At IFA this week, DJI introduced the Osmo 360 II — a compact 360-degree camera that quietly redraws the boundary between professional imaging and everyday portability. Built around a pair of industry-first 1-inch square sensors, it captures the full sphere of human experience at 8K and 60 frames per second, a resolution most dedicated cameras still cannot reach. In a world where moments are increasingly worth preserving in their entirety, DJI's answer is a device small enough to carry anywhere, durable enough to survive it, and now thoughtfully designed to be repaired rather than replaced.
