The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 20,000, with a 3-axis gimbal, unlimited 360-degree panning, ActiveTrack 7.0 subject tracking and a battery rated for about 10 hours. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The package includes the gimbal, the magnetic phone clamp and the tracking module, so you can start filming the day you collect it. Pick up the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 at our shop on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered. We confirm stock on WhatsApp before you travel.
Designed for content creators, estate agents, sales teams and journalists, the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 fixes the shaky footage that handheld filming produces. A gimbal is a motorised handle that keeps your phone level while your hands move, so a walk through a Westlands showroom or along a busy Kimathi Street pavement looks smooth instead of jerky. The tracking module follows a subject you choose, which lets a solo creator film a product demo, a talk to camera or a family event without an assistant. Because the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 pan axis turns without limit, you can circle a subject and keep recording, which short clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts often need.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International sells sealed stock backed by a 12-month warranty and a service desk you can walk into. Customers across Nairobi tell us the first thing they notice is footage that stays level on the move, and the second is how neatly the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 folds into a bag. If you want to spend less, compare it with the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P at KSh 16,500. Visit Monday through Saturday, pay by M-Pesa or cash, and try your own phone in the clamp first.
Common Questions About the DJI Osmo Mobile 8
How much is the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 in Kenya?
The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 costs KSh 20,000, sold sealed by Mascom International in Nairobi. That price includes the 12-month warranty, the tracking module, the magnetic clamp and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. A wall charger is not in the package, so any 10W USB-C charger or power bank works. The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P costs KSh 3,500 less, and the Osmo Mobile 8P combos cost KSh 6,500 to KSh 10,500 more.
How does the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 compare with the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P?
The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 costs KSh 3,500 more than the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P and adds a pan axis that rotates without limit. The Osmo Mobile 7P pans across a 309-degree range, then stops. Both use a 3350mAh battery rated for about 10 hours and both run ActiveTrack 7.0. The Osmo Mobile 8 also has a newer magnetic clamp made for phones with large camera modules. Choose it for orbit shots and big-camera phones, and choose the 7P to save KSh 3,500.
Will the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 fit my phone?
The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 holds phones from 67 to 84 mm wide, 6.9 to 10 mm thick and 170 to 300 g in weight. Most phones sold in Kenya today fall inside those limits. Measure your phone with its case on, because a thick rugged case can push the thickness past the limit. The magnetic clamp snaps on and off in seconds, so you can switch from filming back to normal use quickly. If your phone sits close to a limit, bring it to the store and we will test the fit with you.
Is the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 practical with KPLC power cuts and Kenyan weather?
A full charge of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 takes about 2.5 hours from a 10W USB-C charger, and DJI rates the battery at about 10 hours of level, stationary use. During a KPLC power cut, top it up from a power bank. The gimbal works from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, which suits Nairobi mornings and Mombasa afternoons, but keep it dry. With tracking switched on, expect fewer hours than the 10-hour figure. For a full day of shooting, charge the night before and carry a power bank in your bag.
Can the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 follow me while I film alone?
Yes. The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 uses ActiveTrack 7.0 through its tracking module, so you pick a subject in the DJI Mimo app and the gimbal turns to keep that person or object in frame. This suits estate agents filming a house walk-through and sales teams recording product demos. The module also carries a fill light with adjustable brightness and colour temperature for indoor shops and offices. Download the app over Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom data, or on Wi-Fi, before your first shoot.
Who should buy the DJI Osmo Mobile 8, and who should skip it?
Buy the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 if you film with your phone often and want tracking, a built-in extension rod and unlimited panning in one folding unit. It suits content creators, event videographers and journalists. Skip it if you film with a mirrorless camera, because the DJI RS 3 Mini at KSh 38,000 carries a camera instead. Skip it as well if you film rarely, because the DJI Osmo Mobile 7 at KSh 13,000 stabilizes the same way for KSh 7,000 less.
Is the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 good for TikTok, Reels and YouTube creators?
Yes, because it keeps vertical and horizontal clips level while you walk. Unlimited panning allows 360-degree orbit shots around a person or product, and the built-in extension rod tilts the gimbal forward for low-angle shots. It also suits street-food reviews and shop walk-throughs. Pair the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 with a wireless microphone such as the DJI Mic Mini at KSh 14,000, since clear voice matters as much as steady picture. Together the two cost KSh 34,000.
How do the built-in tripod and extension rod work on the DJI Osmo Mobile 8?
The DJI Osmo Mobile 8 has a built-in tripod, so you can stand it on a table or shelf and film yourself without carrying a separate stand. The built-in extension rod tilts the gimbal forward for low-angle shots. Folded, the unit measures 190 by 95 by 46 mm and weighs about 370 g, so it slips into a handbag or a backpack for a matatu ride across town. Unfold it, clip your phone into the magnetic clamp and open the DJI Mimo app to start recording.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- 3-axis stabilization — motors on the pan, tilt and roll axes cancel hand shake, so walking shots stay level instead of bouncing.
- Unlimited pan rotation — the pan axis turns past 360 degrees without stopping, which allows full orbit shots around a person or product.
- Gimbal control range — roll from −77 to 255 degrees and tilt from −224 to 100 degrees, which opens up high, low and sideways angles.
- Control speed of up to 120 degrees per second — this sets how quickly the gimbal can turn to follow a moving subject.
- ActiveTrack 7.0 — DJI's subject-tracking system; you select a person or object and the gimbal turns to keep it in frame.
- Tracking module — brings tracking, audio recording and a fill light with adjustable brightness and colour temperature into one attachment.
- DJI Mimo app — the companion app where you pick a subject and control recording from your phone screen.
Compatibility
- Phone width 67 to 84 mm — the clamp opens wide enough for most phones in common use today.
- Phone thickness 6.9 to 10 mm — measure with your case on, since a thick rugged case can exceed the limit.
- Phone weight 170 to 300 g — stay inside this range so the motors can hold the phone steady.
- Magnetic clamp — the fourth-generation OM Magnetic Phone Clamp 4 holds phones with large camera modules and attaches by magnet in seconds.
- Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi — wireless links between the gimbal and the phone, with no cable needed for control.
- iPhone and Android — the brand does not matter as long as the phone fits the width, thickness and weight limits.
- Phone charging — a USB-C connection can charge your phone from the gimbal battery, though this shortens gimbal runtime.
Build
- Weight about 370 g with the built-in tripod, clamp and tracking module fitted — rest your elbow against your body on long shoots.
- Folded size 190 × 95 × 46 mm — small enough for a handbag or a camera bag.
- Unfolded size 288 × 107 × 96 mm — the working size once the arm and handle are open.
- Built-in tripod — stands the gimbal on a table or shelf for self-filmed videos.
- Built-in extension rod — tilts the gimbal forward for low-angle shots.
- Operating temperature 0 to 40 degrees Celsius — suited to everyday outdoor filming in warm weather.
- Charging temperature 5 to 40 degrees Celsius — charge it in a normal room, not inside a hot or cold car.
Inclusions
- Built-in 3350mAh Li-Po battery — about 12 Wh of storage in a cell that stays inside the handle.
- Battery runtime of about 10 hours — DJI's figure for level, stationary use, so expect fewer hours with tracking on.
- Charging time of about 2.5 hours — measured with a 10W USB-C charger, which is the speed to plan around.
- OM Magnetic Phone Clamp 4 — ships with the gimbal, so you can mount your phone straight away.
- Multifunctional tracking module — included, and it provides tracking, audio recording and the fill light.
- USB-C charging cable — the cable for the gimbal is in the box; the wall charger is bought separately.
Package Contents
