DJI is preparing for the official presentation of the Osmo 360 II, publishing teasers and real footage from the new 360-degree camera, while the company’s Hong Kong page points to August 13, 2026.
DJI has now shown both close-up views of the upcoming Osmo 360 II and a second teaser featuring video presented as footage captured with the new camera. At the same time, DJI’s official Hong Kong new-products page lists an event for August 13, 2026, while earlier posts on Chinese channels and social media created some confusion around August 7 and the opening of reservations.
The new generation is particularly interesting because the original Osmo 360 already set a high bar, offering native 8K panoramic video at up to 50 fps, 6K at up to 60 fps, 120MP photos, and 105GB of available built-in storage. This means DJI will need to deliver meaningful improvements in its second generation rather than a minor refresh.
DJI Shows Osmo 360 II Footage for the First Time
The latest teaser goes beyond simply showing the camera itself. It includes scenes attributed to the Osmo 360 II and designed to demonstrate its ability to capture the entire environment surrounding the user. The footage includes activities such as mountain biking, dancing, skiing, and other action-oriented scenes.
The emphasis is clearly on the fundamental advantage of 360-degree cameras: creators do not need to decide on their final composition while recording. The environment is captured in every direction, allowing the viewing angle to be selected later through reframing and editing.
The first teaser focused more heavily on revealing the hardware itself, using close-up shots leading toward the lens and upper part of the camera. The second shifts attention toward the resulting footage and real-world action use.
The Confusion Around August 7 and August 13
One of the more interesting aspects of the announcement is its timing. Material appearing on DJI’s social channels referred to reservations opening on August 7 at 8 PM, without an entirely clear time zone, while similar reports from China suggested an unveiling on the same day. However, a full international announcement including specifications and pricing did not follow.
Instead, DJI’s official Hong Kong new-products page displays August 13, 2026, while Digital Camera World reports a time of 12 PM GMT. Based on the information available as of August 10, this is the strongest indication of the next official DJI presentation associated with the product.
It has not yet been confirmed whether the same date will apply simultaneously to all international markets or whether availability will roll out gradually by region.

Technical Specifications Remain Unknown
Despite the teasers, DJI has not yet published a complete specification sheet for the Osmo 360 II. The new generation’s resolution and maximum frame rates, exact sensor configuration, lens changes, battery life, storage capacity, stabilization capabilities, and low-light performance have not been confirmed.
That matters because the original Osmo 360 already features a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor using a design DJI describes as delivering the equivalent of 1-inch 360-degree imaging, an f/1.9 aperture, panoramic 8K at up to 50 fps, 6K at up to 60 fps, and a maximum panoramic photo resolution of 120MP.
The first generation also includes 128GB of built-in storage, with 105GB available to the user, while DJI rates it for up to 100 minutes of continuous 8K/30fps panoramic recording under its laboratory test conditions.
What to Expect From the Second Generation
The teasers suggest DJI wants to keep reframing freedom, action capture, and the ability to create dynamic shots from a single recording at the center of the Osmo 360 II experience. They do not yet provide enough information to draw firm conclusions about the actual improvement in image quality.
For that reason, reports of specific new resolutions, frame rates, or other upgrades should currently be treated as unconfirmed until DJI publishes the official specifications.
What We Think
The Osmo 360 II is entering a category in which DJI’s first-generation model already offered very strong specifications, so the important question is not simply whether the numbers will increase. Real image quality, stitching, stabilization, difficult-light performance, thermal management, and battery life will matter more. Until the full announcement, the teasers are enough to confirm that the second generation is approaching, but not enough to determine how significant the upgrade will be.
