DJI Osmo 360 II camera teased with imminent August 13 launch in China (at least)
DJI is teasing the second coming of its popular Osmo 360 action camera on social media
A mysterious teaser has surfaced on DJI's website, hinting at the highly anticipated release of the DJI Osmo 360 II. The site is only accessible to users in Hong Kong, displaying a date of August 13, 2026, at 12PM GMT. This information seems to contrast with another teaser posted on DJI's Instagram, stating that the device will be available for pre-order starting at 8:00PM on August 7th.
This suggestion is reinforced by a Chinese social media post, reported by Asobinet, which states that the 360 camera would be unveiled on August 7th. However, no further details about the camera's launch have emerged thus far.
An Instagram teaser consists of a video showcasing 360-degree footage captured by the DJI Osmo 360 II. The reel displays POV shots of mountain biking, dancing, skiing, and other activities, concluding with the phrase "Coming soon." An earlier teaser released by DJI presents a similar video, starting with a top-down view of a square sensor.
The camera then pulls back to reveal the lens and the top of the camera itself, with a fisheye lens overlaid on the top. DJI hasn't disclosed any specifications for the Osmo 360 II yet, but enthusiasts are speculating about potential upgrades to the Osmo 360's already impressive features, including 8K/50p and 6K/60p video, 120MP panoramic stills, and 105GB of available storage. Some commenters are even dreaming of "24k resolution, 2000fps open gate global shutter."
The release of the Osmo 360 II arrives at a time when DJI and its customers face uncertainty regarding product availability in the US due to government restrictions on Chinese-made drones. The uncertainty extends to other DJI products, such as the Osmo Pocket 4 and 4P. Consequently, it is likely that the Osmo 360 II won't be available in the US upon its release.
Nevertheless, DJI's teasers have undoubtedly caught the attention of competitors. As soon as more information about the impending release becomes available, Digital Camera World will be the first to report on it.
