DJI Unveils Osmo 360: Revolutionising 360-Degree Camera Market
DJI, the world-renowned drone manufacturer, has entered the 360-degree camera market with the launch of its first 360 camera, the Osmo 360. The device, unveiled on July 29, 2025, promises to redefine the boundaries of 360-degree imaging with its impressive features and capabilities [1][3][4].
The Osmo 360 stands out with its large 1-inch CMOS sensors, delivering the sharpest photos and videos possible on the 360 camera market. This innovative design allows for a massive 120MP stitched image capture and high dynamic range capabilities [1][3][4]. The camera's f/1.9 aperture, combined with 2.4µm pixels, optimises low-light performance and ensures excellent picture details, less noise, and higher dynamic range [1][4].
The Osmo 360 supports a wide range of video resolutions and frame rates. It can shoot continuously for up to 100 minutes in 8K/30fps, offering 6K 360° video at 60fps and single-lens "boost" video at 4K/120fps with a 170° field of view [1][3][4][2]. The device also offers 4x slow-motion capability and 4K/100fps options [1][3][4][2].
Notable features of the Osmo 360 include OsmoAudio™ direct microphone support with dual mic transmitters compatible with DJI Mic 3. The camera also boasts a magnetic quick-release system that integrates with Osmo Action mounts and accessories, and offers hands-free operation through glove-capable gesture control and voice commands [1][4].
The Osmo 360 measures approximately 61×36.3×81 mm, weighs 183 g, and has 128GB built-in storage expandable by microSD. It records video in OSV and MP4 (HEVC) formats, photos in JPEG, and offers a max video bitrate of 170 Mbps [2].
The camera's battery, a 1950 mAh Li-ion cell, provides up to 100 minutes of 8K/30fps recording, extendable to 180-190 minutes with an optional battery pack. The Osmo 360 also features invisible selfie stick support for drone-like third-person shots and operates across a wide temperature range [1][2][4].
The Osmo 360's impressive specifications, including its large sensors, high-resolution 360 images and video, versatile frame rates, professional-grade color profiles, audio capabilities, and ergonomic integration with DJI’s existing gear ecosystem, position it as a strong competitor against leading 360 cameras like the Insta360 X5 [1][3][5].
Additional features like the industry-first square HDR image sensor, Invisible Selfie Stick, High Frame Rate Video, Slow Motion, 120 MP 360° Photo, Gesture and Voice Control, HorizonSteady and RockSteady, GyroFrame and Intelligent Tracking, and Multiplatform Editing Support further cement the Osmo 360's position as a game-changer in the 360-degree camera market [1][4].
