The leaked DJI Osmo 360 appears to be bad news for the delayed GoPro Max 2, with rumors suggesting that DJI is preparing to launch its first 360-degree action camera soon. The leaks, based on FCC filings and fan-made mockups, suggest that the Osmo 360 will share design similarities with GoPro’s Max line, while also featuring DJI’s renowned build quality and cutting-edge technology.
Key features of the Osmo 360 are expected to include dual lenses for 360-degree video capture, a landscape screen for easy operation, and side-mounted microphones and battery compartments. Given DJI’s history of innovation in drone cameras and action cameras like the Osmo Action, this new device could offer strong competition to both GoPro and Insta360, two established leaders in the 360-degree action camera market.
The GoPro Max 2, which was announced in 2023 but remains unreleased, faces increasing pressure from this new DJI leak. As GoPro delays its flagship 360 camera, DJI is poised to enter the space and offer a potential alternative, especially if it can perfect features like 360-degree stitching and software editing — areas where Insta360 currently excels.
The leaked Osmo 360 suggests that DJI’s new action cam could be a game-changer, offering consumers more choices in the increasingly competitive 360-degree video market. With DJI’s reputation for high-quality drones and action cameras, the Osmo 360 could prove to be a disruptive force in this segment, further complicating GoPro’s position as it struggles to release the Max 2.
This news adds to DJI’s growing portfolio of consumer video products, and the Osmo 360 is expected to launch soon, likely before the end of the year, following the recent FCC filings.
