DJI has announced the second-generation Osmo 360 II at IFA 2026 in Berlin, featuring native 8K recording at 60fps, interchangeable lenses, and advanced imaging capabilities, signalling a major leap in consumer 360-degree camera technology.
DJI has used IFA 2026 in Berlin to unveil the Osmo 360 II, a second-generation 360-degree camera that lifts its headline recording mode to native 8K at 60 frames per second and introduces replaceable lenses. The company says global shipping in most markets outside Asia will begin on 15 September, although its US store still lists only the earlier Osmo 360.
The upgrade is centred on imaging hardware. DJI says the camera uses dual square 1/1.1-inch sensors with 2.4-micron pixels, a layout intended to improve sensor use and reduce power draw. The company and reports from Android Authority and DPReview say the design delivers up to 14.5 stops of dynamic range, while 120-megapixel HDR stills and 16K timelapse recording are also supported.
Video options have broadened as well. According to DJI’s launch details, the Osmo 360 II can record 8K at 120fps in its Vortex mode, while slow motion reaches 4K at 240fps. A single-lens Boost Video mode is available at up to 4K or 2.7K at 120fps, and the camera records in 10-bit D-Log M with a top bitrate of 170 megabits per second. Stabilisation is handled by RockSteady 3.0 and HorizonSteady.
Low-light performance is another key selling point. DJI says its SuperNight 2.0 processing is designed to make night footage cleaner and brighter, while Spotlight Follow keeps a subject centred as the camera rotates. The company also offers dual recording, voice and touch controls, and post-production tools in DJI Studio and the Mimo app, including AI frame interpolation that can stretch clips up to 64 times for panoramic slow motion.
The hardware has been built with field repair in mind. DJI says the lenses are coated for scratch resistance and can be replaced if damaged, with a spare lens priced at €39 or about $30 in markets where it is offered. The camera weighs 183 grams, includes 105GB of usable built-in storage, supports microSD cards up to 1TB, and uses a 2,150mAh battery that DJI says can deliver around 100 minutes of 8K/30 recording or reach 80 per cent charge in 22 minutes with the fast charger.
Pricing varies by market. Reports from launch coverage put the standard bundle at CNY 3,299 in China, about £509 in the UK and €589 in the eurozone, with an Adventure Combo priced higher in each region. The US remains the exception for now: DJI has not published domestic pricing or availability, despite the camera already carrying FCC equipment authorisation.
