If you’ve been holding off on a 360 camera, the wait just ended. DJI’s second-generation panoramic shooter, the DJI Osmo 360 IIwent on sale this week, fixing the one complaint everyone had about the first model. Here’s the confirmed release date, pricing, and specs, plus where it fits alongside DJI’s other gear, like the Osmo Pocket 4P and its phone stabilizer lineup.

DJI Osmo 360 II Release Date: When Can You Buy It?

DJI launched the Osmo 360 II in China on August 13, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. local time. The standard bundle sells for roughly 3,899 HKD (about $499), with an Adventure Combo priced near $599.

There’s a catch for US shoppers: DJI hasn’t announced American pricing or a release date, and its US store has no listing yet. This mirrors the recent Osmo Pocket 4P global launch, which took about six weeks to reach international markets after its China debut. If DJI follows that same timeline, a wider rollout could land before the end of September.

DJI Osmo 360 II Specs: What’s Actually New

Camera and Video Quality

The headline upgrade is a pair of 1.1-inch sensors recording native 8K video at 60 frames per second, up from the original’s 8K/50fps cap. Photos top out at 120 megapixels in panoramic mode, and dynamic range climbs to 14.5 stops in D-Log M, double the brightness tolerance of the first Osmo 360, according to DJI. A new AI SuperNight 2.0 mode also targets cleaner low-light footage.

Battery, Storage, and Toughness

The camera ships with a 2,150 mAh battery, rated for about 100 minutes of continuous 8K/30p recording, and fast-charges to 80% in 22 minutes. Internal storage grows to 128GB (105GB usable), plus a microSD slot supporting cards up to 1TB. Waterproofing is IP68-rated, holding up to 10 meters without a case, or 50 meters with DJI’s optional dive housing.

Replaceable Lenses

This is the change most owners actually asked for. The original Osmo 360 had fixed lenses, so a scratch meant a repair ticket. The Osmo 360 II uses swappable lenses with an ion-coated finish that DJI says survived 2,000 rubs of steel wool in testing without image degradation a real fix for a camera meant to live on a helmet or handlebar mount.

How the Osmo 360 II Fits DJI’s Broader Camera Lineup

Worth noting: the Osmo 360 II is a 360-degree action camera, not a mobile gimbal. If you want a phone camera stabilizer for handheld video, that’s the Osmo Mobile series DJI’s mobile stabilizer line built for smartphones, not panoramic capture. For single-lens action shooting, DJI’s Action 4 stays the smaller, pocketable pick. Comparing the three before buying? This roundup of compact action cameras for 2025 is a useful next stop.

Is the Osmo 360 II Worth Buying Right Now?

If you’re a current Osmo 360 owner frustrated by scratched lenses or capped frame rates, the upgrade is easy to justify. If you’re US-based and need a camera today, the Insta360 X6 is currently the only flagship 360 camera with confirmed stateside availability, worth weighing while DJI sorts out its release here.
