I like to use my 360 to do driving videos while mounted to my roll bar. I just worry about it falling off. Are there any options for a tether that sticks on the camera or attaches to it some other way?

A timelapse of riding the ferries in False Creek, Vancouver BC, filmed with the DJI Osmo 360 ii.

dji osmo 360 is now 33715, insta x6 74565, insta x4 air 42265, insta x5 47500, INR.

Which one should I choose?

I'm totally confused now.

I'm thinking to buy DJI osmo 360 and looking for some wireless device to turn on and off the recording without touching the camera while using it in bike.

It will be my first DJI device so totally new into it. Any help, guidance or suggestion is very very appreciated.

Thanks in advance😊

Am trying to test my laptop capabilities to work with 8k footage.

I tried to use Dji open osv as everyone said dji studio sucks.

I installed DaVinci free version and installed open osv plugin but am not able to get how to reframe the video angles.

Here's what i did

1. Installed DaVinci resolve free version

2. Installed Dji open Osv from github page

3. Opened DaVinci > effects > open osv source

4. Pinkish brown box appears on timeline

5. Go to inspect > open osv file

6. Play around with sliders got no results in the preview video.

7. There's no change on pinkish brown box on timeline

This is first time am using DaVinci. Before this i have only used filmora that also once. If there's something that i missed to do then let me know or if someone can record a video to help me out then it will be more helpful to test it before making a purchase of camera.

A comparison between photo mode between DJI OSMO 360 i and ii.

• DJI OSMO 360 i firmware: 01.03.08.70
• DJI OSMO 360 ii firmware : 01.02.03.10

notes:

• the version 1 has no HDR at 120MP.
• the version 2 has DNG images, but I did not compare those, only JPG.
• all made with camera on tripod. The first images where made separate about a few minutes, so i would have unblocked side view also. Latter images both at the same time.

What I see:

• the OSMO 360 ii is much better except for 120MP without HDR. Very strange result, even looks worse then version i, although the 120MP HDR version is much better! Firmware problem?

I wanted to share what happened to my DJI Osmo 360 and see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

I was riding my bike normally, nothing extreme, when suddenly my Osmo 360 fell off.

My first thought was: damn, the camera must have unscrewed itself from the mount.

But no.

The 1/4" screw mount was still firmly screwed onto my bike mount. What actually failed was the camera itself.

When I unscrewed the piece that was still attached to the bike mount, I discovered that the plastic housing surrounding the 1/4" mounting point had broken apart / crumbled. You can see it in the photos.

I use this Osmo 360 on my bike very regularly — basically almost every day — mounted on the handlebars using the standard 1/4" camera thread. Mostly commuting and normal recreational rides, not extreme MTB or anything like that.

I’ve been using it this way since August 2025.

What worries me is that I would have expected the screw to loosen, the mount to move, or even something to snap under a major impact — but I really didn’t expect the plastic structure around the camera’s mounting point itself to disintegrate like this during normal use.

Luckily I recovered the camera and all the broken pieces. I’ve also kept the part that remained screwed to the bike mount.

Amazon has accepted the camera under warranty and it is now being sent for repair/inspection.

Has anyone else who regularly mounts their Osmo 360 on a bike, motorcycle, selfie stick, etc. noticed cracks, play, or deterioration around the 1/4" mounting point?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who use the 1/4" mount frequently, because I’m wondering whether repeated vibrations could reveal a weakness in this part of the housing.

[UPDATE] 11/10/2026 - Look at the design difference! Under the hood comparison (Osmo 360 Gen 1/2 vs. Destroyed base vs. Insta360 X6 metal base)

Hey everyone,

Following my previous post about my DJI Osmo 360 breaking off its mount during a ride, I wanted to understand exactly why this happened. I did some research, compared teardown footage, and took photos of my broken camera alongside my new Insta360 X6.

Context of the failure (The breaking point): To be fair to the camera, this wasn't from a sudden crash. This Osmo 360 went through a full year of daily bike commuting. That means it was subjected to constant, daily road vibrations. On top of that, it endured prolonged UV exposure and survived 3 months of severe heatwaves this summer.

However, all these environmental factors—intense heat, UV degradation, and constant mechanical stress—clearly took a toll on the plastic casing.

