DJI Osmo 360: New standards for 360° camera technology

With the launch of the DJI Osmo 360, the leading drone and camera specialist is entering the field of 360° cameras for the first time – and immediately setting new standards. The Osmo 360 combines highly developed sensor technology with creative functions and impressive image quality. For content creators, vloggers or technology enthusiasts who value razor-sharp all-round shots, this model could become the new reference.

The camera not only offers 8K videos in impressive detail, but also features such as invisible selfie sticks, gesture control and HDR-capable image sensors – all in an ultra-compact housing. Anyone looking for the most powerful 360° camera currently available should take a closer look at this new DJI product.

In a nutshell:

Native 8K/30fps 360° video quality with up to 100 minutes of recording time
New HDR image sensor with 1 inch size and 2.4 μm pixels
Invisible selfie stick, gesture control, HorizonSteady stabilization
120 MP photos, slow-motion videos and a boost mode with up to 170° field of view

Revolution in all-round vision: sensor technology and image quality

At the heart of the Osmo 360 is the industry’s first 1-inch square HDR sensor. Compared to conventional rectangular sensors, it uses the image area more efficiently, which, according to DJI, leads to 25% more sensor utilization. The pixel size of 2.4 μm – twice as large as the industry standard – allows for particularly detailed images with less image noise and improved dynamic range.

In practice, this means that even in low light conditions, clear and color-true images are possible. With an aperture of f/1.9 and 13.5 f-stops of dynamic range, the camera processes sunsets or high-contrast environments without overexposed or washed-out areas. Whether for VR content, social media videos or professional documentaries, the Osmo 360 provides a strong foundation for any application.

Creative features that are worth seeing

In addition to pure image quality, the Osmo 360 offers a whole range of intelligent and practical functions. Particularly noteworthy is the “invisible selfie stick”, which is automatically removed from the shots. This opens up new perspectives in the third-person view – without any time-consuming post-processing.

In addition, the camera supports slow motion with up to 4x deceleration and delivers 4K/100fps recordings for fast movements. Still images can be captured with up to 120 megapixels in outstanding sharpness. Gesture and voice control are also integrated and allow hands-free operation – particularly useful for vloggers or when shooting outdoors.

Additional stability is provided by “HorizonSteady”, which reliably aligns the horizon even when moving. If you want to film with just one lens, you can benefit from the RockSteady 3.0 stabilization mode for an immersive first-person perspective.

As flexible as a multitool – also as an action cam

Despite its 360° core functionality, the Osmo 360 can also be used as a classic action camera. In single lens mode, it films at up to 5K/60fps in 155° ultra-wide angle or in boost mode even at 4K/120fps with a 170° field of view. Ideal for sports shots or dynamic vlogs.

The battery performance is also particularly impressive: up to 100 minutes at 8K/30fps are possible, with the optional Battery Extension Rod even up to 280 minutes. The device is compact (only 183 g), robust (usable down to -20 °C) and offers 105 GB of internal memory – perfect for traveling. Thanks to the DJI Mimo app and DJI Studio software, post-processing is also seamless.

Integration into the DJI ecosystem

The modular quick-release design of the Osmo 360 allows the use of DJI accessories such as microphones, selfie sticks or mounts. Two microphones can be connected directly via OsmoAudio™ – without an additional receiver. So nothing stands in the way of high-quality sound recordings.

One highlight is the compatibility with the DJI Premiere plugin, which significantly simplifies the editing workflow for 360° videos in professional editing environments. The camera is also a logical next step for content creators already working in the DJI ecosystem.
