A protruding fisheye lens is the part of a 360 camera most likely to meet pavement first. The DJI Osmo 360 II addresses that weak point directly with user-replaceable lenses, while pushing panoramic capture to native 8K at 60 fps.

The second-generation camera uses a 1-inch square HDR imaging system with a claimed 14.5 stops of dynamic range. AI SuperNight 2.0 targets cleaner low-light footage, while 120-megapixel HDR stills provide ample resolution for reframing.

DJI also retains 105GB of built-in storage. Spotlight Follow can track a selected subject in 360 footage and export a reframed clip at up to 4K30 through DJI Mimo or Studio.

The practical upgrade is the glass. An ion-sputtered coating improves scratch resistance, but damaged lenses can now be swapped rather than sending the entire camera away. That matters more for an action camera than another incremental resolution bump, particularly against increasingly capable 360-degree rivals.

DJI launched the Osmo 360 II internationally on September 3. European pricing starts at €589, with shipments expected September 15; DJI has not announced U.S. pricing or availability.
