Measure the mounted phone

DJI lists a 170–300 g supported phone weight and 67–84 mm phone width for the compared range. Check thickness, case and camera-module protrusion as well. A thick protective case or detachable lens can push the handset outside its intended balance and grip limits.

Understand DockKit

DJI’s Osmo Mobile 8 support page documents DockKit native tracking for compatible iPhones. Its stated requirement is iPhone 12 or later on iOS 18.5 or later, excluding iPhone SE (third generation) and iPhone 16e under the published guidance. The 8 and 8P are the relevant DockKit-capable models in this comparison.

Mimo tracking differs

DJI Mimo has its own shooting and supported tracking features. Don’t assume every native iPhone camera function works the same way in Mimo or vice versa. Confirm the specific app used for recording, the iOS version and whether an accessory module is needed for the workflow.

Match the features to your needs

The 7 and 7P can stabilize suitable iPhones for routine shooting. The 8 adds unlimited pan and compatible DockKit operation. The 8P adds the detachable FrameTap remote. If native-camera tracking does not matter, a cheaper model can be sufficient.

Frequently asked question

Does every iPhone support DJI DockKit?
