iGEEKPHONE News, April 21st: DJI Dronestore has officially launched the new generation of flagship panoramic shooting and follow-up handheld stabilizer – DJI Osmo Mobile 8P. With a completely new split remote control design, it defines the flagship follow-up shooting device.
This product continues the small, portable, stable shooting, long battery life and intelligent experience of the Osmo Mobile series. It has been comprehensively upgraded – equipped with a split remote controller: eliminating blind shooting and allowing you to control the entire creative process with one hand; paired with the multi-functional tracking module 2: enabling free locking of multiple main characters; advanced intelligent follow-up 8.0: capable of sensitive shooting in complex scenes.
Zhang Xiaonan, the spokesperson for DJI, said: “We have been continuously striving to create more intelligent and user-friendly handheld shooting devices for image creators. We have launched the new flagship mobile camera and follow-up stabilizer Osmo Mobile 8P, hoping to offer a new split-remote control form, more powerful intelligent tracking, and a freer creative angle, enabling creators to precisely frame their shots and capture the beauty.”
The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P innovatively adopts a split remote controller design. Within a distance of 10 meters from the gimbal, you can directly control the gimbal for taking photos, recording videos, switching between portrait and landscape modes, adjusting the composition, gimbal parameters, modes, as well as adjusting the brightness and color temperature of the lighting.
Meanwhile, the footage captured by the mobile phone or the multi-functional tracking module 2 can also be projected onto the screen of the remote control. Whether for remote recording or post-selfie shooting, the composition is always clear at a glance. Truly achieving “the picture is in hand, the composition is in control”, and easily handling scenarios such as self-portraits and group shots.
Osmo Mobile 8P supports three following modes: DJI Mimo intelligent follow-up 8.0, multi-functional tracking module 2, and direct mobile phone connection for intelligent tracking, meeting various shooting needs.
The DJI Mimo app has been upgraded to version 8.0, offering an even more sensitive intelligent follow-up experience: In crowded venues such as stadiums, exhibitions, and concerts, the gimbal can still accurately focus on the main subject without losing it; whether it’s graceful dance moves or vigorous walking styles, the intelligent algorithm can continuously capture them, ensuring that every moment of excitement is firmly captured in the frame.
The main character following function enables the camera to automatically detect and smoothly follow the subject, keeping you firmly in the center of attention throughout the entire process. The dual-camera enhanced following feature can activate the collaboration of the phone’s wide-angle and telephoto lenses for coordinated following, locking onto fast-moving targets within a larger area. Even if the subject goes out of frame, it can intelligently retrieve them, and still be able to stably capture the exciting moments in sports scenarios such as skateboarding and basketball.
The brand-new multi-functional tracking module 2 not only follows people and cats/dogs, but also can lock onto items or vehicles. Whether it’s trendy toys, beautiful cars, or the buildings along the way, the good things in your eyes can also make the Osmo Mobile 8P “fix its gaze” on them.
It is worth noting that the remote control screen will also automatically display the main subject detection box. Clicking on it will select the main character and immediately start the follow-up shooting. You can also smoothly switch the follow-up object among multiple people and shoot a big scene featuring the main character in the center.
In terms of direct mobile phone connection, Osmo Mobile 8P supports Apple DockKit. iPhone users simply need to gently place their phone against the NFC sensing area of the gimbal, and the Bluetooth pairing will be initiated. Once magnetically fixed, the follow mode can be activated at any time.
It also supports the HarmonyOS intelligent auto-focus function. On Huawei mobile phones running HarmonyOS 6 or above, when using the system camera or invoking the camera functions of popular social media applications, smooth intelligent tracking of the main character can be achieved.
Users can also pair it with the OM magnetic quick-release back cover, which makes the disassembly and assembly process much easier, allowing them to enjoy a smooth creative experience anytime and anywhere.
In addition, the Osmo Mobile 8P adopts the 8th-generation three-axis stabilization technology, which not only enables lossless stabilization but also allows for more shooting techniques such as switching between different camera positions. It can handle both overhead and low-angle shots with ease.
The Osmo Mobile 8P comes with an internal extendable arm, which enables a wider field of view. When taking selfies, friends, cute pets and beautiful scenery can all be easily captured in the frame; when shooting vlogs, shooting from a low angle or from a bird’s-eye view can provide more space, making it easier to include more diverse visual content.
The cloud platform and the tripod have been combined into one. It is effortless for a single person to shoot with it, and it is also convenient and hassle-free to store. The upgraded tripod has a wider opening range and is more stable when placed. The magnetic phone holder 5 can accommodate mainstream flagship mobile phones.
In terms of battery life, the Osmo Mobile 8P can operate continuously for 10 hours, and the gimbal can also serve as a “power bank” to charge the phone.
Osmo Mobile 8P is user-friendly for beginners, featuring gesture control, assistive composition, shooting guidance, AI one-click shooting, built-in filters, and other functions. It also enables 360° panoramic shooting, low-angle camera movement, movie-style slow shutter, dynamic zoom, wide-screen shooting, and other creative camera movements, making the creative process more enjoyable.
Starting from today, Osmo Mobile 8P is officially available for purchase on the DJI Dronelink official store, JD.com, Tmall, Suning E-commerce, as well as offline authorized experience stores.
