DJI Osmo 360 II Released

The Osmo 360 II is a panoramic camera designed for capturing 360-degree video and high-resolution stills in demanding environments. Maintaining a compact 183-gram chassis, the second-generation hardware introduces key physical durability upgrades over its predecessor. The most notable design change is the addition of user-replaceable lenses equipped with an ultra-hard coating to mitigate scratch damage on exposed optics.

The device features an upgraded square HDR imaging sensor system that improves sensor area utilization compared to traditional rectangular layouts. It includes 105GB of built-in internal storage for high-bitrate recording. Internal power is supplied by a 2,150 mAh battery, representing a capacity increase over the previous generation.

Video performance on the camera reaches native 8K resolution at up to 60 frames per second. High dynamic range capture extends up to 14.5 stops, expanding the supported brightness range for high-contrast scenes. Low-light recording is assisted by AI SuperNight 2.0 processing to keep nighttime footage clean and clear.

Photographers can capture 360-degree stills at up to 120 megapixels in HDR, as well as 16K resolution timelapses. For action footage, the unit supports an 8K 120fps Vortex mode alongside 64x panoramic slow-motion capabilities. Video recording formats support 10-bit color depth and D-Log M color profiles for post-production flexibility.

The camera body provides native waterproofing down to 10 meters without requiring extra housing. Deep water exploration down to 50 meters is supported when sealed inside an optional invisible waterproof case. The hardware is also built to function in extreme cold down to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Control options include hands-free voice commands and gesture controls, allowing users to start recording without releasing handle bars or poles. A dedicated Near Field Communication zone facilitates rapid device pairing and file transfer. Subject tracking is handled via Spotlight Follow, which keeps selected subjects centered in the frame regardless of camera rotation.

Initial pre-orders launched in China ahead of a broader international presentation at IFA 2026. The device achieved regulatory clearance with the Federal Communications Commission in late December 2025 under model number OQ002. This authorization timing cleared regulatory requirements necessary for official sale in the United States.

The ecosystem includes dedicated accessories such as lens replacement kits, extended carbon fiber selfie sticks, and protective dive cases. Wireless connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth for integration with companion mobile software and external audio hardware.
