DJI’s next smartphone gimbal looks closer than ever. A new unboxing video shared by leakers Igor Bogdanov and Güçlü Atamer—originally posted on TikTok by Camera Joint—shows the Osmo Mobile 8 out in the wild, suggesting units are already reaching retailers. That lines up with chatter pointing to an official launch within the next few weeks.
The Osmo Mobile 8 is set to replace the Osmo Mobile 7, which currently sells for around $75, and it appears to inherit several premium touches from the higher-end Osmo Mobile 7P. The early footage highlights three standout features:
– A Multifunctional Module designed for advanced subject tracking, helping keep faces and moving subjects locked in frame.
– A built-in LED light for quick, flattering fill illumination when you’re shooting in dim environments.
– The ability to charge your smartphone directly from the gimbal—handy for long shoots or travel days.
While pricing hasn’t surfaced yet, retailer listings typically follow quickly once unboxing videos start circulating, so details on cost and bundles should be just around the corner.
If you’re into mobile videography, vlogging, or content creation on the go, the Osmo Mobile 8’s blend of smarter tracking, on-board lighting, and emergency phone power makes it an appealing upgrade path. With units already trickling into stores, keep an eye out for official availability and pricing announcements soon.
