New DJI Osmo 360 action camera reveals itself as smaller alternative to Osmo 360 II and Insta360 X6

Igor Bogdanov has returned with new information about DJI's nascent Osmo 360 series. To recap, Bogdanov was the first source to post images of the Osmo 360 II. Rivalling the Insta360 X6 (curr. $699 on Amazon), the Osmo 360 II launched globally over two months ago in all but the US.

Nonetheless, it seems that DJI is already developing a third Osmo 360 action camera. Specifically, Bogdanov asserts that he has received the first image showing DJI's next Osmo 360-branded action camera. As the embedded tweet below shows, the leaker now claims that the Osmo 360 Air was pictured in a tweet shared on October 21.

From what we can gather, the Osmo 360 Air is a shorter and lighter alternative to the Osmo 360 II and other 360-degree action cameras. With that said, the taller of the two action cameras shown appears to be the Insta360 X6 rather than the Osmo 360 II. Unfortunately, specifics about the Osmo 360 Air remain unknown for now, though.

To that end, the action camera has not appeared at regulatory bodies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Setting that aside, testing photos like these tend to surface months before a device's release. Hence, we would not be surprised if DJI waits until early 2027 before launching its next 360-degree action camera.
