If you’re in the market for a new 360-degree camera, you’re about to get a pretty interesting choice. Both the Insta360 X6 and the DJI Osmo 360 II are landing within a day of each other. Insta360 is expected to show off the X6 on August 12, and DJI is set to drop the Osmo 360 II just hours later on the 13th.
Both cameras are looking pretty similar on paper: roughly 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors and at least 8K50 video in full 360 mode. The designs, though, are staying in their own lanes. DJI is sticking with that distinctive square shape from the first Osmo 360.
The clearest look, though, comes from a slightly rough but useful unboxing video shared by Igor Bogdanov on X. He opens up a full bundle and puts the new camera right next to last year’s original Osmo 360. The biggest obvious upgrade? The battery. It’s now a 2,150 mAh cell instead of the old 1,950 mAh one, about a 10% bump. That should give you noticeably longer recording times, especially if you’re shooting high-res 360 video for a while.
Other leaks and regulatory filings point to a few more improvements: faster USB-C charging and, according to some reports, user-replaceable lenses. Pre-orders have already started in China, and DJI has confirmed the August 13 launch window there. Global availability and final pricing are still under wraps.
The next couple of days should show us how the Osmo 360 II’s bigger battery, possible frame-rate jump, and overall package stack up against the new Insta360. For now, that leaked unboxing is the best preview we’ve got of what DJI has cooking.
