Question 1

Which phones are compatible with the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P?

Accepted Answer

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P fits phones weighing 170 to 300 g, with a width of 67 to 84 mm and a thickness of 6.9 to 11 mm. That thickness includes the case, so a slim case can stay fitted if the combined size remains within the stated range. Large camera modules, heavy cases or add-on lenses can shift the balance, so the magnetic clamp should sit close to the centre of the phone before mounting. DJI recommends checking the official smartphone compatibility list for app and feature support.

Question 2

What does Osmo FrameTap do?

Accepted Answer

The Osmo FrameTap is the detachable touchscreen remote included with this kit. Attached to the handle, it provides a screen, joystick, and shutter button for normal handheld control. Detached from the handle, it can mirror your phone screen from up to 25m, so you can stand in front of the camera and still check framing. The remote control operates up to 10m away, which is useful when the gimbal is mounted on its tripod.

Question 3

Can the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P track subjects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the DJI Mimo app, ActiveTrack 8.0 can follow selected people, pets or objects by moving the gimbal as the subject changes position in the frame. Tracking can start from the trigger, joystick, a detection box, a drawn box on the screen or supported hand gestures. Compatible iPhones can also use Apple DockKit for person tracking in the native camera app and supported third-party apps. Gesture control requires the person to face the camera at a distance of 0.5 to 4 m and hold the gesture for 1 to 2 seconds.

Question 4

Can I use an Apple Watch with the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The DJI Mimo app supports live preview and control on compatible Apple Watch models, providing access to photo capture, video recording, a virtual gimbal joystick, ActiveTrack, portrait-to-landscape switching, and recentring. In an open, unobstructed area, the remote control and video transmission distance is generally within 8m. The watch preview is for framing rather than final image quality, so the live view can look different from the phone camera feed. The recorded photo or video still comes from the phone itself.

Question 5

Is the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P waterproof?

Accepted Answer

No. The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P and Osmo FrameTap are not waterproof. Rain, spray and wet surfaces should be avoided because moisture can reach the motors, contacts, touchscreen or USB-C ports. The built-in tripod works on stable, level surfaces in windless conditions. For uneven ground, the 1/4″-20 UNC port on the bottom of the handle can connect the gimbal to a compatible tripod.
