DJI Osmo 360 Review: A Strong Start
Regarding the price, the launch cost of £ 410 ($ 550) for the standard combo undervalues the comparable beams of the insta360 by a fair, which only adds to the call. This packaging is delivered with the camera, a battery, a lid of rubber lentils, a soft transport case, a cleaning cloth and a USB-C cable to USB-C. For those who want a more complete start -up kit, the adventure combo costs £ 540 ($ 700) and has everything above a selfie stick, a magnetic support, three batteries and a load box.
Although the OSMO 360 is available almost everywhere else, DJI has decided not to get started in the United States “through official channels” for the moment, probably due to the pricing situation and the continuous difficulties of the DJI with the American federal government. A DJI spokesperson tells me that there is no estimated calendar for an American release, although things can change in the future.
Curiously, you can technically buy the OSMO 360 via retail channels like Amazon, Adorama and B&H, although the actions can be limited. DJI’s Mavic 4 Pro drone was in the same way with these retailers when launching a few months ago, but is now out of stock.
Oversized sensors
Returning to the performance, the dual 1/1.1 inch square sensors of the OSMO 360 are its main sale argument, so I was curious to see if the largest pixels of 2.4 μm (twice the size of the sensor pixels on the insta360 x5) and the management of the 10 -bit color made a difference in delicate lighting conditions.
In broad daylight, the images of the OSMO 360 are clear and detailed, with colors that pop, sometimes too much. On my video of a bike ride along the coast, the sky turned into this slightly artificial turquoise that you can get when the treatment becomes a little too enthusiastic. However, stabilization is solid and the automatic elimination of selfie sticks works perfectly. The shooting at 8K 50 Images per second in 360 mode (or 4K 120 IPS in monomotor mode) gave me a lot of flexibility for post-paper cropping, and the D-LOG profile kept when I classified a few post clips.