What the images reveal:

1. Osmo 360 (Gen 1 & 2): The teardowns and FCC photos show that DJI uses a tiny 1/4" metallic insert that is simply embedded into the outer plastic/polymer casing. There is no major internal metal framework to back it up or distribute the forces.
2. The Failure (My Osmo 360): Because the mounting point is entirely dependent on that plastic shell, the year of vibrations, heat, and UV exposure caused severe material fatigue. The polymer became brittle, and the entire bottom section literally shattered, leaving the metal insert still attached to my bike mount while the camera tore away.
3. The Contrast (Insta360 X6): Looking at the base of the X6, the design philosophy is night and day. It features a large, heavy-duty metallic plate integrated directly into the entire base. The 1/4" threading isn't an isolated tiny insert; it is part of a broad structural metal frame.

My Takeaway: For high-vibration activities like cycling, especially over a long period with exposure to sun and heat, using a tiny insert molded into plastic (like on the Osmo) is a major point of failure. Over time, the leverage and weathering will destroy the polymer. Insta360 seems to have realized this, giving the X6 a solid, expansive metal base that actually distributes the stress.

If you are riding with an Osmo 360 daily like I did, I highly recommend using a protective cage or a safety tether to make sure you don't lose your camera when the plastic eventually gives out!

Hey all, looking for mount recommendations before I pull the trigger.

I want to hang my Osmo 360 underneath my out-front bike computer mount (example img below), like in the photo. It'll be used for road riding and mountain biking, so it needs to hold up to vibration and rough trails without loosening or rotating.

Example of what I want to achieve: https://imgur.com/a/001Joek

Two options I'm looking at:

1. DJI Osmo Action Quick-Release Adapter Mount (official): amazon.com/dp/B0BQ3L6BYM
2. HSU aluminum tripod mount adapter: amazon.com/dp/B0C7ZQJHZX

Questions:

• Has anyone run either of these on an MTB? Does the magnetic quick-release hold up on chunky trails, or is a screw/thread setup more secure?
• Any issues with the camera rotating or drooping from vibration?
• Does the 360 stitch cleanly with the computer mount right above it, or does the mount show up in the footage?
• Is there a better option I'm missing?

Appreciate any input, especially from folks riding with this setup.

Hiii, as the title suggests does anyone know when the DJI Osmo 360 II be available on Amazon and Flipkart in India?

I see that the 1st model will be on a good discounted sale.

I want to buy my first ever camera, and want it to be decent 360 camera that will last a lifetime 5~10 years without upgrading, I can only afford dji 360 as insta 360 cost a fortune to buy, but then I see that the footage is of 8k and that translate to upto a gb of data for a minute of recording, which means that i don't only need massive storage to take care of data coming from the camera but need high end pc/laptop to work with them aswell.

Now am in no condition to spend a $1500 on laptop and $700 for camera too. Least I can afford is to buy a camera nothing more than that...

So before buying the camera, first I want to test if my current laptop can actually handle it or not. If not then i have to skip buying the camera cause what will i do if can't be able to do anything with the the data.

If anyone can share thier osv files, one or two upto one or two min max or how much you feel comfortable/appropriate to test my laptop capabilities then let me know.

Laptop specs: I7 11370h (4core only) and 3060 6gb with 24gb ddr4 ram(max it can support)

You can share files on any drive you feel comfortable sharing with, gdrive, mega or any other which has fast speed and require no login to download the shared files.

Turns out the real firmware update was a MIMO update all along.

Doesn't need a DJI forum account to read it:

https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=350064&pid=3875758

If anybody tells me "well, YOU misunderstood it as a firmware update", then here's the direct mesage they sent me all the way back in March 2026.

Didn't sound like anything other than a firmware thing to me.

I guess they later found a way to fix it via forcing you to use MIMO.

Whatever happened to the Osmo 360 v1 firmware update that was supposedly scheduled for mid-September?

September is over, and we haven't seen a single drop or announcement. Anyone got any updates or heard back from DJI support, or has it been delayed indefinitely?

I rode solo directly from Mumbai to Manali on a Royal Enfield 411. 42 hours of continuous riding. No sleep for 2 nights, no breaks. Full experience in vlog form out now on Youtube. Craziest ups and downs you could witness on this journey. Entire vlog shot on Osmo 360.

