GoKawiilDJI's Osmo 360 II debuts in Berlin, likely to skip US market due to FCC block
DJI unveiled its Osmo 360 II camera in Berlin, an upgrade over its predecessor with dual 1-inch square sensors capable of 8K60 recording, edging out Insta360's X6 which tops out at 8K50. The standout new feature is user-replaceable lenses, addressing a common failure point for 360 cameras. Because of an ongoing FCC restriction on new DJI hardware, the device is unlikely to launch officially in the United States.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The FCC block means American consumers may only be able to obtain this camera through gray-market imports, cutting off official support and warranty coverage. This continues a pattern of US regulatory friction limiting access to DJI's cutting-edge imaging hardware, even as the company keeps pushing technical improvements that outpace rivals like Insta360.
- Osmo 360 II offers 8K60 video, beating Insta360 X6's 8K50 ceiling.
- User-replaceable lenses solve a major durability issue in 360 cameras.
- US availability remains uncertain due to the FCC's block on new DJI products.
Insta360 X5 360 Camera — If DJI's Osmo 360 II likely won't reach US buyers, Insta360's X5 is the 360 camera you can actually buy here today. It shoots immersive spherical video with replaceable lens protection and the same reframe-later workflow that makes 360 shooting so fun for travel and action clips.
