With the Multifunctional Module, subject tracking works in a phone's native camera app, as well as other third-party camera apps. The Module also unlocks gesture control, which includes gestures for taking a photo, starting or stopping a recording, and making framing adjustments. Additionally, the Module acts as a receiver for up to two DJI Mic 3, Mic 2, or Mic Mini transmitters, and has a fill light with eight brightness levels and an adjustable color temperature.

Gimbal hardware improvements include the ability to do full 360° horizontal pans at up to 120°/s, as well as a built-in extension rod that telescopes out 8.5", a handy tool for high- or low-angle shots. The Mobile 8's magnetic clamp works with phones up to 3.3" wide and weighing up to 300g. The new counterweight mounting holes on the back of the Mobile 8 will come in handy for particularly heavy phones or ones with large accessories. The Mobile 8 also has a USB-C output for charging phones, and the whole gimbal weighs only 370g.

Software-wise, expect a dual-lens boost function inside the Mimo app that utilizes both the wide-angle and telephoto lens for increased stabilization, plus an updated version of ActiveTrack 7.0 that can better track subjects over long distances. On top of those features, the Mobile 8 includes classic Osmo intelligent shooting modes like time-lapse, hyper-lapse, three different panorama styles, and more. Additionally, the Mimo app enables AI-powered editing and gimbal control from an Apple Watch.
