The Osmo 360 is DJI's first 360-degree action camera.

It can shoot 360-degree panoramic video at 8K/30fps.

Unfortunately, the camera won't initially be offered in the US.

DJI has unveiled its latest product. No, not a drone, but a camera -- the Osmo 360. This is the company's first 360-degree camera, and DJI has come out of the gate strong.

This camera is a powerhouse, capable of native 8K/30fps 360-degree panoramic video using two 1-inch square HDR sensors (square sensors allow for 25% more sensor utilization than traditional rectangular sensors). These sensors have a dynamic range of 13.5 stops, which, combined with the f/1.9 aperture, allow the camera to handle low-light or high-contrast shots.

Video can be shot in both 10-bit color depth, which allows for over a billion colors, and D-Log, which boosts dynamic range and allows for greater flexibility in post-processing.
