DockKit Tracking

What is Apple DockKit?
Apple DockKit is a subject-tracking technology developed by Apple. Osmo Mobile 8 supports DockKit, allowing iOS users to leverage this feature without additional apps or accessories. This enables intelligent subject tracking in the native iPhone camera app and in third-party iOS apps supporting DockKit, such as Facebook, YouTube, and Blackmagic Camera.

Which iPhone models are compatible with Apple DockKit on this gimbal?
To use DockKit's native tracking features, you need a compatible Apple device—specifically, an iPhone 12 or later running iOS 18.5 or later, except iPhone SE (3rd generation) and iPhone 16e. For the best experience and latest features, we recommend updating to the newest version of iOS.

What should I do if I can't pair with Apple DockKit?
1. Make sure DockKit native tracking is ready:
Check that your phone has a stable network connection, and that both NFC and Bluetooth are turned on.
Confirm that your iPhone is an iPhone 12 or later, running iOS 18.5 or higher.
Ensure that the gimbal is not connected to another phone.
2. Restart the gimbal, then try pairing again using NFC.
3. If pairing still fails, reset the gimbal's Bluetooth and try NFC pairing again.

What should I do if Apple DockKit tracking won't activate?
1. Check the NFC connection between your iPhone and Osmo Mobile 8:
Go to the Bluetooth settings, find the ""OM8-XXXXXX-Dock"" device, and make sure it's successfully paired with your iPhone.
2. Check if DockKit native tracking is ready:
Confirm that your iPhone is an iPhone 12 or later, running iOS 18.5 or higher.
Ensure that the gimbal is not connected to another phone.
Check if the gimbal performs a nodding motion when your phone is mounted.
Check if the gimbal's function status indicator remains solid green or flashes green.
Ensure the gimbal is not mounted with a Multifunctional Module.
3. Ensure the app you're using supports DockKit native tracking (only apps related to camera functionality are supported).

How does the function status indicator work during Apple DockKit tracking?
1. Solid Green: DockKit is in standby mode and will automatically start tracking when a person enters the frame. 2. Slow Flashing Green: DockKit is actively tracking.

How does Apple DockKit select a subject to track?
1. If no head is visible, the gimbal will first detect a body, then tilt the camera upward to find and track the head.
2. If a person's head is blocked, the gimbal will turn to track other visible people.
3. If multiple people are detected, the gimbal will adjust the angle and composition to include as many people as possible.
4. When tracking a single person, if they turn their head or move, the gimbal will adjust to maintain the best framing.
5. When switching between the front and rear cameras, the gimbal will automatically rotate 180° to quickly reposition and continue tracking.
6. If the tracked subject is lost, the gimbal will immediately start tracking a new person who appears in the frame. (It cannot lock onto or return to the previous subject.)

After the first connection, do I need to relink Apple DockKit for future use?
Once you've connected for the first time, simply turn on Bluetooth and mount your phone on the gimbal. DockKit will connect automatically, and you won't need to use NFC pairing again.
If it does not connect automatically after a while, follow the initial setup steps to relink.

How can I remotely control Apple DockKit with my Apple Watch?
When your phone and gimbal are connected via DockKit, open the native camera app on your Apple Watch. You can then control the gimbal's rotation, enable intelligent tracking, and access other features.
