DJI Osmo 360 II Shatters 360 Video Limits
13 Nov
Summary
- DJI Osmo 360 II now shoots 8K/60fps, surpassing rivals.
- US price starts at $699; UK price undercuts rivals.
- Features replaceable lenses and improved stabilization.
The DJI Osmo 360 II has set a new benchmark in 360-degree videography by achieving 8K resolution at a 60fps frame rate, a capability its primary competitor, the Insta360 X6, has not yet matched. This significant leap in frame rate technology allows for smoother, high-octane footage, crucial for action-oriented content creation.
In terms of pricing, the Osmo 360 II is available for $699 in the U.S. for a standard bundle, with an Adventure Combo costing $829. In the U.K., it begins at £509, offering a more competitive price point than the Insta360 X6. This pricing strategy makes it a strong contender in the high-end 360 camera market.
Key improvements include the introduction of replaceable lenses, a vital feature given the fragility of 360 camera lenses, and enhanced stabilization through DJI's RockSteady technology. While battery life at 8K/60fps is an impressive 66 minutes despite thermal throttling, it is less than some previous models in less demanding conditions.
DJI's Mimo app offers robust editing features, though Insta360's app remains more intuitive for direct social media uploads. For professional workflows, DJI provides DaVinci Resolve plug-ins, a significant advantage over competitors for certain editing suites.
