DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Review: Remote Control Fix Makes It Top Smartphone Gimbal
TechRadar reviews the newly released DJI Osmo Mobile 8P, highlighting it as a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Osmo Mobile 8. The primary improvement is the inclusion of the Osmo FrameTap, a detachable magnetic remote control with a 1.4-inch touchscreen. This accessory addresses the previous model's major weakness by allowing users to frame shots, adjust pan and tilt, and trigger tracking without touching their phone screen. The remote supports Android natively and iOS via the Mimo app, offering a range of up to 25 meters. Additionally, the 8P features the second-generation AI Tracking Module, which enhances object tracking capabilities for vehicles and other subjects beyond just people and pets. While the physical design remains largely identical to the OM 8, including its foldable form factor and battery life, the new tracking and control options make it a leading choice in the market. Minor drawbacks include slightly less immediate control compared to the original and lack of built-in microphone support for the module. Overall, the review positions the Osmo Mobile 8P as the best folding smartphone gimbal currently available.
