Filming yourself while moving, with nobody behind the camera

DJI Osmo Mobile 8 Gimbal (Advanced Tracking Combo)

A tripod holds the phone still; this follows you. Three motorised axes smooth out walking and running shots, and the tracking is native — on iPhone it works through Apple DockKit, so the gimbal keeps you centred inside the normal camera app, Instagram or TikTok rather than only inside DJI's. The Advanced Tracking Combo adds the module that recognises people and pets, carries a fill light, and receives a DJI Mic. Extension rod and tripod legs fold out of the handle.

Pros

  • ✓ Native tracking: on iPhone it follows you inside the stock camera app, Instagram and TikTok, not just DJI's own
  • ✓ The Advanced combo's module recognises people and pets, adds a fill light, and takes a DJI Mic
  • ✓ 3-axis stabilisation smooth enough to walk or jog while filming
  • ✓ True 360° pan with no mechanical stop to unwind
  • ✓ Extension rod and tripod legs are built into the handle — nothing extra to carry

Cons

  • – The 10-hour battery is basic use; owners report about 5 hours with tracking on and 4 with the fill light up
  • – It powers on the moment the arm unfolds, so it wakes up by itself in a bag or a pocket
  • – The phone clamp attaches to the gimbal magnetically too — a knock can take the phone off
  • – No hard case and no wrist lanyard, both of which earlier Osmo models included
  • – DJI shipped an Osmo Mobile 8P within months, so check which one you are buying
