Starting at just $329! DJI launches two new products: Buy a stabilizer and get a monitor for free? The experience is extraordinary

On April 21, 2026, DJI officially launched two new products in Shenzhen: the handheld smartphone stabilizer DJI Osmo Mobile 8P and the mini wireless microphone DJI Mic Mini 2. The predecessors of these two products are considered 'old friends' of Lei Technology (ID: leitech), as many videos and exhibition reports were shot using them. So, what's different about these new-generation products compared to the previous ones?
First up is the Osmo Mobile 8P. The core feature of DJI’s new product is its standard inclusion of a 'detachable remote control,' solving the pain point creators often face when shooting alone from a distance—having to repeatedly return to the host device to confirm composition and focus.

In terms of basic hardware, the device features the eighth-generation three-axis stabilization technology, an integrated extension rod, and supports reverse charging to smartphones by using the gimbal as a 'power bank,' with a total continuous operating time of up to 10 hours.
Of course, the upgrades to the Osmo Mobile 8P don't stop there.The new generation of Smart Follow 8.0 not only reacts more sensitively and moves more smoothly but also supports the 'Dual Camera Enhanced Follow' function.It can simultaneously utilize the smartphone's wide-angle and telephoto lenses to handle complex motion scenarios where targets exit the frame and need to be intelligently reacquired (such as basketball or skateboarding).

Additionally, the new multifunctional tracking module 2 expands recognition models. Beyond regular human and pet tracking, it now includes the ability to lock onto objects and vehicles and allows direct selection of targets on the remote controller screen for focus switching.
The Osmo Mobile 8P now supports the Apple DockKit protocol, enabling iPhone users to quickly pair via NFC and directly invoke native system tracking.At the same time, the device is compatible with Huawei HarmonyOS 6 and above, supporting native camera functions and intelligent focus tracking in mainstream social apps.
The Osmo Mobile 8P shows noticeable improvements over its predecessor in terms of functionality, and it also has unique innovations. As one of DJI's most popular products, it is expected to create another wave of enthusiasm in the smartphone stabilizer market.

The DJI Mic Mini 2, released alongside the stabilizer, has an extremely compressed microphone weight of just 11 grams. In practical usage scenarios (such as being clipped onto lightweight summer clothing), this significantly reduces the downward pull on garments that could cause misalignment of the microphone, ensuring consistent sound pickup.
The changes in appearance are also very significant.DJI offers 8 multi-colored magnetic front covers and 5 colored windproof fur covers for replacement.An artist collaboration version is also available, breaking the industrial stereotype of traditional recording equipment. For creators, they can now choose a microphone color that better matches their scene.

In terms of audio performance,the Mic Mini 2 supports high-quality audio recording at 48kHz 24-bit.To adapt to different vocal tones and environments, the device includes three built-in tone presets (default pure, rich bass, bright treble) and provides two levels of active noise cancellation for quiet indoor scenes (weak noise reduction) and noisy outdoor environments (strong noise reduction).
Additionally, the Mic Mini 2 supports an 'automatic limiter function' that reduces excessively high volumes, as well as a 'safety track function' that records a backup track at 6 dB lower, reducing the likelihood of unusable footage due to sudden loud noises during solo shooting.In two-transmitter-one-receiver mode, the range can reach up to 400 meters, and the mobile receiver supports transmission distances of up to 300 meters.When paired with the charging case, the entire system offers approximately 48 hours of total battery life.
