Dji Osmo Mobile 8: the stabilized gimbal with DockKit tracking arrives at €159

DJI, already a leader in the drone market and increasingly in the home technology space, continues to invest in the content creation realm with the launch of the Osmo Mobile 8.

This smartphone gimbal goes beyond just enhancing your shots; it completely redefines them. With unlimited horizontal rotation at 360°, native compatibility with Apple DockKit, and an intelligent multifunction module, DJI is pushing the boundaries of mobile filming.

The outcome? Whether you’re vlogging, filming your pet, or recording a concert, your subject remains perfectly framed—and always sharp.

Three Tracking Technologies for Perfect Fluidity

This eighth generation brings a significant innovation: three distinct tracking modes. Firstly, the inclusion of Apple’s DockKit allows iPhone users to enjoy tracking directly in the Camera app or other compatible third-party applications. This is a game changer for iOS creators looking to film without the need for additional apps.

Next, DJI enhances its proprietary technology, ActiveTrack 7.0.1, which can now track both humans, animals, and objects, even in fast-moving situations or crowded settings.

Finally, the magnetic module comes equipped with intelligent gestures—a palm to activate tracking, a “V” to take a photo, or a double “L” to adjust framing. This intuitive interaction streamlines the experience, even for solo shooters.

A Multifunction Module Designed for Creators

DJI goes beyond a mere gimbal. Its multifunction module includes:

• An adjustable fill light (8 brightness levels, 8 color temperatures)
• An integrated audio receiver, compatible with the DJI Mic range (Mic 2, Mic 3, Mic Mini)
• An integrated tripod and extension bar for varying angles and including more subjects in the frame

All controllable by hand, without ever touching the screen. It’s all designed to unleash creativity.

Stabilization and Design Serving the Story

The Osmo Mobile 8 is not just a technological marvel; it offers a carefully crafted physical experience. Its new ergonomic grip makes low-angle shots easier, while its lightweight design (370 g) allows for prolonged use without fatigue. With a 10-hour battery life and the ability to charge your smartphone directly, it’s the ideal companion for outdoor filming.

For those with higher demands, the seventh-generation three-axis stabilization ensures smooth shots, even during fast movements.

A Clear and Accessible Value Proposition

Priced at €159, the Osmo Mobile 8 stands as a high-end creative tool at an accessible price. It is available now on the DJI store and through authorized retailers, complete with a set of additional accessories to enhance the experience.
