According to a May 31 report from IT Home, DJI is preparing to enter the competitive 360-degree camera market with the upcoming launch of the Osmo 360 panoramic camera. The source of this leak, @Independent Photographers Union, shared the first real-world spy shots of the device, showcasing a sleek design that positions it as a direct challenger to the likes of Insta360 and GoPro MAX 360. The DJI Osmo 360 is expected to officially debut in July and will feature a magnetic base and dual-lens layout reminiscent of the Shadowstone sports camera. One notable advantage is its compatibility with existing DJI Action camera batteries, which enhances user convenience and ecosystem integration. The Osmo 360 will reportedly support 5.7K resolution video capture in full 360 degrees, offering a powerful solution for immersive content creation. In addition to high-resolution recording, the camera is said to include electronic image stabilization and a waterproof case, making it suitable for outdoor and action scenarios. As for imaging hardware, sources suggest the Osmo 360 may sport a 1-inch sensor—although this specification has yet to be finalized. A larger sensor would offer significant improvements in image quality, especially in low-light environments, placing the camera in a strong position against its market rivals. DJI’s entry into the 360-degree segment marks a strategic expansion, as its current product lineup—including the Osmo Action 5 Pro—has yet to address the panoramic video space directly. With this new camera, DJI aims to go head-to-head with category leaders like Insta360 and GoPro. In terms of pricing, the DJI Osmo 360 is expected to align with the GoPro MAX 360, which currently retails for 2,598 yuan on JD.com in China. This positions it competitively in the premium action camera tier, potentially drawing attention from creators seeking both performance and value. DJI's rumored entry into this space signals a new era of innovation for 360-degree video content, and with a launch around the corner, all eyes will be on how the Osmo 360 performs against its seasoned competitors.
