The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P has been spotted in a fresh FCC filing, confirming that the next-generation 8P gimbal is on its way. Most importantly, if you are a content creator, blogger, or a smartphone filmmaker and you always have the itch to get the next big thing in your hand, or the best gimbal, better to say the budget gimbal available in the market, then obviously the most advanced upgrade with some Pro twist is finally coming.
A brand-new FCC certification has been uncovered for the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P (model DS508, FCC ID: 2ANDR-DS508), so the best part is that the 8P has already crossed the biggest hurdle – FCC ID registration. Now, after clearing the registration, DJI has approximately 180 days to announce the gimbal.
Now that you have the timeline, let’s dive into the details to explore everything further. And let’s unpack the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P rumors, specs, leaks, expected price, and release date based on the latest intel. If the Osmo Mobile 8 already wowed with 360° pans and pet tracking, the 8P could be the ultimate upgrade for creators.
Breaking Down the Leak: DJI Osmo Mobile 8P FCC Filing – What Does It Mean?
Just after having the details via the FCC ID, thanks to SaraCool_Drone for finding it out. Now, as we all know, no juicy external photos are available yet. Obviously, we can see only some parts of the gimbal, and now I’m waiting for sources to bring out the real and clear pictures of the upcoming gimbal.
The most important thing is that we have already seen with the DJI Osmo Mobile 8, a 360° rotating arm for a full swing shot. Now what’s next? What set of major improvements can we expect to witness in the Osmo Mobile 8P gimbal? Let’s see in the rumored specification list
Expected Specifications of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Gimbal
Based on October–December 2025 rumors from leaks and DJI patterns, the 8P isn’t a full redesign but focuses on pro-level refinements for vloggers/creators.
We have already seen a lot of improvement in the Osmo Mobile 8’s blueprint (360° rotation, ActiveTrack with pet smarts, and 10-hour battery). The latest rumoured specs of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P are below. No full teardown specification yet,
- Stabilisation & Motors: Fine-tuned/upgraded 3-axis gimbal with enhanced torque for heavier phones (170–300g, compatible with 6.9–10mm thickness, matching the Osmo Mobile 8). Buttery-smooth handling of high-frame-rate video like 4K/120fps slow-motion via the DJI Mimo app,
- Tracking Tech: Full ActiveTrack 8.0 rollout with LiDAR integration (teased for a 7 Pro and then for Osmo 8 and then held back) for depth-aware, low-light precision. Gesture controls, multi-subject (humans, pets, even vehicles)
- Battery Life: A massive 12 hours of runtime, with fast charging and phone passthrough.
- Build & Design: Lighter at ~320g, foldable with a magnetic 250mm extension rod for selfies or overheads. Forward-tilt pan for epic low-angle shots, plus a beefier magnetic clamp. Colors? Pro dark gray, natch.
So these are the initial set of core specifications that we are expecting from the upcoming Osmo Mobile 8P gimbal, and we are going to update this list as soon as we get any newly added information.
DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Expected Release Date – When Can You Get Your Hands on It?
Timing is everything, and DJI loves syncing with big tech waves, and if that really matters, then we should have it in and around CES 2026. But if DJI follows its previous pattern of gimbal announcements, then accordingly, the base Osmo Mobile 8 dropped on November 5, 2025, post-July filings (about 4 months). The Osmo Mobile 7 series? Filed in November 2024 and announced in February 2025 (around 3 months).
With this December 16, 2025, FCC filing, expect the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P announcement in late March to early April 2026 – perfect for spring sales and iPhone 18 hype.
DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Expected Price – Affordable Pro
Without a doubt, DJI always creates pocket friendly gimbals, and the 8P should follow suit. The base 8 retails at $149 (bundled with module/rod), up from the 7’s $75/$109 split. Leaks from TheNewCamera peg the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P price at $159–$179 USD – a $10–$30 bump for Pro perks like LiDAR and extended battery.
- Base Osmo Mobile 8: $149
- Base Osmo Mobile 8P (Expected): $159–$179
These are the initial set of information we have related to the upcoming DJI Osmo Mobile 8P smartphone gimbal. If we get anything new related to the same, we will update this post. Stay tuned
