DJI Osmo 360

DJI presents its new 360-degree camera, the Osmo 360. The camera is a novelty in the DJI portfolio, and when DJI tackles something, it does it right. The Osmo defines new standards in image quality: square 1-inch sensor, 8K recordings and 13.5 f-stops.

Equipped with a newly developed 1-inch 360-degree image sensor, the Osmo 360 delivers the sharpest images of any 360-degree camera currently available, according to DJI. It is the first camera of its kind to record ultra-high-resolution 8K video at 50 frames per second and can film continuously for 100 minutes in 8K at 30 frames per second. The square-format HDR sensor, specially designed for 360-degree shots, retains the full 360-degree field of view of a classic 1-inch rectangular sensor, but does away with unused areas. This results in a 25 percent higher sensor utilization, improved energy efficiency and compact design while maintaining first-class image quality.

The Osmo 360 is the first camera in its class to record native 8K panoramic videos at 30 frames per second and 2.4 micron pixel size. This corresponds to double the pixel size compared to the industry standard of 1.2 micrometers and enables significantly more detail, less image noise and better low-light properties. In addition, smooth 8K videos can be created at 50 frames per second, setting new standards in the resolution of 360-degree cameras.

With a dynamic range of 13.5 f-stops, an f/1.9 aperture and an enlarged pixel structure, vivid and sharp images can be created even in difficult lighting conditions such as sunrise or sunset.

Other creative functions:

  • Invisible selfie stick: The stick automatically disappears from the image material and enables shots that look as if they were filmed by a third person.
  • High frame rate video: The camera can record 360-degree videos in 4K at 100 frames per second.
  • Slow motion: Recordings can be slowed down by up to four times to experience special moments more intensely.
  • 120 megapixel photo: 360-degree photos with up to 120 megapixels are available for particularly detailed still images.
  • Gesture and voice control: Recordings can be started and stopped with a simple hand movement or voice command.
  • HorizonSteady and RockSteady: HorizonSteady always keeps the image level. RockSteady 3.0 reduces vibrations in single lens mode without impairing the flow of movement.
  • GyroFrame and intelligent tracking: GyroFrame allows perspectives to be adjusted using motion control. Intelligent tracking recognizes and tracks people, vehicles or animals.
  • Editing on different platforms: Editing is done via DJI Mimo or DJI Studio. A plugin for Adobe Premiere optimizes the editing process of 360-degree videos.

Impressive key figures

The camera allows seamless switching between front and rear lens during recording, which is ideal for continuous travel videos. In single lens mode, the Osmo 360 acts as a first-person action camera and delivers 5K video at 60 frames per second with a 155-degree ultra-wide angle. Boost mode extends the field of view to 170 degrees at 4K and 120 frames per second.

With 105 gigabytes of integrated memory, the Osmo 360 is ideally equipped for mobile use. It weighs just 183 grams and combines two 1-inch lens modules in a compact housing. Developed for use in extreme conditions, it is also ready for use in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius. The battery enables 100 minutes of recording time at 8K and 30 frames per second. With the optional Battery Extension Rod, the runtime can be extended by a further 180 minutes. The camera can be charged to 50 percent within 12 minutes.

The magnetic quick-release system is compatible with accessories from the Osmo Action series. A standard thread allows the use of conventional camera equipment. Thanks to OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection, two DJI microphone transmitters can be connected directly - without the need for an additional receiver.
