A not-so mysterious teaser has appeared on the DJI website that is clearly regarding the much-anticipated DJI Osmo 360 II. The page, which is only available if your region is set to Hong Kong, is entitled “All Angles. All Epic.” Along with a date of August 13 2026, 12PM GMT.

This appears to contradict other teasers, with a second teaser posted on DJI’s Instagram, stating: “DJI Osmo 360 II will be available for pre-order starting at 8:00PM on August 7th.” (translated using Google Lens). This would appear to corroborate another post that surfaced on Chinese social media and was reported on by Asobinet stating that the 360 camera would be “unveiled on August 7th.” However, as of yet, I haven’t seen any more information regarding the 360 camera’s launch...

The second Instagram teaser is a showreel of 360 footage, captured on the DJI Osmo 360 II, showing POV shots of mountain biking, dancing, skiing and more. When the teaser ends, it simply states: “Coming soon”.

A slightly earlier teaser was released, which features the same video present on DJI’s Hong Kong website. It starts with a top-down view of a square sensor, with the camera pulling back to reveal a lens and then the top of the camera itself. A fisheye lens is then overlaid over the top.

DJI hasn’t yet revealed any specs. However, I’m expecting some juicy upgrades from the Osmo 360’s already very impressive 8K / 50p and 6K / 60p video, 120MP panoramic stills, and 105GB available storage. It would appear that a few commenters are having fun coming up with some entirely unachievable specs, with one ‘hoping for’ “24k resolution, 2000fps open gate global shutter”.

News of the Osmo 360 II comes at a time when both DJI and its customer base face growing uncertainty when it comes to product availability in the US. Government restrictions targeting Chinese-made drones are well documented, but other DJI products have faced scrutiny, including the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and 4P. As such, it seems likely the Osmo 360 II will not be available in the US at launch.

Still, the DJI Osmo 360 II is releasing elsewhere and DJI’s teasers will have definitely put its competitors on notice. As soon as we know more about this impending release, we’ll be posting about it right here on Digital Camera World.
