DJI's Osmo Mobile line turns any smartphone into a stabilised, cinema-smooth camera on a compact 3-axis gimbal. Whether you're vlogging around Nairobi, filming a wedding, or just want steadier Instagram Reels, the Osmo Mobile SE, 7, 7P and 8 all fold flat, pair with the DJI Mimo app, and give you smart tracking, cinematic pan/tilt moves and up to 10 hours of use on a single charge — trewrld stocks the full current lineup so you can pick the exact feature set you need.
Which DJI Osmo Mobile should you buy?
Osmo Mobile SE (KES 15,000) is the budget pick — a lightweight, foldable gimbal with magnetic quick-release and roughly 8 hours of battery life. Best for anyone who just wants smoother handheld video without paying for extras.
Osmo Mobile 7 (KES 16,000) steps up to DJI's 7th-generation stabilisation, a wider mechanical pan/tilt/roll range and ~10 hours of battery life, without the built-in extension rod.
Osmo Mobile 7P (KES 19,500) adds a built-in, magnetically-locking extension rod (215 mm) and intelligent auto-balancing attachment, making it the pick for solo creators who film selfie-style or need extra reach for group shots.
Osmo Mobile 8 (KES 22,500) is the flagship — unlimited 360° pan rotation (versus the mechanical limits on 7/7P), the same 215 mm built-in extension rod, and support for direct native-camera tracking plus Apple DockKit compatibility across 200+ iOS apps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the real difference between the Osmo Mobile 7 and 7P?
The 7P adds a built-in 215 mm extension rod with magnetic auto-balancing attachment and weighs about 68 g more than the 7, which has no built-in rod. Stabilisation and battery life are otherwise the same.
Is the Osmo Mobile 8 worth the upgrade over the 7P?
The main upgrade is unlimited 360° pan rotation versus the 7/7P's mechanical pan limit, plus native-camera tracking and Apple DockKit support for iOS. If you rely on 360° pans or third-party camera apps, the 8 is the better pick; otherwise the 7P offers nearly identical hardware for less.
Does the Osmo Mobile SE work with all phones?
It's built for phones weighing 170–290 g, 6.9–10 mm thick and 67–84 mm wide. Most current iPhones and Android flagships fit; very large or heavy phones (some Ultra/Pro Max models with cases) may exceed the clamp's limits.
How long does the battery last?
The SE runs about 8 hours; the 7, 7P and 8 all run about 10 hours in normal use (measured with the gimbal balanced and stationary). Using the gimbal to charge your phone, or running intelligent tracking with the fill light on, will shorten this.
Can I charge my phone from the gimbal?
Yes — all four models support phone charging through the gimbal over USB-C, though this will reduce the gimbal's own runtime.
