DJI, widely recognized as the industry leader in drone and stabilization technology, continues to push the boundaries of mobile creativity with its latest announcement. On May 7, 2026, the company revealed the Osmo Mobile 8P, a higher‑end successor to the Osmo Mobile 8 that arrived roughly half a year earlier. This new model targets creators who demand more control and precision from their smartphone gimbals.

At the heart of the Osmo Mobile 8P is the detachable wireless touchscreen remote dubbed the Osmo FrameTap. The remote allows operators to adjust framing, start/stop recording, and access key settings without touching the phone, offering a smoother workflow for solo shooters and small crews. By separating the control interface from the gimbal handle, DJI aims to reduce hand fatigue and open up new shooting angles.

Stabilization receives a significant upgrade with the introduction of eighth‑generation technology, promising steadier footage even in dynamic environments. Complementing this is ActiveTrack 8.0, the latest iteration of DJI’s subject‑tracking algorithm, which promises faster lock‑on and more reliable follow‑through for moving subjects. These upgrades together enable creators to capture cinematic motion with minimal post‑production correction.

The Osmo Mobile 8P also features a redesigned 2nd‑Generation Multifunctional Module. While the source notes that this module “adds the ab…”, it is clear that DJI has expanded the gimbal’s connectivity and control options, giving users additional ways to integrate accessories such as lights
