Rank #5 in Best Gimbal Stabiliser 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Phone Gimbal + Mic Mini 2
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Osmo Mobile 8P + Mic Mini 2 Transmitter is a phone gimbal bundle: a three-axis stabiliser for a phone, sold with a DJI Mic Mini 2 wireless transmitter and receiver in the box. It sits at number 5 in this guide at £195.00, rated 4.2 out of 5 from 2,293 ratings, and the listing places it at number 2 in Amazon's Mobile Phone Handheld Gimbals & Stabilisers category. The box contents run to 20 listed items, from the Osmo FrameTap remote and the Multifunctional Module 2 to the mic's windscreen, magnetic clip and two spare magnetic front covers.
The finding on this page is in the battery rows. A bullet promises "10-Hour Battery Life*", and another says the gimbal charges your phone over USB-C, which is what you would expect from a device with a sealed rechargeable pack. The spec table underneath says something different: "1 C batteries required. (included)". A 10-hour runtime and a single C battery are not describing the same thing, and the listing does not reconcile them. Four of the six bullets carry asterisks, and the conditions behind them are not spelled out in the listing text we hold. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

Questions people ask
How long does the Osmo Mobile 8P battery last?

The box lists 20 items: the Osmo Mobile 8P, the DJI OM Magnetic Phone Clamp 5, the DJI OM Multifunctional Module 2, the Osmo FrameTap, a power cable, a phone charging cable, a storage pouch, the DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver, the DJI Mic Mini 2 Transmitter and its accessories, and a DJI Mic 3 magnet.
Does the Osmo Mobile 8P work with an iPhone?
The listing says a direct phone connection gives native tracking for quick set-up. One reviewer writes that it works natively with iPhone and that set-up is a doddle.
