DJI Osmo 360 II Launched in China With Native 8K/60fps Video

Key Highlights

• Native 8K 360-degree video recording at up to 60fps
• Dual 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors with f/1.9 aperture
• Up to 14.5 stops of claimed dynamic range
• 120-megapixel panoramic photos and 10-bit video
• Replaceable lenses and IP68-rated waterproof design
• China price starts at CNY 3,299; India price is yet to be announced

DJI has launched the DJI Osmo 360 II in China as the successor to last year’s Osmo 360, bringing a meaningful upgrade to the company’s flagship 360-degree camera lineup. The new model retains DJI’s dual square-sensor approach but pushes native panoramic recording to 8K at 60fps.

The camera also introduces claimed improvements in dynamic range, low-light recording and lens durability. DJI says the Osmo 360 II can deliver up to 14.5 stops of dynamic range, while its new AI Super Night 2.0 mode is designed to improve video captured in challenging lighting conditions.

For Indian buyers, however, there is still one major unanswered question. DJI has not announced the Osmo 360 II’s India price or availability yet. The camera currently has an official China price, so any INR figure at this stage should be treated only as an approximate conversion.

Why the DJI Osmo 360 II Is Getting Attention

The biggest headline here is not simply “8K video.” It is native 8K at 60fps.

360-degree cameras capture a much wider field of view than conventional action cameras, which means users often reframe the footage later to choose their preferred angle. Higher resolution gives that reframed footage more room to work with, while 60fps can make fast-moving scenes look smoother.

That makes the Osmo 360 II particularly interesting for motorcyclists, travel creators, vloggers, adventure enthusiasts and filmmakers who want to capture everything first and decide on the final composition later.

The other important upgrade is the replaceable-lens design. The exposed lenses on 360-degree cameras are particularly vulnerable to scratches because they need to capture almost the entire surrounding view. Making the lenses replaceable is therefore a practical durability improvement, not just a specification-sheet upgrade.

The specifications above are based on DJI’s launch information and current product documentation.

Camera and Video Features

The Osmo 360 II uses two 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensors with an f/1.9 aperture. DJI says the square sensor design provides panoramic coverage equivalent to a traditional 1-inch sensor while improving sensor utilisation by 25 percent.

The headline video mode is native 8K panoramic recording at up to 60fps. It can also record 6K panoramic video at up to 60fps.

For creators, the combination of high resolution and 60fps should be particularly useful for action footage. A 360 camera is often used differently from a standard action camera because the user does not need to decide the final framing while recording.

DJI also claims up to 14.5 stops of dynamic range, which it says is twice that of the previous generation. The two lenses can expose scenes independently, helping preserve detail when different parts of a scene have significantly different lighting levels.

That claim is worth viewing as a specification rather than a guarantee of real-world image quality until independent testing is available.

The camera can capture 120-megapixel panoramic photographs at 15,520 × 7,760 pixels. Video recording supports 10-bit colour and D-Log M, giving more flexibility to creators who want to colour-grade their footage later.

AI Tracking and Low-Light Video

DJI has added AI-powered subject tracking that can identify and follow a subject while keeping it centred in the frame. There is an important limitation, though: the tracking feature works in panoramic tracking mode at up to 4K resolution.

The Osmo 360 II also gets AI Super Night 2.0. Combined with the f/1.9 aperture, DJI says the system is designed to improve low-light video recording. Again, actual night-time performance will need independent testing before judging how big the improvement is.

Design, Durability and Replaceable Lenses

The Osmo 360 II follows the compact design philosophy of its predecessor but adds a feature that could make a bigger difference for adventure users: replaceable lenses.

This matters because the outer lenses on a 360-degree camera are exposed and can be damaged during travel, cycling, motorcycling or other outdoor activities. A replaceable system can make long-term ownership less stressful than having to treat a damaged lens as a major repair issue.

The camera also carries an IP68 rating and is rated to work underwater to 10 metres without an additional case. DJI lists an operating temperature range from -20°C to 45°C, making it suitable for a broad range of outdoor environments.

