• Compatible third-party app tracking
• Gesture controls
• Automatic subject framing
• Continuous tracking during movement
• Low-angle pet tracking
• Tracking for livestreams and video calls

Tracking performance may vary depending on lighting, subject visibility, movement and the connected smartphone.

Apple DockKit Tracking

Compatible iPhones can connect directly to the Osmo Mobile 8 through Apple DockKit. This enables tracking in the iPhone camera and supported third-party applications without mounting the Multifunctional Module.

Apple DockKit requirements include:

• iPhone 12 or newer
• iOS 18.5 or later
• Excludes iPhone SE third generation
• Excludes iPhone 16e
• Direct phone-to-gimbal connection
• Native camera tracking
• Compatible third-party application support

Apple DockKit tracking cannot be used simultaneously with DJI Mimo tracking or Multifunctional Module tracking.

DJI OM Multifunctional Module

The included Multifunctional Module combines intelligent tracking, fill lighting and audio reception in one compact accessory.

Module features include:

• Human and pet tracking
• Magnetic attachment
• Gesture control
• Integrated fill light
• Adjustable brightness
• Adjustable colour temperature
• Wireless microphone reception
• Support for compatible third-party applications
• Use with native smartphone cameras
• Livestreaming and video-call support

The module allows Android and iPhone users to access tracking outside the DJI Mimo app on supported devices and applications.

Gesture Control

Gesture commands make it easier for solo creators to operate the camera from a distance.

Supported functions include:

• Starting or stopping subject tracking
• Taking a photograph
• Starting or stopping video recording
• Adjusting subject framing
• Hands-free operation

Gesture control is useful for tutorials, dance videos, fitness content, group photographs and livestreaming.

Integrated Fill Light

The Multifunctional Module includes an adjustable fill light for improving subject visibility in indoor and low-light environments.

Lighting specifications include:

• Maximum illuminance of approximately 40 lux at 0.6 metres
• Colour-temperature range of 2500K–6000K
• Adjustable brightness
• Warm and cool lighting
• Suitable for faces and close-range subjects
• Side-wheel control

Continuous use of the fill light reduces the gimbal’s total battery runtime.

Wireless Microphone Reception

The Multifunctional Module can function as a wireless microphone receiver for compatible DJI transmitters.

Audio features include:

• DJI Mic Mini transmitter support
• DJI Mic 2 transmitter support
• Direct audio transfer to a connected smartphone
• Suitable for interviews and vlogging
• Useful for livestreaming
• Phone charging and audio cable included

A microphone transmitter is generally sold separately unless the buyer chooses an Osmo Mobile 8 Vlog Combo.

Built-In Extension Rod and Tripod

The integrated extension rod provides additional reach for selfies, group photographs and creative high- or low-angle recording.

Design features include:

• Maximum extension length of 215mm
• Integrated 67mm tripod
• Bottom 1/4-inch–20 UNC mounting port
• Hands-free filming
• Wider selfie framing
• High-angle recording
• Low-angle recording
• Compact integrated construction

The built-in tripod should be placed on a stable, level surface in calm conditions.

Comfortable Low-Angle Shooting

The redesigned grip and gimbal structure make it easier to move the camera close to the ground. This is useful when filming children, pets, sports, products or moving subjects from a lower perspective.

Low-angle advantages include:

• More comfortable wrist position
• Smooth high-to-low transitions
• Close-to-ground tracking
• Better pet-level framing
• Creative cinematic perspectives
• Reduced need to hold the gimbal upside down

Compact and Foldable Design

The Osmo Mobile 8 folds for storage and powers on automatically when unfolded.

Physical specifications include:

• Folded dimensions: 190 × 95 × 46mm
• Unfolded dimensions: 288 × 107 × 96mm
• Approximate weight: 370g
• Magnetic phone clamp
• Built-in tripod
• Built-in extension rod
• Quick-folding construction
• Automatic startup when unfolded
• Ash Black finish

The stated weight includes the gimbal, magnetic phone clamp, Multifunctional Module and integrated tripod.

Smartphone Compatibility

The magnetic phone clamp supports smartphones within DJI’s recommended dimensions.

Supported phone measurements include:

• Weight: 170–300g
• Width: 67–84mm
• Thickness: 6.9–10mm

Thick cases, external lenses, filters and other attached accessories may interfere with mounting or affect gimbal balance.

Battery Life and Charging

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 uses a 3,350mAh rechargeable battery.

Battery specifications include:

• 3,350mAh Li-Po battery
• 12.06Wh energy capacity
• Up to approximately 10 hours of operation
• Approximately 2.5-hour charging time
• USB Type-C charging
• Smartphone charging support
• Operating temperature of 0°C–40°C

With intelligent tracking enabled and the fill light switched off, operating time is approximately five hours. Tracking with maximum fill-light brightness reduces it to approximately four hours. Charging a phone also shortens the gimbal’s runtime.

DJI Mimo App and Creative Modes

The DJI Mimo app gives users access to tracking, camera movements, guided filming and editing features.

Available tools include:

• Intelligent subject tracking
• ShotGuides
• One-Tap Edit
• Timelapse
• Motionlapse
• Hyperlapse
• Panorama modes
• DynamicZoom
• SpinShot
• AI-powered templates
• Gimbal calibration
• Firmware updates
• Apple Watch remote control on compatible devices

Available recording features depend on the connected smartphone and operating system.