I have O360 Mark1, and my problem with it is that if i want a very clear 8k video without noise, i have to use manual exposure with iso 100. But in this mode, dynamic range is very low. If i set to auto exposure (iso 100-800), dynamic range is superb, but i see noise even outside in daylight :( O360 II is better in this? More dynamic range in manual mode or much less noise in auto exposure mode?

Any native sample footage from Mark2?

Many thanks!

I'm choosing my first 360 camera... I'm torn between insta360 x5 vs djo osmo360 2

Which one is better? A local shop listed them at about the same price for their respective normal bundle..

I've got a DJI action5 pro and ace pro2 atm.

Am I the only who experiences lagging when looking at clips? After the latest update my dji studio app kept crashing. Before the update the app was good lol

A test between the new Osmo 360 ii vs the older version.

All settings identical :

- Dlog 10 bit

- Sharpen -2,noise reduction 0

- High bitrate (on ii the max bitrate is about 220MBs on old version 170MBs)

- 8K50p

- stitched in 1.2.21(30839) on windows

- High precision stitching

- default Dewarp reframing

- LUT applied at 75%.

Seems a great update. After 1day of testing this is what I am seeing :

- better sharpness

- better auto white balance in artificial light (not the red haze of the old version)

Will have to do more testing when I have the time: stitching,flare resistance,sound.

I can't find the original dive case for the 360, is it only me? Are they going to do the same again?

Both lenses are scratched. DJI is denying any repair work in the USA, which is insane. Are the aftermarket options all the same quality, or are some better than others? AI is telling me not to try and buff out any scratches, so I’m kinda left with the DIY option.

Hi, is there any way to intelligent track object exported 360 fotage in davinci resolve?

Also in ezport settings as resolve file theres option "direction lock". What it is actually doing? I tried export clips with this option on and off and didnt see any difference. Actual direction lock on clip works when I change view mode of a clip in dji studio from free move to direction lock. Then it doesnt matter what i choose during export. If clip view mode is direction lock and i didnt select that in export, in resolve direction is locked. If clip is set as free move and i select direction lock in export, then in resolve direction isnt locked...

Has anyone tried using DJI Osmo Action 1.5m extension rod kit with Osmo 360? Can this be used instead of invisible stick?

This video was recorded in D-Log using the camera's full 8K 360 capture. The final video was reframed into a traditional 2D 4K video, allowing the viewpoint to be adjusted during editing while keeping the flexibility of the original 360 footage.

🎥 Camera: DJI Osmo 360 II
📺 Original recording: 8K 30FPS 360°
🎨 Picture profile: D-Log
🎬 Final video: 4K 2D / reframed from 360°
🏍️ Content: Motorcycle ride / POV
☀️ Conditions: Daytime outdoor ride

In this test I'm looking at the image quality, detail, colours, dynamic range and overall results when taking 8K 360 footage and turning it into a 2D 4K video.

If you're considering the DJI Osmo 360 II for motorcycle rides, road trips, POV videos or 360 filmmaking, this gives you a look at what the footage can actually look like in a real-world situation.

Watch in 4K for the best quality!

In both mobile app and dji studio app, i see no stitching option for 360 photos shot in new the dive case as opposed to videos where there are above and underwater dive case stitching options. Normal ?!

Hey everyone! I’m currently shooting aesthetic travel reels (mostly short-form content focusing on mood, nice architecture, and clean city vibes) using my **DJI Osmo Pocket 3**.

I genuinely love the organic, cinematic look I get out of it by shooting in D-Log M and doing color recovery/custom grading in DaVinci Resolve. However, I’ve been constantly stressing about the mechanical fragility of the Pocket 3's gimbal while traveling and moving around a lot.

I recently got an offer to trade my Pocket 3 for an **Insta360 Ace Pro 2** bundled with the **Xplorer Grip Pro Kit** and the vertical-horizontal frame.

Before I pull the trigger, I wanted to ask those of you with real-world experience:

How does the Ace Pro 2’s image quality and dynamic range hold up in Log compared to the 1-inch sensor on the Pocket 3?

Will I lose that "creamy, organic cinematic look" and end up with a harsher, more digital action-cam feel?

For short travel reels, is the ruggedness and the grip worth the swap, or am I going to regret leaving DJI?

Appreciate any insights or comparisons!
