The DJI Osmo 360 achieves its impressive all-around video quality by taking advantage of a pair of 1/1.1-inch sensors, which is larger than some other offerings, and supporting 10-bit color. You can really see this in the camera’s output, with colors that are vivid and bold, to the extent that you may need to dial them back a bit in post if you want something more natural. With support for up to 50 frames per second at 8K when recording in 360 degrees, or 120 fps at 4K when shooting with only a single sensor, you’ll have plenty of material to work with. In our testing, it lasted only two hours at 30 fps, which is around the time the internal storage fills up anyway.
If you’re planning on doing any serious talking with your Osmo 360, you’ll be pleased to know that it connects directly to DJI’s range of wireless lavalier microphones, including the excellent and often discounted DJI Mic 2 and Mic Mini. If you want to mount it on something other than the included 1.2-meter selfie stick, it has both DJI’s magnetic attachment system and a more traditional ¼”-20 tripod mount. The DJI Mimo app lets you control the camera and adjust any setting, and there’s also a simple editor for on-the-fly production. For desktop users, DJI Studio has even more in-depth settings and editing if you don’t want to pay for Premiere. There are options.
The DJI Osmo 360 is one of our favorite action cameras, and is especially attractive at the discounted price point, but be sure to check out our full review for more details, or head over to our full roundup to see what else is available.
