DJI has announced the Osmo 360 II, its second-generation standalone 360 camera, with native 8K/60fps panoramic video, a claimed 14.5 stops of dynamic range and a new AI SuperNight 2.0 mode aimed at improving low-light footage. It will make its global offline debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin from 4-8 September.

The headline is what DJI describes as an industry-first native 8K/60fps 360 camera. At the centre of the Osmo 360 II is a 1/1.1-inch square CMOS design that provides a 1-inch-equivalent 360° image field. DJI says the square format improves sensor utilisation while its large 2.4μm pixels, f/1.9 aperture and new processing help the camera cope with both fast movement and difficult lighting. Dynamic range rises from 13.5 stops on the original model to 14.5 stops here.
For me, that makes this look like a meaningful refinement rather than a complete redesign. Our DJI Osmo 360 camera review is worth revisiting for the first-generation baseline: the new camera retains the same 183g weight and 61 × 81 × 36.3mm dimensions, but increases maximum 360 video from 8K/50fps to 8K/60fps.
Stills also get some attention. The Osmo 360 II can capture 120MP HDR 360° photographs, while DJI is introducing AI High-Precision Smart Stitching to reduce visible seams, close-range alignment errors and distortion. The idea remains one of the big advantages of this type of camera: capture everything around you first, then choose the composition afterwards. DJI’s media material sums that approach up rather neatly as “shoot first, frame later”.
There’s more headroom for creative video too. A 16K 360° Timelapse mode doubles the resolution offered by the previous model, while an 8K/120fps Vortex mode is intended for wraparound slow-motion effects. The camera can also shoot 4K/240fps slow motion, with DJI Studio using AI frame interpolation to provide up to 64x panoramic slow motion in post-production. All video formats support 10-bit colour and D-Log M.
The announcement comes as the 360 camera market is moving particularly quickly. Our recent Insta360 X6 launch coverage gives some useful context around the latest 8K competition, while the GoPro Max 2 review shows just how much emphasis manufacturers are now placing on extracting conventional reframed video from panoramic footage.
DJI is tackling that workflow with Spotlight Follow, which can select and keep a subject centred as the camera moves, plus Dual Recording for generating selfie and outward-facing views from one recording. There’s also a new NFC area: tap a compatible device and DJI says you can connect to the Mimo app for transfers or jump directly into editing. DJI Studio footage can also be taken into DaVinci Resolve using DJI’s plugin.
One of the more practical upgrades is the new replaceable lens design. Exposed fisheye lenses are always vulnerable on a 360 camera, particularly when you’re mounting one to a bike, helmet or selfie stick. DJI has given both lenses an ultra-hard optical surface and says owners can replace a damaged lens using its replacement kit rather than treating the complete camera as a write-off.
The body itself remains waterproof to 10m, with DJI’s Invisible Waterproof Case extending that to 50m. The camera is also rated for use down to -20°C, making it clearly targeted at skiing, biking, diving and other outdoor applications.
Audio ties into the wider Osmo ecosystem through a four-microphone array and DJI OsmoAudio direct microphone connectivity. DJI lists compatibility with products including the Mic 3 and Mic 2, so our DJI Mic 3 review and DJI Mic 2 review should be useful if you’re putting together a more complete creator setup. The dual-direction magnetic quick-release system and 1/4-inch thread also make it compatible with a broad range of Osmo and conventional camera accessories.
