Following on from last year’s Osmo 360, the new Osmo 360 II promises several improvements.
From the press release:
-
120MP HDR 360° Photo: Creators can freeze any scene as an HDR 360° photo with true-to-life lighting and contrast
-
16K 360° Timelapse: Capture the epic flow of time in 16K resolution, using Clouds mode to condense sweeping skies
-
64x Pano Slow Motion: Unlock up to 64x of buttery-smooth slow motion in post-production with DJI Studio’s AI frame interpolation that’s equivalent to cropped 8K/480fps
-
8K/120fps Vortex: Turn exciting moments into smooth high-definition wraparound slow motion with a simple swing
-
10-bit & D-Log M Color Profile: Every video format now supports 10-bit color depth, capturing over a billion colors
Of those features, I’m very keen to try out the 16K 360° timelapse — it’s always fun pushing that many pixels in an Apple Vision Pro.
Dynamic range in 360° footage has been improved too, expanded to 14.5 stops, a doubling of the brightness range. Like the competing cameras from Insta 360, the lenses are now user-replaceable. As with other recent DJI products, this will not be officially available in the US, at least at launch.
Other workflow improvements are included, including an improved night mode and tracking features, but I’ll leave the details for my full review coming up in a week or two. As I recently added 360° Reframing support to Keyframe Toolbox, my keyframing solution for Final Cut Pro, I’ve got a special interest in processing this footage, and extra incentive to capture shots in creative ways.
If you have any specific questions, let me know and I’ll try to answer them.
In the meantime though, if you’re in Berlin over the next few days, head to IFA 2026 (Booth No. H20-129, Hall 20) and you’ll be able to check it out early. For everyone else — expect to see it in most markets within a couple of weeks.
