DJI Osmo 360

Manufacturer: DJI

The DJI Osmo 360 is a 360-degree action camera built around a dual-lens optical system and a broad feature set suited to both casual and demanding shooting scenarios. Its IP68-rated waterproof construction allows use in challenging conditions, while the 2″ touch screen and removable 1950 mAh battery keep hands-on control straightforward in the field. Weighing 183 g and measuring 81 mm tall with a thickness of 36.3 mm, the camera sits in a compact form factor without sacrificing connectivity options like Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.

On the imaging side, the DJI Osmo 360 captures stills at 120 MP through a BSI CMOS sensor pair with a wide aperture of f/1.9, a maximum ISO of 51200, and manual controls for both shutter speed and white balance. Video recording reaches 2160p at 120 fps across a 170-degree field of view, with a movie bitrate of 170 Mbps, phase-detection autofocus, continuous AF tracking, and horizon leveling all supported natively. Additional capabilities include slow-motion recording, timelapse, invisible selfie stick support, voice commands, live streaming, and a four-microphone stereo audio setup, rounding out a well-specified action camera package.

Pros

IP68 waterproof rating allows use in wet and submerged environments without additional housing
Removable battery means spare batteries can be swapped in the field to extend shooting sessions
Wi-Fi 6 support enables fast wireless data transfer and connectivity
Four-microphone stereo array captures spatial audio without requiring an external recording device
Phase-detection autofocus, continuous AF, and AF tracking work together to maintain subject sharpness during video recording
Invisible selfie stick support removes the mount from 360-degree footage natively in-camera

Cons

Battery life of only 1.6 hours limits extended recording without a spare or recharge
No 3.5 mm headset jack or external microphone input restricts audio upgrade options
GPS is not included, so location data cannot be embedded in footage or images
No USB Type-C port, which limits compatibility with modern charging and data transfer accessories
Raw video recording is not supported, reducing post-processing flexibility for color grading

Who is this for?

This camera is well-suited to outdoor and adventure-focused content creators who need a rugged, self-contained shooting solution. Its IP68 waterproof rating makes it a practical choice for water sports, diving, hiking in rain, or any activity where exposure to the elements is expected. The wide 170-degree field of view, invisible selfie stick support, and in-camera horizon leveling make it particularly effective for immersive 360-degree vlogging and action footage, where the camera is often mounted to a body or handheld extension. The removable battery, fast charging, and 128 GB of internal storage also suit users who shoot on the go across multiple sessions without reliable access to a desktop or docking setup.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require extended uninterrupted recording will find the 1.6-hour battery life limiting, making this camera a poor fit for long-form event coverage or documentary-style shooting where swapping batteries frequently is impractical. The absence of a 3.5 mm jack and external microphone input means it is unsuitable for creators who depend on dedicated external audio equipment such as shotgun microphones or lavalier setups for interview or narrative work. Additionally, the lack of raw video output will frustrate videographers who rely on high-latitude color grading workflows in post-production, as the camera does not provide the uncompressed data needed for that level of color control.

Final Verdict

The DJI Osmo 360 is a technically capable action camera built around a clear purpose: delivering immersive 360-degree footage in demanding real-world conditions. Its IP68-rated waterproof construction combined with a 120 MP dual-lens system, wide field of view, and a robust autofocus suite make it a well-rounded option for outdoor and adventure-oriented creators who prioritize shooting flexibility over studio-grade audio control or extended raw post-production workflows. The removable battery, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and invisible selfie stick support reflect a design shaped around on-the-go usability. Where it falls short — notably in battery endurance, external audio options, and raw video output — those limitations are consistent with its intended use case rather than signs of an underdeveloped product. For creators whose primary focus is waterproof, hands-free 360-degree capture in active environments, the DJI Osmo 360 delivers a well-defined and cohesive feature set.
