DJI Osmo 360 II brings 8K/60fps 360° video and replaceable lenses
DJI has officially introduced the Osmo 360 II, its second-generation 360-degree camera, with a focus on higher frame rates, improved low-light performance, and easier long-term maintenance.
The biggest upgrade is the ability to record native 8K 360° video at 60fps, while DJI has also upgraded the camera's dynamic range and introduced AI SuperNight 2.0 for low-light recording.
The Osmo 360 II also comes with replaceable lenses, a larger 2,150mAh battery, 105GB of usable built-in storage, and a new Subject Follow feature that can automatically track subjects in 360-degree footage.
With 120MP panoramic photos and 4K/120fps recording in single-lens Boost mode, DJI is positioning the Osmo 360 II as a versatile camera for creators, travelers, and action shooters.
DJI Osmo 360 II Overview
A familiar design with some practical upgrades
The Osmo 360 II retains the compact vertical design of its predecessor, so there isn't a dramatic visual redesign.
However, DJI has made the camera slightly larger to accommodate the upgraded hardware and bigger battery. It measures 61 × 36.3 × 81mm and weighs 183 grams, keeping it relatively portable for travel and action shooting.
On the front, there is a 2-inch touchscreen that can be used to frame shots, change camera settings, and preview footage.
The camera also carries an IP68 rating, allowing it to withstand dust and water. DJI says it can be used underwater at depths of up to 10 meters without an additional waterproof case.
Replaceable lenses make the camera easier to maintain
One of the most practical changes is the introduction of replaceable lenses.
Because a 360 camera uses lenses positioned on opposite sides of the body, they are more exposed to scratches and accidental damage. With the Osmo 360 II, users can replace damaged lenses instead of replacing the entire camera.
For creators who regularly use their camera outdoors, this could make the Osmo 360 II considerably easier to maintain over the long term.
8K/60fps is the biggest camera upgrade
The Osmo 360 II features dual 1/1.1-inch square HDR CMOS sensors with an f/1.9 aperture.
DJI claims the sensors can capture up to 14.5 stops of dynamic range, helping preserve detail across bright highlights and darker portions of a scene.
But the headline feature is video recording.
The camera can capture native 8K 360° video at up to 60fps, giving creators more frames to work with while maintaining the high resolution needed for reframing 360-degree footage.
For situations where a full 360-degree view isn't required, the camera can switch to single-lens mode.
It supports:
- 8K/60fps panoramic video
- 6K/60fps panoramic video
- 4K/60fps single-lens recording
- 4K/120fps single-lens Boost mode
The 4K/120fps mode should be particularly useful for action footage and slow-motion sequences.
AI SuperNight 2.0 targets low-light shooting
Low-light performance has also received attention.
The Osmo 360 II introduces AI SuperNight 2.0, which is designed to improve image quality when shooting in darker environments.
This should make the camera more useful for creators shooting at night, indoors, or during evening travel scenes where conventional 360 cameras can struggle with noise and loss of detail.
DJI has also introduced Subject Follow, which can automatically track a subject within 360-degree footage.
This means creators can capture the entire environment while allowing the software to keep the selected subject prominently framed.
120MP panoramic photos
The Osmo 360 II isn't limited to video.
DJI's new 360 camera can capture up to 120MP panoramic still images, giving users plenty of resolution for reframing and cropping after shooting.
It also supports HDR panoramic photography and RAW/JPEG formats.
The high-resolution output should be particularly useful for travel photography, immersive content, and social media creators who want more flexibility when choosing the final composition.
Bigger battery and built-in storage
DJI has also increased the battery capacity compared with the previous generation.
The Osmo 360 II features a 2,150mAh battery, up from the 1,950mAh battery used in its predecessor.
According to DJI, the camera can record for up to 100 minutes at 8K/30fps under its testing conditions.
For storage, the camera includes 128GB of internal flash storage, with around 105GB available for users.
There is also a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand storage for longer recording sessions.
That's particularly important with 8K 360-degree video, where file sizes can quickly become substantial.

HithX Verdict
The DJI Osmo 360 II is more than a simple resolution upgrade.
Native 8K/60fps recording gives creators significantly more flexibility when capturing and reframing 360-degree footage, while AI SuperNight 2.0, Subject Follow, and improved dynamic range make the camera more capable across different shooting conditions.
The addition of replaceable lenses is arguably just as important. Since 360 cameras expose their lenses during normal use, being able to replace a damaged lens could save users from having to replace the entire camera.
Add the larger battery, 105GB of usable internal storage, 120MP panoramic photos, and 4K/120fps recording, and the Osmo 360 II looks like a substantial upgrade for creators who regularly shoot immersive or action content.
For travelers, vloggers, action sports creators, and anyone looking for a flexible 360-degree camera, DJI's second-generation Osmo 360 is shaping up to be one of the more capable options in its class.
