DJI has a few new products, at least some with Osmo branding, to show off in the next week or so. The company has confirmed a 7 May event where it’ll put “wonders in your palm.”
Exactly what those wonders are remains to be seen, but speculation is that there’s a new version of the company’s Osmo Mobile 8 coming. The educated guess is based on the only item clearly seen in DJI’s announcement teaser, which looks suspiciously like a remote control.

The Chinese company could well announce the Osmo Mobile 8P, a higher-end version of its existing camera-toting gimbal. Details of that one were previously unearthed for the Chinese market, and it’s not like there’s no precedent. The Osmo Mobile 7 got a pricier 7P version after launch.
A better tripod system, the ability to hold thicker smartphones, and a combination remote control/magnetic display are just a few of the upgrades buyers can expect from the May 2026 event. There may be more coming, but it’s not immediately obvious from the teaser.
If you’re keen on tuning in, the 7 May event starts at 14h00 SAST (South African Standard Time). The mid-afternoon presentation is a pleasant alternative to doing your actual job, at least.
