If you thought 360 action cams had settled into a groove, DJI just shook the field. The company has pushed its Osmo line forward with the Osmo 360 II, a camera that pairs high-resolution capture with practical upgrades that users actually asked for.

Launched globally after a brief debut in China, the Osmo 360 II replaces the July 2025 Osmo 360 and brings nearly ten substantial changes aimed at closing the gap with rivals like the Insta360 X6. Most obvious is the move to interchangeable lenses. No more wrestling with tiny tools when a lens gets scratched or cracked. Swap it. Done. It is a small change that matters every time the rig takes a knock.

Video specs are attention-grabbing. The Osmo 360 II records true 360-degree footage at 8K and up to 60 frames per second, an upgrade from the previous model that topped out at 50 fps. For slow-motion storytellers, DJI offers 4K at 120 fps using one lens, and a high-speed 240 fps mode when both lenses are engaged. That flexibility turns dizzying action into smooth, sharable scenes.

Under the glass sit dual 1/1.1-inch sensors that claim a 14.5-stop dynamic range. That’s a technical way of saying highlights and shadows retain more detail in contrast-heavy situations. DJI also nudged the battery capacity up roughly 10 percent to a 2150 mAh cell, while boosting video throughput to a 220 Mbps bitrate. Quick access features include NFC Quick Connect and a new magnetic mounting system that speeds setup and teardown on location.

Pricing is straightforward. The base Osmo 360 II arrives at 589 euros, with an Adventure Combo — bundled with extra accessories — at 739 euros. Optional extras are priced to match the camera's modular intent: a lens replacement kit for 39 euros, a battery-boosting monopod at 99 euros, and a heavy-duty clamp for 49 euros. DJI also plans to release an invisible waterproof housing in the coming months for deeper-water or harsher-weather shooting.

Make no mistake: this is DJI aiming squarely at the upper end of the 360 action market. Interchangeable optics, higher frame rates, stronger dynamic range, and faster data rates are all features creators wanted. The result is a camera that feels like a pragmatic evolution rather than a gimmick.

For content creators weighing system choices, the question is now less about which brand has the flashiest marketing, and more about which ecosystem and accessory lineup fit a particular workflow. The Osmo 360 II brings the kind of incremental but meaningful upgrades that tip that balance for many shooters.

Someone will take it underwater. Someone else will strap it to a car roof. Either way, expect to see a lot more 8K 360 clips in feeds soon.
