DJI, a leading manufacturer of drones and cameras, has introduced the Osmo 360 II, an updated version of its first 360-degree camera, which launched a year ago. This new model addresses some of the original camera's issues, such as lens durability and waterproofing, and introduces native 8K/60fps video recording—a first for a 360 camera. The Osmo 360 II has the same size and weight as its predecessor, but the lenses now have a more durable optical coating and can be replaced by users, which is a big plus for those filming action sports or extreme activities. While the waterproof rating remains at 10 meters, DJI now recommends the camera for use by snorkelers and scuba divers. The Osmo 360 II outperforms other 360 cameras in several key areas. It can record 8K video at 60 frames per second, which is faster than the Insta360 X6's 8K/50fps. It also offers better dynamic range, improved slow-motion capabilities, higher-resolution time-lapse videos, and enhanced performance in low-light conditions. However, these improvements seem to be largely due to software upgrades rather than a new sensor, as the underlying hardware appears unchanged. The battery life is similar to the original model, with a slight increase in capacity. The camera has 105GB of internal storage and a slot for a microSD card for additional space. The Osmo 360 II is priced higher than the original model, with the Standard Combo costing £509 in the UK or AU$921 in Australia, compared to £409.99 and AU$759 for the original. An Adventure Combo, priced at £639 / AU$1,096, includes extra batteries, a charging case, and a selfie stick. While the Osmo 360 II is more affordable than the Insta360 X6, it is more expensive than the GoPro Max 2, which starts at £269.99 / AU$849.95. However, the Osmo 360 II is not available in the US at this time due to regulatory approval delays, leaving American consumers to look elsewhere or consider importing the device. The Osmo 360 II shows significant improvements in low-light performance compared to the GoPro Max 2, but users may encounter overheating issues when recording in 8K/60fps for extended periods. The camera comes with DJI's Mimo and Studio apps, which are reliable for editing and rearranging 360-degree footage, though they are not particularly advanced. Overall, the Osmo 360 II represents a notable step forward in 360-degree camera technology, offering better durability, improved performance, and new features for both casual and professional users.
