Value-wise, the £410 ($550) launch value for the Normal Combo undercuts Insta360’s comparable bundles by a good margin, which solely provides to the enchantment. This bundle comes with the digicam, one battery, a rubber lens cowl, a tender carry case, a cleansing fabric, and a USB-C to USB-C cable. For individuals who need a extra full starter package, the Journey Combo prices £540 ($700) and has the entire above plus a selfie stick, magnetic mount, three batteries, and a charging case.
Whereas the Osmo 360 is out there just about all over the place else, DJI has determined to not launch within the US “by official channels” at the moment, most likely as a result of tariff scenario and DJI’s ongoing difficulties with the US federal authorities. A DJI spokesperson tells me there is no such thing as a estimated timeline for a US launch, although issues may change sooner or later.
Oddly, you may technically purchase the Osmo 360 by retail channels like Amazon, Adorama, and B&H, although inventory could also be restricted. DJI’s Mavic 4 Professional drone was equally accessible at these retailers at launch a couple of months in the past, however is now out of inventory.
Supersized Sensors
Returning to efficiency, the Osmo 360’s twin 1/1.1-inch sq. sensors are its essential promoting level, so I used to be curious to see if the bigger 2.4μm pixels (twice the dimensions of the sensor pixels on the Insta360 X5) and help for 10-bit coloration made a distinction in difficult lighting situations.
In shiny daylight, the Osmo 360’s footage is sharp and detailed, with colours that pop, typically an excessive amount of. On my video of a bicycle trip alongside the coast, the sky veered into that barely synthetic turquoise you will get when processing turns into a tad over-enthusiastic. Nonetheless, the stabilization is rock-solid, and the automated selfie stick elimination works flawlessly. Capturing at 8K 50 frames per second in 360 mode (or 4K 120 fps in single-lens mode) gave me loads of flexibility for post-shoot reframing, and the D-Log M profile held up properly after I graded some clips in put up.