Storage and Connectivity

The camera includes 128GB of built-in storage, with 105GB available for users, and supports microSD cards up to 1TB. That is useful for 8K recording, where video files can become large quickly.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and USB Type-C. DJI’s OsmoAudio system also allows the camera to connect directly with compatible DJI microphone transmitters, including the DJI Mic 3 and DJI Mic Mini 2.

For creators, that direct microphone integration could simplify a travel or action setup by reducing the need for additional audio hardware.

Battery and Recording

The DJI Osmo 360 II packs a 2,150mAh battery. DJI rates it for up to 100 minutes of 8K/30fps panoramic recording.

That figure is a laboratory rating rather than a guarantee of everyday battery life. Screen usage, wireless connectivity, temperature, recording resolution and other settings can all affect endurance.

For anyone planning long shooting sessions, the Adventure Combo makes more sense because it includes three batteries and a multifunctional battery case.

Price and Availability

The DJI Osmo 360 II has currently been launched in China in two configurations:

• Standard Combo – CNY 3,299 (Approx ₹46,700)
• Adventure Combo – CNY 3,999 (Approx ₹56,600)

The Standard Combo includes the camera, one 2,150mAh cold-resistant battery, two lens protectors and a camera pouch.

The Adventure Combo adds two extra batteries, a multifunctional battery case, an adjustable dual-direction quick-release adapter and a 1.2-metre invisible selfie stick, along with the lens protectors and pouch.

*These INR figures are approximate currency conversions, not official India prices. Using the August 14, 2026 CNY/INR reference relationship gives roughly ₹14.16 per CNY, putting CNY 3,299 at about ₹46,700 and CNY 3,999 at about ₹56,600. Actual Indian pricing can be higher or lower because of taxes, duties, importer margins, logistics and other local costs.

India price and availability: Not announced yet.

DJI Osmo 360 II vs Insta360 X5

The biggest competition comes from Insta360’s X5, which is currently listed in India at around ₹58,990 on the company’s India store. The X5 also supports 8K 360-degree video and uses replaceable lenses.

The comparison will become more meaningful once the Osmo 360 II receives an official Indian price. At the moment, comparing its converted China price directly with Indian retail prices would not be an apples-to-apples comparison.

Is the DJI Osmo 360 II Worth Considering?

The Osmo 360 II looks like a focused upgrade rather than a complete reinvention. DJI has kept the strong dual 1/1.1-inch sensor foundation while addressing several areas that matter to serious 360-degree camera users.

Native 8K/60fps is the headline improvement, but the combination of replaceable lenses, 10-bit recording, D-Log M, improved claimed dynamic range and better low-light processing could ultimately matter more to creators.

The bigger question for Indian buyers is pricing. At roughly ₹46,700 after conversion, the China Standard Combo looks competitive on paper, but that does not tell us what the final Indian retail price will be.

Until DJI announces Indian pricing, the Osmo 360 II is best viewed as a promising high-end 360 camera for creators who specifically need 360-degree capture rather than a conventional action camera.

Pros and Cons

• You are waiting for a confirmed Indian price before spending

Final Verdict

The DJI Osmo 360 II is an interesting second-generation upgrade because DJI has concentrated on improvements that actually matter to 360-degree creators.

Native 8K/60fps recording gives users more flexibility when reframing footage, while the dual 1/1.1-inch sensors, f/1.9 aperture and claimed 14.5-stop dynamic range give the camera a strong imaging foundation. Replaceable lenses are arguably just as important for adventure users because they address one of the practical risks of owning a 360 camera.

For Indian buyers, though, the story is not complete yet. DJI has not announced the India price or availability, so it is too early to make a definitive value-for-money judgment.

If DJI keeps the eventual Indian price competitive with the current 360-camera market, the Osmo 360 II could become one of the more compelling options for creators who want high-resolution 360-degree footage without moving into professional camera rigs.
