• An unboxing of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 has appeared
• It could be launching in the coming days and weeks
• The gimbal succeeds the Osmo Mobile 7 and Osmo Mobile 7P

It seems that the successor to the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P is imminent, although nothing is official yet. In fact the launch of the Osmo Mobile 8 is now so close, a leaked unboxing video has made its way online.

The video comes courtesy of Camera Joint on TikTok (via Igor Bogdanov) and shows the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 from all angles. We also get to see it in operation with a phone attached, following people as they move around the room.

There’s a built-in LED light here and the ability to charge a phone, as there is on the current model. The top of the gimbal is now much more extendable too, so you can use it in a wider variety of positions.

It’s difficult to predict what other upgrades we might see. The obvious area to improve on a camera gimbal is battery life, but the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P and Osmo Mobile 7 were no slouches in that regard, both offering about 10 hours between charges.

Dates and pricing

We haven’t heard too much in the way of previous leaks when it comes to the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 – other than rumors that its due in November. We might also see the DJI Neo 2 and the Mic 3 Pro at the same time, according to those in the know.

Pricing is of course going to be crucial. The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P launched at a starting price of $149 / £135 / AU$219, while the lighter Osmo Mobile 7, without module support, first went on sale at $89 / £85 / AU$159.

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 is more likely to be priced around the more expensive of those two price points, given the AI tracking and lighting capabilities. That there’s now an unboxing in the wild suggests boxes have already made their way to retailers.

This will be just one more launch in what’s already been a hectic 2025 for DJI. Among the products that the company has already released we’ve had the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, the DJI Osmo 360, and the DJI Mini 5 Pro.
