DJI Unveils Osmo Mobile 8P with Detachable FrameTap Remote a

DJI has launched the Osmo Mobile 8P, a smartphone gimbal that introduces a modular design for mobile creators. The device features the Osmo FrameTap, a magnetically detachable module that functions as both a wireless remote and a live viewfinder. This addition allows users to monitor their shots and control the gimbal from a distance, addressing a common pain point for solo content creators who often struggle to see the screen while filming themselves.

The Osmo Mobile 8P includes ActiveTrack 8.0, the latest iteration of the company's subject-tracking technology. This software update improves the gimbal's ability to identify and follow people, pets, and moving vehicles with higher precision than previous models. For users with larger hardware, the stabilizer now accommodates smartphones up to 11mm thick, ensuring compatibility with rugged cases and modern flagship devices that have grown in size and weight.

Key Features of the Osmo Mobile 8P

Beyond the modular remote, the gimbal integrates several hardware refinements designed for daily use. A built-in extension rod remains a staple feature, allowing for higher angles and selfie-style shots. The included tripod has been redesigned for better stability on uneven surfaces, providing a more secure base for stationary filming. The device also supports Apple DockKit, which allows for deeper integration with iOS camera features and tracking capabilities directly through the native iPhone camera app without requiring the dedicated DJI Mimo software for basic operations.

Power is managed by a 3,350 mAh battery, which DJI states provides up to 10 hours of operating time on a single charge. This capacity is intended to cover a full day of casual filming or extended timelapse sessions. The charging process is handled via a standard USB-C port, making it easy to top up the battery using existing mobile chargers or power banks while in the field.

The Osmo Mobile 8P is available globally starting today, May 7, 2026, with a retail price of approximately $149 for the standard package. This entry price includes the gimbal, the Osmo FrameTap remote, a magnetic phone clamp, and the improved tripod. DJI continues to offer various accessory bundles for users who require additional lighting or external microphones for their mobile production setups.
