DJI enters Insta360’s domain with the Osmo 360 camera

DJI has announced its first 360-degree camera, the Osmo 360, capable of recording footage from all angles.

This week has felt like a big crossover event in the creator camera space: Insta360 encroached on DJI’s turf by announcing a drone brand, and now DJI is stepping into Insta360’s domain with the Osmo 360.

DJI’s new camera shoots at up to 8K resolution at 50fps when recording in 360 mode. The company claims that the Osmo 360 can record for 100 minutes at a time in 8K and 30fps. It’s technically longer than Insta360’s flagship X5 camera, which can record up to 93 minutes non-stop, although dropping the frame rate to 24fps can boost the runtime to 115 minutes.

The Osmo 360 uses a front and rear lens to capture its 360-degree footage, and you can also use a single lens by itself as a first-person action camera. DJI says its camera uses the equivalent of a 1-inch CMOS sensor in 360-degree mode with an f/1.9 aperture and 2.4μm pixels, a larger size designed to capture more light and details.

Capable of snapping still images, too, the Osmo 360 can take a 360-degree image in up to 120 megapixels. Like many of DJI’s devices, including the Osmo Pocket 3, its latest camera lets you track subjects automatically, which would be handy when trying to record fast-moving scenes.

On the inside, the Osmo 360 comes with 105GB of internal storage, and a battery that lasts up to 190 minutes. Available to order now, it comes in two main bundle options: the $759 Standard Combo, and the $989 Adventure Combo. What sets the two apart is that the Adventure Combo includes a few extras, including an additional battery, a selfie stick, and a battery case.
