DJI Unveils Osmo 360 II With Industry-First 1‑Inch Square HDR Sensor

The new flagship 360 camera promises higher image quality and easier field repairs by combining a larger square HDR sensor with user-replaceable ultra-hard lenses.

Overview

  • DJI unveiled the Osmo 360 II at IFA 2026 in Berlin as its next flagship 360-degree camera aimed at creators and action-sports users.
  • The camera uses an industry-first 1-inch square HDR sensor that DJI says raises sensor utilization by about 25% and delivers 14.5 stops of dynamic range to improve contrast and highlight detail.
  • Osmo 360 II captures panoramic 8K video at up to 60 frames per second using 2.4µm pixels and adds AI SuperNight 2.0 to reduce noise in low-light and twilight scenes.
  • To address a common failure point for 360 rigs, DJI fitted ultra-hard, user-replaceable front lenses with a durable optical film and included workflow features such as 105GB built-in storage, NFC one-tap pairing, Spotlight Follow, OsmoAudio support, and fast charging.
  • DJI published full specifications but has not announced U.S. availability because the product is pending authorization for that market, and the launch timetable for the United States remains undecided; the move signals stronger competition and higher technical ambition in the 360-camera market.
