DJI's Osmo Mobile 8 adds pro-grade controls to a compact phone gimbal, pairing an analog control wheel and joystick with NFC-based focus control and wider cinematography options. New features include a fill light, subject tracking, and an infinitely rotating pan for continuous motion around the device, plus USB-C charging with pass-through to the phone. The OM8 also supports DJI Mics and 360-degree panning, and stays at a competitive price versus rivals like the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro. Build quality is robust for a pocket-sized stabilizer, with a long extension pole and a retractable tripod. Controls include a thumbwheel for focus, a thumbstick for framing, and three buttons. In real-world tests, it delivers smoother video and more stable motion for ambitious creators on a budget.
