DJI Osmo isn't a single camera — it's DJI's whole line of handheld and wearable imaging devices, separate from their drones (Mavic, Air, Mini). The newest member of that family, the DJI Osmo 360, is DJI's first 360° camera, launched on July 31, 2025.

What Is DJI Osmo?
Osmo is the product line DJI (Da-Jiang Innovations, better known for the Mavic and Mini drone series) uses for its non-drone cameras — devices you hold, wear, or mount rather than fly. The Osmo family includes several very different products:
| Model | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Osmo Pocket | Ultra-compact 3-axis gimbal camera | Handheld stabilized video, vlogging |
| Osmo Action | Rugged action camera | Sports, diving, GoPro-style use |
| Osmo Mobile | Smartphone gimbal stabilizer | Stabilizing phone video |
| Osmo 360 | 360° camera (dual-lens, spherical capture) | Immersive video, virtual tours, VR content |
So "what is a DJI Osmo camera" doesn't have one answer — it depends which Osmo you mean. If you've seen 360° footage credited to DJI, it's almost certainly the Osmo 360, the newest and only spherical camera in the lineup.

What Is the DJI Osmo 360 Used For?
Based on its form factor and specs, the Osmo 360 is built for:
- Travel and adventure content — pocketable, hybrid 360°/flat shooting
- Virtual tours, real estate, and architecture — DJI's color science and dynamic range suit interior and property walkthroughs
- VR and interactive media — native 360° capture for immersive playback
- Creators who want one camera instead of several — it shoots both spherical 360° and standard flat video from the same body
Is Insta360 the Same as DJI?
No — they're separate, competing companies. DJI is a Chinese drone and camera manufacturer best known for the Mavic and Mini drone lines, plus the Osmo handheld series (including the Osmo 360). Insta360 is a different Chinese company that specializes specifically in 360° cameras — the X5, X4, and X3 lines. They're direct competitors in the 360° camera space, not the same brand, and not affiliated.

Where to Host and Share DJI Osmo 360 Footage
Once you've shot 360° video or photos on an Osmo 360, you still need somewhere to host and embed them for the web — DJI's app handles editing, not web delivery. Mirame360 accepts equirectangular 360° video and photo uploads from any camera, including the Osmo 360, and handles encoding and CDN-ready embeds so you can drop your footage into a website, blog, or virtual tour without managing your own streaming infrastructure.
