DJI launches Osmo 360, its first 360-degree high-res camera: Price, specs

DJI launches Osmo 360 with native 8K/50fps video, dual one-inch HDR sensors, and up to 100 minutes of runtime at 8K. It is now available for purchase from DJI's website and Amazon

Chinese technology company, Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI), has entered the 360-degree camera space with the launch of the Osmo 360, a compact dual-lens camera designed for high-resolution content creation. It’s the first 360 camera from DJI and boasts a number of industry firsts, including native 8K/50 frames per second video recording, dual one-inch HDR sensors, and 100-minute runtime at 8K/30 frames per second. According to DJI, the Osmo 360 is aimed at creators looking to capture panoramic or first-person content with minimal setup and high visual fidelity.

 

A standout feature of the product according to the company is the use of square HDR sensors, which is said to offer better sensor utilisation and performance in low light, while the invisible selfie stick trick adds a cameraman-like third-person perspective without editing. DJI also brings wireless audio support, advanced video stabilisation, and gesture/voice control with this 360-degree camera.
