Value-wise, the £410 ($550) launch price for the Normal Combo undercuts Insta360’s comparable bundles by a good margin, which solely provides to the enchantment. This package deal comes with the digicam, one battery, a rubber lens cowl, a tender carry case, a cleansing material, and a USB-C to USB-C cable. For many who need a extra full starter equipment, the Journey Combo prices £540 ($700) and has all the above plus a selfie stick, magnetic mount, three batteries, and a charging case.
Whereas the Osmo 360 is obtainable just about in every single place else, DJI has determined to not launch within the US “by way of official channels” presently, most likely because of the tariff scenario and DJI’s ongoing difficulties with the US federal authorities. A DJI spokesperson tells me there isn’t a estimated timeline for a US launch, although issues may change sooner or later.
Oddly, you’ll be able to technically purchase the Osmo 360 by way of retail channels like Amazon, Adorama, and B&H, although inventory could also be restricted. DJI’s Mavic 4 Professional drone was equally accessible at these retailers at launch a couple of months in the past, however is now out of inventory.
Supersized Sensors
Returning to efficiency, the Osmo 360’s twin 1/1.1-inch sq. sensors are its major promoting level, so I used to be curious to see if the bigger 2.4μm pixels (twice the dimensions of the sensor pixels on the Insta360 X5) and assist for 10-bit shade made a distinction in tough lighting circumstances.
In shiny daylight, the Osmo 360’s footage is sharp and detailed, with colours that pop, generally an excessive amount of. On my video of a bicycle journey alongside the coast, the sky veered into that barely synthetic turquoise you will get when processing turns into a tad over-enthusiastic. Nonetheless, the stabilization is rock-solid, and the automated selfie stick removing works flawlessly. Taking pictures at 8K 50 frames per second in 360 mode (or 4K 120 fps in single-lens mode) gave me loads of flexibility for post-shoot reframing, and the D-Log M profile held up nicely after I graded some clips in put up.
