DJI has officially entered the 360 camera arena with the launch of the Osmo 360, a product that promises to redefine what creators expect from a panoramic camera. The Osmo 360 is the brand’s first purpose-built 360° camera, and early reviews, including our own comprehensive review, suggest it could quickly become the new benchmark in its class.
The Osmo 360 arrives with headline features that include an industry-first 1-inch 360° imaging sensor and the capability to record native 8K/50fps 360° video. Notably, it is the only 360 camera currently able to shoot continuously for 100 minutes at 8K/30fps, making it a practical choice for both professionals and enthusiasts shooting demanding content.
One of the stand-out innovations is the use of a square HDR sensor, which ensures 25% more sensor utilisation than traditional rectangular designs. This unique approach delivers not only improved image quality and power efficiency but also keeps the Osmo 360 remarkably lightweight at just 183g. The camera’s 2.4μm pixel size, double the industry standard, enables high dynamic range and reduced noise, while the f/1.9 aperture further enhances low-light and high-contrast performance.
For photographers and filmmakers, the Osmo 360 offers 120MP 360° photos and slow-motion video at up to 4x, with a range of advanced controls such as gesture and voice command, HorizonSteady, and RockSteady 3.0 stabilisation. The camera’s invisible selfie stick function and seamless switching between 360 and single-lens action camera modes make it especially versatile for vlogging, travel, and sports.
As detailed in our full review, using the Osmo 360 feels intuitive, with a responsive touchscreen, smart presets, and direct integration with DJI’s DJI Mimo and DJI Studio editing apps for both desktop and mobile. File transfer is quick via the built-in 105GB storage or microSD card, and the Osmo 360’s magnetic quick release works with a range of existing Osmo Action series accessories, boosting its ecosystem appeal.
The Osmo 360 doesn’t exist in a vacuum. DJI’s portfolio now covers nearly every creative imaging scenario. The recent DJI Osmo 7P, for instance, offers cutting-edge traditional action camera performance. Those seeking pocket-sized gimbal stabilisation can look to the Osmo Pocket 3, while the Osmo Action 5 Pro is targeted at extreme sports videography. Aerial creators are still best served by the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, and those needing advanced stabilisation can consider the DJI RS 4 Mini. Audio is also handled expertly by the DJI Mic 2, all of which integrate into DJI’s expanding creative system.
The Osmo 360 pushes beyond being just another 360 camera. It introduces features like OsmoAudio™ Direct Microphone Connection, allowing wireless mic pairing for on-the-go creators, and has been engineered for robust use, even in extreme conditions down to -20°C. The Adventure Combo includes extra accessories such as the 1.2m invisible selfie stick, making it ideal for a range of shooting scenarios.
For creators looking for an all-in-one solution for immersive storytelling, the Osmo 360 is set to become a category leader. Its full review makes clear that DJI’s new camera is not only technologically impressive but also genuinely fun and practical to use.
