Quick answer: Buy the DJI Osmo Mobile 8 if you mostly hold the gimbal while filming: travel clips, family videos and walking vlogs. Buy the Osmo Mobile 8P if you often film yourself alone, because its detachable FrameTap remote screen lets you check framing and control the shot from a distance. Both have 3-axis stabilization, ActiveTrack 8.0, a built-in extension rod and tripod, and unlimited horizontal pan. The 8P Standard costs Rs. 5,500 more at Dynsol.pk.

The Real Difference: FrameTap
FrameTap is the main reason to pay more for the 8P. It is a detachable remote with a screen. When the phone is on the tripod across the room, you can see your framing and adjust the shot without walking back to the phone. That makes a real difference for solo YouTubers, TikTok and Reels creators, online sellers filming product demos, and teachers recording lessons.
DJI lists FrameTap with a 1.4-inch touchscreen (240 × 240, 800 nits) that weighs just 29g. It can show a live preview over Wi-Fi from up to 25 metres away, or up to 10 metres over Bluetooth, and its own battery gives up to about 4.5 hours of standby.
If someone else usually films you, or you mostly walk with the gimbal in your hand, FrameTap will spend most of its time unused. In that case the Osmo Mobile 8 gives you the same core stabilization and tracking for less.
Stabilization and Tracking
Both gimbals use 3-axis stabilization and support ActiveTrack 8.0 in the DJI Mimo app, so tracking a person while you walk or film yourself works on both. The 8P uses DJI's newer 8th-generation stabilization and supports the Multifunctional Module 2 for expanded tracking, such as vehicles and selected objects. Check whether your chosen package includes the module, and message us before ordering if you need it specifically.
iPhone users: DJI lists Apple DockKit support for the Osmo Mobile 8, which lets it track you inside the iPhone's own Camera app and other DockKit-compatible apps. DJI says this needs an iPhone 12 or later on iOS 18.5 or later (not iPhone SE 3rd generation or iPhone 16e), and the Multifunctional Module must be removed for DockKit tracking. If DockKit matters to you on the 8P, ask us before ordering.
Battery Life
DJI rates both at up to about 10 hours. That figure is measured with the gimbal balanced, level and stationary, without accessories. With intelligent tracking switched on, DJI's own figure drops to about 5 hours, and using the fill light or charging your phone from the gimbal reduces runtime further. For a long shoot, plan for less than the headline figure.

The 8P folds slightly thinner, while the Osmo Mobile 8 is a little shorter and narrower when folded. In a bag, the difference is small.
Will My Phone Fit?
Both accept phones from 170g to 300g and 67mm to 84mm wide. The 8P takes a slightly thicker phone (up to 11mm vs 10mm), which helps if you film with a case. Weigh and measure your phone with its case before buying. A phone fitting the clamp does not guarantee every app feature, so check DJI Mimo compatibility for your exact phone model.
