DJI, best known for its drones and innovative camera technology, is entering the 360° camera market for the first time — and it’s making a big statement. The newly launched Osmo 360 isn’t just another addition to the category; it brings technical breakthroughs that set a new standard for panoramic imaging.
With the world’s first 1-inch 360° image sensor and native 8K/50fps recording, DJI is aiming to raise the bar for what creators can expect from a compact, all-in-one 360° camera.
Breaking the Resolution Barrier
The Osmo 360 captures 360° content with an industry-first square HDR sensor, designed specifically for panoramic imaging. Unlike traditional rectangular sensors that waste unused areas, this design improves efficiency, increases light intake, and maximizes resolution. The result: sharper photos, more detail, and better low-light performance — all while conserving power.
This technology enables two key benchmarks:
- 8K/50fps ultra-high-spec video recording
- 100 minutes of continuous 8K/30fps footage on a single charge
With 2.4μm pixels — twice the size of the industry norm — the Osmo 360 produces footage with rich contrast, minimal noise, and excellent dynamic range, even in difficult lighting conditions like sunrise or night scenes.
Advanced Features for Creative Freedom
DJI has packed the Osmo 360 with tools aimed at filmmakers, vloggers, and action-sports enthusiasts alike:
- Invisible Selfie Stick – Eliminates the stick from footage automatically, making it appear as if shot by a drone or third-person camera operator.
- High Frame Rate & Slow Motion – Capture 4K/100fps for smooth action, or slow things down up to 4x for dramatic effect.
- 120 MP 360° Photos – Ultra-sharp stills for immersive photography.
- Gesture & Voice Control – Hands-free operation for more spontaneous shooting.
- HorizonSteady & RockSteady 3.0 – Stabilization tech keeps footage level and smooth, even in high-motion scenarios.
- GyroFrame & Intelligent Tracking – Frame your shots after capture or lock onto moving subjects for dynamic scenes.
Dual Personality: 360° and Action Camera in One
While built for panoramic capture, the Osmo 360 doubles as a single-lens action camera. In this mode, it delivers 5K/60fps video with a 155° wide angle, or an even wider 170° field of view in Boost Video mode. For extreme sports or first-person travel content, it offers 4K/120fps slow-motion capabilities.
Built for the Road (or the Snow)
Weighing just 183 grams, the Osmo 360 is portable enough for travel and rugged enough for challenging environments. It’s designed to operate in temperatures as low as -20°C and features 105GB of built-in storage.
The standard battery delivers up to 100 minutes of 8K recording, and an optional Battery Extension Rod can stretch that to an additional 180 minutes. Fast charging takes the battery from empty to 50% in just 12 minutes.
Seamless Integration with DJI’s Ecosystem
The Osmo 360’s magnetic quick-release system works with DJI’s Osmo Action accessories, and a 1/4″ thread ensures compatibility with standard mounts. DJI’s OsmoAudio™ Direct Microphone Connection allows creators to connect up to two DJI wireless mics without a separate receiver — ideal for on-the-go interviews and vlogs.
Pricing and Availability
DJI is offering two primary packages:
- Osmo 360 Standard Combo – €479.99
- Osmo 360 Adventure Combo – €629.99 (includes additional accessories such as a multifunctional battery case and the 1.2m Invisible Selfie Stick)
A full lineup of accessories, from motorcycle mounts to carbon fiber selfie sticks, is available separately.
Why This Matters for Creators
The Osmo 360 isn’t just about higher resolution — it’s about giving creators more control, more endurance, and more ways to tell their story. By merging DJI’s expertise in aerial imaging with cutting-edge panoramic tech, the company has positioned itself as a major player in the 360° camera world.
For vloggers, adventurers, and filmmakers who need a single device that can do it all, the Osmo 360 could easily become the go-to choice.
