New DJI Osmo 360 update improves video, audio, privacy controls

DJI has released a new firmware update for Osmo 360, expanding the camera’s creative toolkit in some meaningful ways. Firmware v01.02.07.20, along with the DJI Mimo app v2.4.8 for iOS and Android, introduces new low-light video options, audio upgrades, and even a privacy safeguard — subtle but practical changes that reflect how people are using the camera in real life.

One of the standout additions is SuperNight mode in Single Lens mode. This feature supports resolutions of 2.7K (16:9 or 4:3) and 4K (16:9 or 4:3) at 25 or 30 frames per second, while maintaining an ultra-wide field of view. In simpler terms: footage captured at dusk, in city streets, or around campfires should now look noticeably clearer, brighter, and less noisy. Low-light performance is often a weak spot for compact cameras, so this update directly addresses a common challenge for creators who don’t always shoot in daylight.

Another key change is support for DJI Mic 3, which allows the Osmo 360 to connect with up to two transmitters at once. The setup process is straightforward — link a Mic 3 transmitter, swipe down from the liveview, tap the wireless mic icon, and select TX1 or TX2. For interviews, vlogging with a partner, or simply improving audio quality, this new flexibility means users no longer have to rely solely on the built-in microphones.

DJI also added an album password feature to Osmo 360, like it did for the Action 5 Pro camera recently. Once enabled in the settings, a password is required to access playback after powering on the camera. It’s a simple addition, but for those concerned about privacy — whether it’s protecting personal projects, travel footage, or sensitive client material — it offers peace of mind.

Of course, the update also includes the usual round of minor bug fixes, which should translate into smoother performance. While these changes don’t grab headlines, they often make day-to-day use feel more reliable.

The Osmo 360 was already positioned as one of the most advanced 360-degree cameras on the market, with dual 1-inch HDR sensors and 8K video capture. Competing with the likes of Insta360, its strengths have been image quality and robust design. This firmware update doesn’t reinvent the device, but it sharpens its appeal by addressing areas that matter in practice.
