DJI’s New 360 Camera: What’s It All About — and When Will It Drop?
DJI might finally be stepping into the 360 arena — and creators are watching closely.
With Insta360 and GoPro dominating immersive video, DJI has yet to drop a true 360 camera of its own. But according to insider leaks and patent activity in 2025, that could change fast. A DJI 360 cam could shake up the entire creative space.
So what’s the buzz all about? What could DJI bring to the table — and when might it launch?
🔄 Why Creators Are Hyped for DJI’s 360 Entry
DJI already owns gimbal stabilization, drone footage, and action cams like the Action 5 Pro. But their tech would be a natural fit for 360, especially with their:
🔍 AI tracking expertise (from DJI Pocket & drones)
📸 Advanced image processing
🎤 Solid audio from DJI Mic 2 integration
🧠 App ecosystem (DJI Mimo, LightCut, etc.)
A DJI 360 camera could seriously rival the Insta360 X4 or even future GoPro MAX 2 models if it’s packed with smart features and seamless workflow.
🧠 Predicted Features (Based on Patents & DJI Patterns)
✅ 1. Dual 8K Lenses (or 5.7K+ per lens)
To compete with the Insta360 X4, DJI would likely push high-resolution — possibly offering 8K 360° video or higher.
✅ 2. Built-In AI Auto-Edit & Voice Control
Expect DJI to include hands-free AI tools that follow subjects, remove the selfie stick, or reframe footage for YouTube Shorts and Reels.
✅ 3. Invisible Selfie Stick + Advanced Horizon Lock
Stabilization is DJI’s strength. We could see perfect horizon leveling + full 360-degree motion capture without warping.
✅ 4. Deep DJI Mic 2 & Drone Integration
Imagine pairing the 360 camera with the DJI Mic 2 — or even mounting it on a drone for aerial 360° shots. It’s all in their wheelhouse.
🕒 When Will It Drop?
DJI’s release pattern suggests they may unveil the 360 camera in late 2025, just ahead of the holiday season. They tend to launch action and pocket cams between September and November.
So if this camera’s real — we’ll likely hear teasers by fall and see a full release by November 2025.
