DJI Osmo 360 II gets better night video and cloud backups

dji osmo 360 II camera firmware update

Imagine filming a sunset, a crowded city street, or a wild mountain trail without ever having to decide where to point your camera. That’s the appeal of a 360 camera: you capture the entire scene and worry about the framing later. DJI is now making that idea even more compelling with a new Osmo 360 II update that improves low-light video, cleans up close-range panoramic photos and, perhaps most usefully, makes it easier to send all those massive 360 files to the cloud.

DJI sets final support date for first Osmo Action camera

Back in 2019, DJI entered the action camera market with something to prove. The original Osmo Action wasn’t just another GoPro alternative; it was the first mainstream action camera with a front-facing color display, making it dramatically easier for vloggers and creators to frame themselves without guessing. Combined with RockSteady electronic stabilization, 4K/60fps recording, and a rugged waterproof design, it quickly became one of DJI’s most memorable consumer products. Now, that pioneering camera is officially reaching the end of its journey.

Buying your first drone can be surprisingly intimidating. You start browsing online, only to be bombarded with terms like flight modes, obstacle sensing, tracking algorithms, return-to-home, and camera sensors.

The DJI trick every social media creator should know

dji drone vertical video shooting guide for instagram and tiktok

If you’ve ever filmed an incredible drone shot only to crop away half of it for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts, you’re not alone. Traditional drone cameras capture wide landscape footage. That’s perfect for YouTube and TVs, but not so much for today’s vertical-first social platforms. Cropping a horizontal video into a 9:16 format often means sacrificing image quality or cutting out parts of your scene. The good news? If you own a relatively recent DJI drone, you may not need to crop at all.
