DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Gimbal Leaks in Retail Listing; Pro Model Rumored

Key Takeaways

1. DJI is expected to launch new smartphone camera gimbals soon, with the Osmo Mobile 8 confirmed by the FCC.
2. A Pro version, likely named Osmo Mobile 8P, is anticipated to accompany the standard model, similar to the previous Osmo Mobile 7P.
3. Features may include LiDAR technology, up to 12 hours of battery life, compatibility with DJI Mic, and support for ActiveTrack 8.0.
4. Third-party sellers are already listing the Osmo Mobile 8, indicating an imminent launch, with a brief price listing of $149.
5. The design and specific features of the Osmo Mobile 8 series remain unclear as of now.

New signs have come up regarding DJI’s upcoming refresh of its camera gimbals, with rumors hinting that it might happen as early as next month. To summarize, DJI’s unreleased smartphone camera gimbals were spotted on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in July. Although the FCC didn’t share many specifics beforehand, it did confirm that DJI is preparing to launch at least the Osmo Mobile 8.

Anticipated Models

The New Camera reports that a Pro version will likely accompany the standard model. For reference, in February, DJI introduced the Osmo Mobile 7P, a pricier option that featured enhancements like three-axis stabilization and an optional subject tracking module, along with the Osmo Mobile 7 (curr. $149 on Amazon). Therefore, we can expect the new Pro model to be named ‘Osmo Mobile 8P’ instead of Osmo Mobile 8 Pro.

Features and Battery Life

In addition, it’s anticipated that DJI will incorporate LiDAR technology across the series with a battery life of up to 12 hours, compatibility with the DJI Mic series, and possibly even support for ActiveTrack 8.0. As of now, it is unclear what the overall design and features of the Osmo Mobile 8 series will be. It’s worth mentioning that while a reseller has already listed the standard Osmo Mobile 8 in anticipation of DJI’s official announcement, the image used is actually from an Osmo Mobile 4.

Launch Expectations

Regardless, this listing indicates that third-party sellers are expecting a launch to happen soon. Furthermore, the Osmo Mobile 8 was briefly listed for $149. Unfortunately, it remains uncertain whether this price is a reliable indication or simply a speculative leak.
