DJI launches the Osmo 360 II in China, featuring HDR stills, RAW capture, and 8K/60fps video, while competing aggressively on price and features against Insta360 and earlier models.
DJI has put the Osmo 360 II on sale in China, confirming the specifications that had been circulating ahead of launch and sharpening its pitch against Insta360 on price and features. The new camera supports HDR stills and RAW capture, while panoramic photos retain a 120 MP output and gain a wider dynamic range of 14.5 stops, up from 13.5 stops on the earlier model. DJI is also advertising native 8K/60fps 360-degree video, AI-assisted low-light recording and a new subject-tracking mode designed to simplify reframing in post-production.
The imaging hardware is built around two CMOS sensors, each said to match the light-gathering area of a 1-inch sensor in 4:3 format for 360-degree capture. DJI lists an f/1.9 aperture, ISO 100-51200 and 2.4 μm pixels, alongside 30.72 MP single-lens stills and 120 MP panoramic photographs. Video options include 8K and 6K panoramic recording at up to 60fps, 4K single-lens capture at up to 60fps and Boost Video modes that rise to 120fps in 4K and 2.7K. Timelapse recording reaches 16K, while 10-bit colour is supported across video formats.
According to DJI’s published specifications, the camera measures 61 x 36.3 x 81 mm and weighs 183 g. It uses replaceable lenses with an ion-sputtered coating that the company says is more resistant to scratches, and the body is rated IP68 for water and dust protection. DJI says the Osmo 360 II can be used to 10 m without a case or to 50 m with the separate invisible waterproof case, although it advises against underwater use without that accessory because of distortion from the fisheye lens design. The camera also includes a 2.0-inch touchscreen, four microphones with wind-noise reduction, NFC pairing and a dual-direction quick-release mount.
Storage and power remain practical selling points. The camera has 128 GB of internal storage, with 105 GB available to the user, and accepts microSD cards up to 1 TB. Its 2,150 mAh battery is rated for up to 100 minutes of continuous 8K/30fps recording under lab conditions, and DJI says a 30 W or higher USB-C Power Delivery charger can take it to 80% in 22 minutes. Pricing in Hong Kong starts at HKD 3,899 for the base model and HKD 4,699 for the Adventure Combo, which the report says converts to about $499 and $599 respectively. That places the new camera below the rival Insta360 X6 on price, while DJI’s current Osmo 360 is listed at a lower price in China and at $389 for the Standard Combo in the US.
