DJI introduced the Osmo 360 II, the second generation of its 360-degree camera, in China on August 13. The body looks almost identical to the original, but users can now swap damaged lenses themselves, and panoramic recording moves up to 8K60fps. Pricing starts at 3,299 yuan (about 78,000 yen), matching the first model.

Lenses You Can Replace Yourself

Panoramic cameras are hard to protect because their lenses protrude on both sides, and scratches from a bag or a backpack strap are common. Those scratches also affect the stitching between the two views, which used to leave owners choosing between a repair service and living with the damage.

The Osmo 360 II changes that: the lenses can be removed and replaced by the owner. DJI also hardens the lens surface with an ion sputtering coating to resist scratches in the first place. Being able to carry a spare and get back to shooting on location is a practical shift for a camera aimed at travel and action use.

The exterior and dimensions otherwise follow the original closely. As leaks and teasers had suggested, the changes are concentrated inside.

8K60fps, 14.5 Stops, and AI SuperNight 2.0

The camera uses two 1/1.1-inch sensors behind f/1.9 lenses. Top panoramic capture rises from 8K50fps on the original to 8K60fps, and dynamic range reaches up to 14.5 stops, one stop more than the 13.5 stops of the first generation.

For low light, DJI added AI SuperNight 2.0, which applies AI-based noise reduction. The point of the new mode is that night footage no longer requires dropping the frame rate, since it works at 8K60fps. Recording bitrate also climbs from 170 Mbps to 220 Mbps, leaving more headroom in fast-moving scenes.

Wider Slow Motion and Time-Lapse Options

The added capture modes matter in daily use. Panoramic video supports 4K240fps slow motion, and single-lens shooting supports 4K120fps. Time-lapse expands from 8K on the original to 16K, with bitrate reaching 600 Mbps in that mode. Photos can be captured as 120-megapixel HDR panoramas.

Battery capacity grows from 1,950 mAh to 2,150 mAh, and internal storage is 105 GB. The mount now attaches magnetically in either orientation, and pairing with a phone is a matter of tapping over NFC. A subject tracking mode has been added as well.

Priced from 3,299 Yuan, with No Word on Other Markets

In DJI's Chinese store, the standard configuration sells for 3,299 yuan (about 78,000 yen), while the Adventure Combo, which bundles extras such as a spare battery, is 3,999 yuan (about 94,000 yen). That keeps the same price band as the original Osmo 360, which remains on sale in China at a discount.

For now the launch covers China only. DJI has not announced US pricing or a release date, and there is no stated plan for Japan or other regions either. When the company launched the Osmo Pocket 4P in China first, the international rollout took several weeks to follow.

Insta360 also moved in this category just before the Osmo 360 II reveal, launching the X6. It likewise carries two 1/1.1-inch sensors and records panoramic video at 8K50fps. With two closely matched cameras arriving in the same week, the deciding factors are shifting toward practical design choices such as replaceable lenses.

Summary

The Osmo 360 II pairs image-quality gains, including 8K60fps and 14.5 stops of dynamic range, with a distinctly practical change in user-replaceable lenses. Holding the price at 3,299 yuan while adding 105 GB of internal storage and AI SuperNight 2.0 is a reasonable result. Availability remains the open question: until pricing and timing are announced for Japan and other markets, this stays a China-first release, just like the original.
