DJI just released the Osmo Action 5 Pro last month and it quickly became one of the best action cameras available. The drone company apparently isn't satisfied with just entering the action cam market.

A new FCC listing discovered by Jasper Ellens on X suggests that DJI is about to launch its first 360-degree camera. The filing mentions a device called the DJI Osmo 360, which could be a true competitor to the Insta360 X4, our pick for best 360-degree camera.

Unfortunately, the FCC listing does not provide much detail. The application was only uploaded to the FCC's database on October 18, and some documents are still confidential. This indicates that the FCC is not testing the possibility of a new camera, but also limits the specs we might see.

Despite the lack of details, we can make some assumptions based on the Osmo Action 5 Pro and the Osmo Pocket 3 (cameras we strongly recommend).

To be fair to DJI, it took several iterations to reach current standards for the Pocket and Action cameras.

The recent Osmo Action 5 Pro is a stronger competitor to the GoPro Hero 13 Black and Insta360's One RS.

DJI action cameras have the lowest resolution of the top cameras available, at 4K only. However, they have larger sensors and perform better in low-light situations. It also has excellent internal audio and has excellent waterproofing standards. It is also less expensive than its competitors.

The Osmo Pocket 3, on the other hand, is a near 5-star blogging camera with a great screen, larger sensor, and incredible versatility. Our review noted that it has its own wireless microphone connection and a poor smartphone app, but these can be improved, especially with an app.

DJI generally prefers large sensors and good low-light performance over high resolution. This means that the Osmo 360 should offer up to 8K resolution and at least 5.3K resolution, which is not available on other cameras; the Insta360 X4 struggles with low light and recommends dropping to 5.3K.

DJI can build its own system in the 360-degree space by combining a larger sensor with powerful image stabilization.

That means DJI would have to create an intuitive app for editing 360-degree videos and photos, and as far as the Osmo Pocket 3 is concerned, it is unclear whether it is ready to do so.

Will DJI be able to achieve these metrics as it moves into new segments? Possibly, but we won't know until we have the device in our hands.
