DJI Osmo 360: A New Spin on 8K Panoramic Video & Slow-Mo Magic

Meet DJI's Osmo 360: Capture immersive 8K video, 4K slow-mo, and crystal-clear sound—plus waterproof, rugged, and packed with pro features.

Have you noticed how 360-degree cameras have quietly gone from a fun novelty to a must-have for anyone chasing that “you are there” vibe? Well, whether you’re a creator, a vlogger with wanderlust, or simply a tech enthusiast, there’s a new contender you’re going to want to keep an eye on. Say hello to the DJI Osmo 360—the latest gadget vying to become your go-to for immersive video and out-of-this-world slow-mo shots.

The New DJI Osmo 360

Honestly, I couldn’t tell you just how huge the market is for 360 cameras, but the fact that drone powerhouse DJI is jumping in tells you it’s no longer a niche crowd. Their first rotation (see what I did there?) in the space is the Osmo 360—a clear shot across the bow at the likes of Insta360’s X5.

Does the Osmo 360 reinvent the wheel? Not exactly. But what it does bring to the party are some serious tech upgrades, and, frankly, a build that just feels right in your hand or clipped to your bike. Here’s where things get interesting...

Camera Quality to Write Home About

So, what’s hiding inside this sleek device? Let’s break it down:

• One-inch Square Sensors: That’s right—bigger sensors typically mean more light, sharper shots, and clearer video, even as the sun dips behind those clouds.
• Dual Fisheye Lenses: Each side gets its own, so you’re always covered—literally.
• Jaw-Dropping Photo and Video Options:
• 120MP Spherical Photos
• 8K 360º Video at 30fps—for maximum clarity
• 6K at 60fps & 4K at 100fps—so your slow-motion scenes are as smooth as butter
• Prefer edges over curves? The Osmo 360 can pull off:
• 155° (5K at 60fps)
• 170° (4K at up to 120fps)
• 10-bit Color: Perfect for creators who crave rich, vibrant post-production edits.

And if you ever feel the need to switch up your perspective, seamless toggling between front and rear lenses has you covered. No need to fumble around while the action is unfolding!

Keeping It Smooth and Stable (No Matter What)

Okay, so we all know shaky video is a total buzzkill, right? Thankfully, DJI borrowed a few tricks from its drone DNA:

• DJI HorizonSteady & RockSteady: These onboard stabilization tools all but guarantee silky-smooth footage, whether you’re racing downhill or capturing your dog’s wild zoomies in the backyard.
• Automatic Subject Tracking: Focus stays locked, even when you’re not.

And if you’re all about color and contrast, HDR support means your footage will pop—even under tricky lighting.

Audio That Doesn’t Miss a Beat

There’s nothing worse than nailing the shot, only to discover the soundtrack is all wind and chaos. The Osmo 360 tackles this old problem with:

• Four-Mic Array: Records audio in every direction, so you’re not missing a thing.
• Wind Noise Reduction: Because who needs white noise when you’re telling a story?

Into pro audio? You can plug DJI’s lapel mics in directly—no extra receivers, no sweat.

Ready for Adventure

From wild hikes to city strolls in the rain, this gadget wants to go where you go:

• 105GB Onboard Storage: Seriously, that’s a lot of footage—no more pausing to swap cards.
• 1950mAh Battery: Up to 100 minutes of 8K recording per charge, and if you’re in a hurry, you’ll get half a tank in just 12 minutes.
• IP68 Waterproofing: Dive down to 10 meters with zero worry.
• Cold-Resistant: Ready to roll down to -4°F (that’s brisk!).
• Featherweight Build: Only 183 grams—barely heavier than your phone.

Still need convincing? You’ll find:

• Magnetic Quick Release: Snap it onto just about any Osmo accessory.
• Pro Sports Dashboard Mode: Pair with your Apple Watch or Garmin for live data overlays.
• Gesture and Voice Controls: For those times when you need to be hands-free (though voice commands are a bit limited, let’s be honest).
