Pre-order the DJI Osmo 360 II now – but I think the £639 Adventure Combo is worth the extra

The DJI Osmo 360 II is available to order at last – and this £639 Adventure Combo looks like the best deal

DJI has recently opened pre-orders for its latest 360-degree camera, the Osmo 360 II, and among the available bundles, one stands out as the best deal. The DJI Osmo 360 II Adventure Combo, priced at £639, is available to pre-order at Wex, Clifton Cameras, and Park Cameras in the UK. This package is easily the most recommended option over the cheaper Standard Combo, which can only be purchased directly from DJI for £509.

Although the Adventure Combo is £130 more expensive than its counterpart, it includes several valuable accessories that serious Osmo 360 II users would likely purchase separately. These extras consist of three Osmo Extreme Battery Plus batteries, the Osmo Multifunctional Battery Case 3, and a 1.2m Dual-Direction Quick-Release Invisible Selfie Stick.

Having three batteries on hand proves to be much more practical than relying on a single battery, especially for extended filming sessions. Additionally, the Invisible Selfie Stick is considered an essential accessory for making the most of a 360 camera.

Beyond the accessories, the Osmo 360 II itself is a substantial upgrade from previous models. It offers 1-inch 360-degree imaging and can now record native 8K 360-degree footage at up to 60 frames per second. This enhanced flexibility allows creators to easily reframe footage after capture. The camera also boasts up to 14.5 stops of dynamic range, 120MP HDR 360-degree still images, and 10-bit recording with D-Log M for greater color grading control.

With an f/1.9 aperture and the AI SuperNight 2.0 mode for low-light shooting, the Osmo 360 II is designed to excel in various lighting conditions.

One of the most significant improvements of the Osmo 360 II is its ultra-hard, scratch-resistant lenses, which can be replaced if damaged. This feature is particularly valuable for a camera that attaches to various surfaces such as bikes, helmets, cars, and selfie sticks. The camera also comes with 105GB of built-in storage, NFC Quick Connect, DJI’s Spotlight Follow subject framing, and up to 100 minutes of 8K recording. Weighing only 183g, the Osmo 360 II is lightweight and portable.

While those who already own compatible accessories from DJI’s Osmo ecosystem may prefer the Standard Combo, the Adventure Combo offers a more comprehensive package. Priced at £639 from Wex, Clifton Cameras, Park Cameras, and directly from DJI, the additional accessories transform the Adventure Combo into an all-inclusive option right out of the box. With native 8K/60fps capture, replaceable lenses, and a robust set of accessories, the Osmo 360 II Adventure Combo showcases the full potential of DJI's new 360 camera.
