The DJI Osmo 360 is a standout innovation in the 360-degree camera market, designed to meet the needs of creators, adventurers, and storytellers. With cutting-edge features and intuitive design, it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to capture immersive, high-resolution content. Whether you’re vlogging, exploring the outdoors, or creating professional-grade videos, the Osmo 360 deserves your attention.
Powerful Features for Stunning Content
At the heart of the Osmo 360 lies its ability to simplify video creation while enhancing quality. It supports breathtaking 8K video recording, ensuring ultra-high-resolution footage that captures every detail. A large 1-inch sensor guarantees exceptional image quality in all lighting conditions, while built-in filters and adjustments let you tweak brightness, colour, and effects on the go.
Low light performance is solid, with noticeable improvements in how DJI cameras handle highlights. Shooting a scene with the sky as your backdrop, for example, delivers remarkable clarity in the clouds and finer details across the entire frame—an area where the Osmo 360 truly excels compared to other cameras in its class.
Addressing Heat and Handling Challenges
Though the Osmo 360 performs admirably in various environments, shooting in 8K can generate noticeable heat, especially during extended sessions in warmer conditions. While this hasn’t caused any shutdowns or performance issues during my testing, it does really heat up, so I’d be curious of the effect over longer periods of use.
Storage and Connectivity Made Simple
The Osmo 360 includes 100GB of internal storage, perfect for most creators and a lifesaver for someone who consitently forgets to pack a microSD card. For additional storage, there’s an easy-to-use microSD slot located within the battery compartment. Switching between internal and external storage is seamless, thanks to the intuitive menu system.
For DJI users who are already invested in the ecosystem, compatibility with existing accessories ensures a smooth transition. Even if you’re new to DJI, the accessory lineup is reasonably priced and incredibly functional. For instance, the DJI Mic 2 or Mic Mini is a must-have for creators who want superior audio quality, the built-in mic is adequate, but a dedicated mic takes your sound to the next level.
Pricing and Configurations
The DJI Osmo 360 is available in two configurations to suit different needs:
Osmo 360 Standard Combo – $759 AUD
Includes: Osmo 360 camera, battery, protective pouch, lens cloth, charging cable, and rubber lens protector.
Osmo 360 Adventure Combo – $989 AUD
Includes everything from the Standard Combo, plus a multifunctional battery case, adjustable quick-release adapter mount, and a 1.2m Invisible Selfie Stick.
Additional accessories, such as extended selfie sticks and mounts, are available for those looking to get the most out of their experience. The 2.5m Extended Carbon Fiber Selfie Stick is particularly impressive, sturdy, lightweight, and offering drone-like perspectives without the hassle of flying one. Another notable accessory is the Hanging Neck Mount Max, providing hands-free filming with ease and comfort. I’d highly recommend both of these.
Effortless Usability and Professional Versatility
The Osmo 360 ensures a seamless user experience with its magnetic mounting system and responsive touchscreen controls. Voice commands allow you to start recording or switch between front and rear views instantly. Designed with vloggers and creators in mind. This is an action camera that truely delivers unique and visually stunning content that stands out on any platform.
Beyond personal use, the camera is equally suited for the professional, such as real estate, event coverage, and inspections, where detailed 360-degree perspectives are essential or even two people conversations where each person is sitting across from each other to add that first person perspective. Vloggers will also love the fact that you can capture a scene you are witnessing and yourself at the same time.
Final Thoughts
The DJI Osmo 360 is a remarkable 360-degree camera that combines power, versatility, and ease of use. With 8K video recording, a robust 1-inch sensor, and a wealth of creator-focused features, it’s an excellent investment for anyone serious about immersive video content.
While minor improvements, such as enhanced cooling, could refine the experience, the Osmo 360’s strengths far outweigh its limitations. Whether you’re capturing adventures, growing your social media presence, or tackling professional projects, this camera delivers on every front.
