Just eight months after introducing the Osmo Mobile 7 Pro<\/a>, DJI has already announced a follow-up. The new Osmo Mobile 8<\/a> doesn\u2019t reimagine the now well-established design of the company\u2019s smartphone stabilizers. But it introduces new functionality, including the ability to rotate and pan a smartphone a full 360 degrees, and support for Apple\u2019s DockKit<\/a>, giving the stabilizer another method to track and follow subjects autonomously while using a wider variety of camera apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Similar to other products that DJI announced this year<\/a>, the company hasn\u2019t finalized plans for a US or international release for the new Osmo Mobile 8. \u201cThe Osmo Mobile 8 is currently only available in China, and we do not have an estimated timeline for other markets at this time,\u201d according to DJI spokesperson Daisy Kong. Pricing for the stabilizer there is 898 Chinese Yuan, or around $126.<\/p>\n

The new OM8 features the same Multifunctional Module as the OM7, which attaches to the side of its now stronger and more secure magnetic phone mount. The module includes an LED fill light, doubles as a wireless receiver for DJI\u2019s wireless microphones<\/a>, and can track and keep subjects in frame by controlling the stabilizer\u2019s movements, no matter what camera app you\u2019re using. DJI has also upgraded the module\u2019s tracking capabilities to include dogs and cats.<\/p>\n

Battery life is still rated at up to 10 hours, and the OM8 carries forward its predecessor\u2019s built-in tripod legs and 8.4-inch telescoping extension rod. DJI has also added a counterweight mount so the gimbal remains balanced even when you use a smartphone with a large lens or when other bulky accessories are attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just eight months after introducing the Osmo Mobile 7 Pro, DJI has already announced a follow-up.
