DJI launches Osmo 360 II, but the U.S. wont get it
DJI has unveiled the Osmo 360 II, its new 360-degree 8K camera, to the global market — but it won't be coming to the U.S.
DJI unveiled the Osmo 360 II, its latest 360-degree 8K camera, in the global market during IFA 2026. The Osmo 360 II boasts larger sensors, higher frame rates, and replaceable lenses compared to the previous Osmo 360, positioning itself to compete with Insta360's recently launched X6 camera. The Osmo 360 II's larger dual 1-inch square sensors provide 14.5 stops of dynamic range.
It can shoot 8K panoramic video at 60fps, 4K slow motion footage at 240fps, while the Osmo 360 can only reach 8K at 50fps or 4K at 100fps in slow motion mode. A significant upgrade for the Osmo 360 II is the introduction of swappable lenses, similar to Insta360's successful feature in their X5 and X6 cameras. This allows users to easily replace damaged lenses without incurring high costs.
The camera syncs seamlessly with the DJI Mimo app, enabling users to transfer footage by simply tapping the NFC area on the device. The Osmo 360 II also introduces AI SuperNight 2.0, a new noise reduction algorithm for capturing clean footage in low light conditions, and Spotlight Follow, a tracking tool that automatically keeps the subject centered in the frame.
The Osmo 360 II shares the same measurements and specifications as its predecessor, including a 100-minute battery runtime at 8K 30fps, 105GB of built-in storage (expandable via microSD cards), and identical dimensions. However, due to the U.S. government's unfriendly stance toward DJI, the Osmo 360 II will not be available for purchase directly in the United States.
American consumers must purchase the camera through third-party vendors until the product becomes accessible domestically.
