Image: DJI At the start of this week, 360 camera brand Insta360 announced it was entering the drone game, and now, drone giant DJI has announced a 360 camera. The Osmo 360 promises "the sharpest photos possible on the 360 camera market.
" It also claims a few firsts, including the first 360 camera to shoot 8K 50fps 360° video and the only 360 camera capable of recording continuously for 100 minutes in 8K 30fps.
DJI proudly boasts about the sensor found in the Osmo 360. It features two sensors that, when added together, result in around the same area as a Type 1 sensor. DJI says it is an "industry-first square HDR image sensor" that is specifically designed for 360° capture. It offers 13. 5 stops of dynamic range, which, when combined with the F1. 9 aperture, should help with capturing footage in low-light and high-contrast settings.

The Osmo 360 supports up to 8K 50fps 360° video, as well as 4K 100fps for slow motion needs. The camera can also record at up to 5K 60fps with a single lens when 360° video isn't necessary, resulting in a 155° field of view. Or, the Boost Video mode offers a 170° field of view at up to 4K 120fps. On the photo side of things, the Osmo 360 can capture 120MP 360° photos.

Beyond image quality, DJI also promises plenty of other benefits, including long battery life. DJI says it is capable of recording continuously for 100 minutes, even at 8K 30fps resolution, or 180 minutes with the Osmo 360 Battery Extension Rod accessory. It can also handle cold conditions, with over 1. 5 hours of recording possible in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Charging also promises to be fast, with 12 minutes of charging resulting in 50% battery.
The Osmo 360 also provides access to DJI's tracking and control features. Intelligent Tracking will lock onto and track people, vehicles, pets and more. It is compatible with gesture and voice control, and offers the company's RockSteady 3. 0 stabilization to reduce shake and smooth out video while moving. Users also have access to its HorizonSteady mode to automatically keep footage level.

Like the Insta360 360° cameras, the Osmo 360 hides the selfie stick in footage with no editing necessary. Users can edit content from the Osmo 360 on either the DJI Mimo or DJI Studio apps, or using the Premiere plugin. Additionally, the Osmo 360 offers 105GB of built-in storage.
The camera offers an IP68 waterproof rating and can be used at depths up to 10 meters (32. 8'). However, DJI says it is not recommended to use the camera body for long-term underwater shooting or with high water impact pressure. It also explained that the fisheye lens design will result in light refraction that may cause distortion and stitching errors when underwater.
Unfortunately for US customers, the DJI Osmo 360 will not be for sale in the US via official DJI channels. It added that it doesn't have a current timeline for when it will be available in the US.
For those outside of the US, the camera is available today. In Europe, the Standard Combo costs €480, while the Adventure Combo costs €630. In Canada, the Standard Combo is $430 while the Adventure Combo is $580 (the DJI Store can only accept USD, EUR and RMB).

DJI Revolutionizes 360 Camera Market with the Osmo 360
New 360 Camera Offers Industry-first Features Including 1-inch 360° Imaging and Native 8K 360° Video
July 31, 2025 - DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches the Osmo 360. As the company’s first foray into 360 cameras, the Osmo 360 delivers new imaging innovation to elevate existing industry standards, bringing creators the flexibility needed for any creative vision.
The Osmo 360 delivers the sharpest photos possible on the 360 camera market with 1-inch 360° imaging*. It is the first 360 camera to shoot ultra-high-spec 8K/50fps 360° video, and is the only 360 camera that can shoot continuously for 100 minutes in 8K/30fps*.
"With the Osmo 360, DJI is challenging the status quo of the 360 camera market," said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. "We are revolutionizing panoramic innovation by leveraging DJI’s long history of innovation in creative camera technology. With each technological breakthrough, from 1-inch 360° imaging with industry-first square HDR sensor, to outstanding low-light performance, we aim to change what’s possible in a 360 camera. "
Standout 1-inch 360° Image Quality and Native 8K 360° Video
Specially designed for 360° capture, the Osmo 360’s industry-first square HDR image sensor maintains the same 360° image field as a traditional 1-inch rectangular sensor, while eliminating the unused area of traditional rectangular sensors. This results in 25% more sensor utilization, as well as outstanding image quality and lower power consumption, all in an ultra-compact, lightweight camera body.
The Osmo 360 is also the first 360 camera to feature native 8K/30fps 360gh-spec 8K/50fps 360° video, Osmo 360 sets a new standard for video resolution in 360 cameras.
With an impressive 13. 5 stops of dynamic range, combined with the larger pixel size and f/1. 9 aperture, which significantly increases the amount of light intake, the Osmo 360 captures crisp, vibrant footage - even in low light settings or high-contrast scenes like sunrise and sunset.
Additional Creative Features:
Invisible Selfie Stick: The Osmo Invisible Selfie Stick vanishes from 360° videos with no editing needed, providing third-person views typically captured by a cameraman.
High Frame Rate Video: For those that want to capture split-second details at a high frame rate, the Osmo 360 can also shoot in 4K/100fps 360° video.
Slow Motion: Capture video in up to 4x slow motion mode to make every awe-inspiring moment last longer.
120 MP 360° Photo: To capture a single moment in time, users can take an ultra-clear 360° photo up to 120 megapixels, achieving razor-sharp detail for still images.
Gesture and Voice Control: Start or stop recording with a simple palm gesture, or use voice control to go hands-free.
HorizonSteady and RockSteady: With HorizonSteady enabled, the footage remains level no matter how the camera is rotated. In single-lens mode, RockSteady 3. 0 effectively reduces shakes while retaining the dynamic impact of motion, delivering a more immersive first-person perspective.
GyroFrame and Intelligent Tracking: DJI Mimo’s GyroFrame allows users to to adjust the 360° composition using motion control, while intelligent tracking makes it possible to lock onto and track people, vehicles, pets, and more.
Multi-Platform Editing Support: Edit videos with DJI Mimo or DJI Studio. DJI Studio offers a full suite of tools, and the Premiere plugin streamlines the workflow to create stunning 360° videos.
Performance as a Single Lens Action Camera
Effortlessly switch between the front and rear lenses without stopping recording - perfect for capturing travel vlogs in one seamless take. Osmo 360 can be used as a first-person action camera with single-lens mode, offering crisp 5K/60fps flat videos with a sweeping 155° ultra-wide angle. Boost Video mode provides an even broader 170° field of view and smooth 4K/120fps video.
Convenient to Carry, with Long Battery Life
For creators on the go, Osmo 360 prioritizes convenience with 105GB of built-in storage. Weighing just 183g, the advanced stacked design allows the camera to pack two large 1-inch 360 imaging lens modules into one, ultra-compact body. Moreover, the Osmo 360 is built to thrive in extreme conditions, capable of recording for over 1. 5 hours in freezing conditions as low as -20° C (-4° F)1. The battery can record continuously for 100 minutes* at 8K/30fps resolution, which can be extended for another 180 minutes* with the Osmo 360 Battery Extension Rod. In just 12 minutes, Osmo 360 reaches 50% power to ensure creators are never without a camera for long.
The Benefits of the DJI Ecosystem
Osmo 360’s magnetic quick release design works with Osmo Action series accessories, while also featuring a 1/4" thread hole for easy compatibility with traditional gear.
Osmo 360 offers the OsmoAudio™ Direct Microphone Connection*, allowing users to connect Osmo 360 directly to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver, capturing studio-quality sound.
