DJI announces the Osmo 360, the company’s first 360° action camera
DJI has announced its first 360° action camera, the Osmo 360. The Osmo 360 promises several firsts for the segment, including being the first 360° camera to record in 8K 50fps and being able to shoot continuously in 8K 30fps for 100 minutes.
The Osmo 360 uses two 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors, which DJI says is equivalent to a single 1-inch type sensor when recording in 360°. DJI uses bespoke industry-first square HDR sensors, which have been designed for 360° from the ground up. The sensors have a dynamic range of 13.5 stops and f1.9 aperture, with an ISO range of 100-51200.
The two cameras combined can natively capture up to 8K 360° video at up to 30fps or up to 50fps using upscaling. It can also record up to 100fps when shooting in 4K. Alternatively, you can also record single-lens video up to 5K resolution at up to 60fps or single-lens ultra-wide video at up to 4K resolution at up to 120fps.
The Osmo 360 has impressively long recording times. It can record up to 100 minutes of continuous 8K 30fps panaromic video, and up to 190 minutes of 6K 24fps panaromic video. The camera can also record up to 1.5 hours in in sub-zero temperatures as low as -20° C
The Osmo 360 includes features such as HorizonSteady to ensure the footage remains level even if the camera is rotated, and RockSteady 3.0 for image stabilization.
For those looking to capture still shots, the Osmo 360 can capture up to 30.72MP 4:3 image from a single lens or a 120MP 2:1 panaromic photo from both lenses.
The Osmo 360 has a 2-inch display with a resolution of 314×556. It has integrated 128GB of storage, of which 105GB is available, along with microSD expansion up to 1TB. There’s also built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity. The recording can be triggered using palm gestures as well as voice commands.
The DJI Osmo 360 is priced at €480/£410 for the Standard Combo that includes the camera, a protective pouch, and a rubber lens protector, or €630/£540 for the Adventure Combo, which also adds a 1.2m Invisible Selfie Stick, two Extreme Battery Plus, and a Multifunctional Battery case.
