DJI unveils Osmo 360 II with larger sensor and 8K capture

DJI has announced the Osmo 360 II, a new 360-degree camera aimed at everyone from adventure shooters and cyclists to filmmakers and content creators.

The new model, unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, brings a larger square-format sensor, high-resolution video and a range of changes intended to make 360-degree cameras more practical in demanding shooting environments.

At its centre is a new 1-inch square HDR sensor. DJI says the unusual shape makes better use of the sensor area while still providing the coverage needed for 360-degree recording. The Osmo 360 II can capture 8K footage at up to 60 frames per second and offers a claimed 14.5 stops of dynamic range.

Low-light shooting has also received attention. DJI has introduced its AI SuperNight 2.0 processing system, which combines a new noise-reduction approach with relatively large 2.4μm pixels. The company says the combination is designed to retain detail while reducing noise when shooting in darker conditions.

For more serious video workflows, the Osmo 360 II records 10-bit footage and offers D-Log M across its video modes. DJI is also making it easier to move 360-degree footage into professional editing software, with a dedicated DaVinci Resolve plugin allowing files exported from DJI Studio to be imported without an intermediate rendering step.

The camera has been built with adventure use in mind. It can be used underwater to a depth of 10 metres without additional protection, while DJI's Invisible Waterproof Case increases that rating to 50 metres. It is also specified to operate at temperatures as low as -20°C.

Another useful change is the introduction of replaceable lenses. Rather than requiring the entire camera to be replaced after lens damage, users can swap out the lenses themselves. DJI has also added a protective optical film intended to improve resistance to scratches and wear.

There is 105GB of internal storage, while battery life is rated at up to 100 minutes when recording 8K/30fps continuously. DJI says the battery can reach 80 per cent charge in 22 minutes using its fast-charging system.

Cyclists are among the intended users, with stabilisation designed to cope with rough trails and a Sports Dashboard feature capable of displaying riding data over the finished footage. The camera can also be operated using voice or gesture controls, while a 2.5m carbon-fibre selfie stick provides an elevated viewpoint that can mimic an aerial camera.

For solo creators, Dual Recording can capture the user and their surroundings within the same 360-degree recording, while the Invisible Selfie Stick can be removed from the finished perspective.

DJI has added an NFC area to the camera, allowing a compatible smartphone to be paired with a tap. From there, users can transfer footage and access editing functions through the DJI Mimo app.

Audio is handled by four built-in microphones, with the camera also supporting direct wireless connections to DJI's Mic 3, Mic 2 and Mic Mini systems through DJI OsmoAudio. That removes the need to carry a separate receiver when using compatible DJI microphones.

Mounting is supported by DJI's dual-direction magnetic quick-release system, alongside a conventional 1/4-inch tripod thread.

The Osmo 360 II is priced at €589 in Standard Combo form in Europe, while the Creator Combo costs €739.
