Meet the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P: Pro-Level Power With a Detachable Twist

DJI has officially pulled the curtain back on its latest stabilizer, the Osmo Mobile 8P. While the company is playing it a bit coy with what that “P” actually stands for—we’re all safely betting on “Pro”—the hardware itself does plenty of talking. This isn’t just another minor iteration; it introduces a legitimate game-changer for solo creators: a detachable remote control.

A Viewfinder in the Palm of Your Hand

The standout feature here is undoubtedly the removable remote. It features a built-in touchscreen that mirrors your phone’s camera view, effectively serving as a wireless secondary monitor. Coupled with an integrated joystick, this allows you to frame shots, pan, and tilt while standing several feet away from the tripod. It’s a massive win for creators who want to use their phone’s high-quality rear cameras for vlogging without flying blind.

Smarter Tracking and Seamless iPhone Integration

Under the hood, the Osmo Mobile 8P is powered by ActiveTrack 8.0. DJI claims this version is significantly more agile, making it much harder to lose a subject even when they’re moving through dense crowds or complex environments. iPhone users get a particularly smooth experience thanks to Apple DockKit support, which allows for a direct, native connection between the gimbal and iOS.

Built for Creative Versatility

Despite weighing just 386g, the Osmo Mobile 8P is packed with hardware designed to make mobile filmmaking feel effortless. Here’s what’s under the hood:

• Extended Reach: A built-in 215mm extension rod helps you nail those high-angle shots or fit the whole group into a selfie.
• Infinite Rotation: The 360-degree Infinite Spin feature allows for smooth, continuous horizontal rotation without hitting a physical stop.
• Low-Angle Specialist: The design makes it easier than ever to capture cinematic shots from a child’s or pet’s eye level.
• Power for Days: The 3,350 mAh battery offers roughly 10 hours of life and can even charge your smartphone via USB-C in a pinch.

Pricing and Kit Options

DJI is offering the Osmo Mobile 8P in three different configurations depending on how much extra utility you need:

• Standard Combo (€159): The core gimbal experience.
• Multifunctional Combo (€189): Adds the DJI Multifunctional Module 2, which includes an 8-level fill light and dedicated gesture-based tracking.
• Ultimate Creator Combo (€219): Includes everything above plus the DJI Mic Mini 2 for crystal-clear audio.
