The DJI Osmo 360 II delivers sharp 8K 60 fps video—the highest frame rate for 360 cameras—but its replaceable lenses are the standout innovation for an action camera. Priced at €589 ($680), it undercuts the Insta360 X6 while offering improved low-light performance and dynamic range. However, it lacks US availability, a significant drawback for American buyers.

The camera features dual 1/1.1-inch sensors capturing 180-degree views stitched into 360-degree footage, with 120-megapixel panoramic photos. Its 2-inch touchscreen display, USB-C port, and waterproof design maintain user-friendly handling. Internal storage of 105GB exceeds the X6's 47GB, though battery life at 105 minutes trails the X6's 140 minutes.

A major upgrade is the NFC tap-to-connect feature, resolving DJI's app connectivity issues. Most notably, lens replacement is now straightforward and affordable—€39 ($45) for a kit with tools, taking under five minutes. This dramatically improves repairability for users engaging in demanding activities.
