  "textContent": "It's only been six months or so since I reviewed the DJI Osmo Mobile 8, which was an exceptional phone gimbal that introduced subject tracking across apps.\n\nDJI has announced its flagship successor, the Osmo Mobile 8P, which improves the tracking performance for every type of subject.\n\nIt has also included the Osmo FrameTap, a detachable remote with a screen that mirrors your smartphone view. A joystick gives precise control over the gimbal's movement and zoom, and you can adjust the fill light on the new Multifunctional Module 2 across eight brightness and temperature levels.\n\nThe magnetic design snaps on and off quickly, so it doesn't get in the way when you don't need it.\n\nThe new Multifunctional Module 2 goes beyond people and pets when it comes to subject-tracking, extending to general objects like cars and landmarks.\n\nActiveTrack 8.0, used through the DJI Mimo app, is tuned for busy environments like concerts and sporting events, handling fast movements and sudden obstructions more reliably than before.\n\niPhone users can also track subjects natively through their camera app via Apple DockKit, skipping the Mimo app entirely for simpler shoots.\n\nThe gimbal uses DJI's eighth-generation stabilisation and weighs approximately 386g.\n\nThe built-in tripod has been updated with a wider stance for better stability on uneven surfaces, and a 215mm extension rod is included.\n\nBattery life is rated at up to 10 hours, and the USB-C port doubles as a phone charger for extended outdoor sessions or live streams.\n\nThe DJI Mimo app includes several creative modes worth knowing about. DynamicZoom delivers the Hitchcock dolly-zoom effect, Slow Shutter captures light trails, Action Shot keeps fast-moving subjects centred, and Widescreen mode records natively in 2.35:1 for a cinematic look without any post-production cropping.\n\nThe 360° Infinite Spin allows unlimited horizontal rotation for panoramic capture, and tilting the pan axis forward enables low-angle perspectives at ground level.\n\nSpec| Details\n---|---\nWeight| ~386g\nStabilisation| 3-axis, 8th-gen\nBattery life| Up to 10 hours\nExtension rod| 215mm built-in\nCharging| USB-C (can charge phone)\nTracking| ActiveTrack 8.0 via DJI Mimo; Apple DockKit\nRemote| Osmo FrameTap (magnetic, detachable)\nObject tracking| People, pets, cars, landmarks, and general objects (with Module 2)\n\n## Pricing and availability\n\nThe DJI Osmo Mobile 8P is available now from DJI and authorised retail partners in Australia.\n\nThe Standard Combo, which includes the gimbal, DJI OM Magnetic Phone Clamp 5, and the Osmo FrameTap, is priced at $219.\n\nThe Advanced Tracking Combo adds the DJI OM Multifunctional Module 2 for $269. The Creator Combo bundles in a DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver and Mic Mini 2 Transmitter for $329.\n\n* * *\n\n### Latest camera accessory deals",
