I’ve been experimenting with 360 cameras since 2017, always chasing new ways to capture images. Back then, the fun was real, but the limitations were frustrating — low resolution, poor dynamic range, and no real support for serious color grading. For years, I waited for someone to finally release a 360 camera with 10-bit color, 4K output, and a sensor that could actually hold up in challenging lighting.
That wait is (mostly) over. DJI’s first 360 camera, the Osmo 360, checks all the right boxes on paper: a 1-inch sensor, 10-bit color, and D-Log M. The image quality alone made me decide to keep it. But is it perfect? Not quite. The hardware feels solid, but the software and firmware aren’t there yet — stitching lags behind Insta360, the desktop app is bare-bones, and I’d love to see better export options. I really wish DJI will release a DaVinci Resolve plugin, since anyone buying this camera probably cares a lot about color grading.
