The latest DJI Osmo 360 II release date update points to two separate milestones. Chinese technology media reported that reservations opened in China at 8:00 p.m. China Standard Time on August 7, while a Chinese-language report says a region-specific teaser on DJI’s Hong Kong website schedules an official reveal for August 13, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. GMT—equivalent to 8:00 p.m. in Hong Kong and mainland China.

The two dates are not necessarily contradictory. A reservation campaign can open before a formal product presentation. More importantly, a reveal time is not automatically an on-sale date, shipping date or worldwide release schedule.

When this article was updated, the reported Hong Kong teaser could not be located through a stable, publicly accessible DJI URL, and DJI’s global product site, Store, Media Center and Download Center still listed only the original Osmo 360. No global Osmo 360 II product page, price, complete specification sheet or confirmed shipping date had been located. We therefore describe August 13 as a reported official reveal time, not a confirmed global retail release date.

The strongest independently accessible product evidence remains the FCC record, including a user-manual exhibit listed as “DJI Osmo 360 II Quick Start Guide” under FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512. This article separates the reported regional teaser activity, confirmed regulatory facts and unverified specifications, then explains what buyers, retailers and accessory suppliers should check before making compatibility claims.

Editorial note: Information was checked on August 8, 2026, China Standard Time. STARTRC is an independent accessory manufacturer and is not affiliated with DJI. STARTRC has not tested an Osmo 360 II production unit. The reported August 13 reveal and China reservation activity should not be interpreted as a confirmed global sale or shipping date. Specifications and compatibility must be checked again after DJI publishes the official product page and documentation.

DJI Osmo 360 II Release Date: What August 7 and August 13 Mean

On August 6, IT Home reported that DJI had announced an August 7, 8:00 p.m. reservation opening through its China channels. The article links to a DJI Weibo video, making the reservation notice more substantial than an anonymous leak.

A separate Chinese-language report says DJI’s Hong Kong website displayed a tagline translated as “All Around. All Epic.” and an August 13, 12:00 p.m. GMT reveal time. The report also describes an official social-media teaser containing 360-degree footage of mountain biking, dancing and skiing. These scenes indicate how DJI may position the camera, but they do not establish recording resolution, frame rate, stabilization performance, waterproofing or any other hardware specification.

The reported schedule can be read as a normal launch sequence:

The global DJI Media Center, DJI Store and DJI Download Center did not show an Osmo 360 II launch page or manual when this article was updated. Until a stable DJI teaser or product-page URL can be linked directly, the August 13 schedule should remain clearly attributed rather than presented as an independently verified global release date.

The Short Answer

• Reported reveal: A region-specific DJI Hong Kong teaser is reported to show August 13 at 12:00 p.m. GMT, or 8:00 p.m. Hong Kong time.

• China status: Reservations were reported to open on August 7 at 8:00 p.m. China Standard Time (UTC+8).

• Regulatory status: FCC ID 2ANDR-OQ0022512 covers model OQ002 and lists an Osmo 360 II quick-start guide.

• Still unknown: Global sale and shipping dates, price, complete specifications and accessory compatibility.

What the FCC Record Confirms

The public FCC record for 2ANDR-OQ0022512 identifies the applicant as SZ DJI Osmo Technology Co., Ltd. and describes the equipment as an OSMO 360 Camera.

The record lists a grant date of December 21, 2025. Because this is a regulatory authorization rather than a retail announcement, the date should not be used to infer a launch schedule.

The “Osmo 360 II” Name

The clearest naming evidence appears in the FCC exhibit metadata. A user-manual file is titled:

STC_DJI Osmo 360 II Quick Start Guide-FCC,IC REV01

This is strong evidence that DJI used Osmo 360 II internally for the product submitted for testing. The reported China reservation activity and Hong Kong teaser make the name more credible, but a stable global retail page had still not been published when this article was updated.

Wireless Testing

The filing includes separate reports covering:

• Bluetooth

• Bluetooth Low Energy

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi

• 5 GHz Wi-Fi

• Multiple-input multiple-output operation

• RF exposure and SAR testing

These reports establish that the device was tested for specific wireless transmissions. They do not confirm camera resolution, frame rates, image quality, waterproofing or operating time.

The Reported 2,150 mAh Battery

Notebookcheck, citing imagery associated with the regulatory filing, reported a battery label showing 2,150 mAh and 3.86 V. Those figures equal approximately 8.3 Wh.

For comparison, DJI’s official Osmo 360 specifications list a 1,950 mAh, 7.5 Wh battery for the first-generation camera. On capacity alone, 2,150 mAh would represent an increase of approximately 10%.

That does not establish a 10% increase in recording time. Runtime also depends on processing load, display use, thermal management, recording resolution, frame rate, wireless activity and firmware. Until DJI publishes standardized test results, the battery label should be treated as a capacity clue—not a performance claim.

It also does not prove that first-generation batteries, charging cases or chargers will be compatible with the new camera. A different capacity can be introduced in a physically compatible pack, but it can also accompany changes to dimensions, contacts, firmware or charging requirements.

What Has Not Been Officially Confirmed

Pre-launch reporting has discussed several possible upgrades. Most reports trace back to FCC imagery, prototype photographs or a small number of leak accounts rather than independent product testing.

Some reports have used the phrase “8K/60fps,” but no public DJI specification sheet currently supports it. Similarly, reports discussing NFC and prototype photographs largely trace back to the same leak chain. Repetition across several websites does not turn one leak into several independent confirmations.

How It Compares With the Original Osmo 360

The original Osmo 360 provides useful context, but its specifications should not be copied into a second-generation product table as if they were unchanged.

DJI officially lists the first-generation model with 1-inch 360-degree imaging, native 8K 360-degree video, 120MP panoramic photos, a magnetic quick-release ecosystem and a 1,950 mAh battery. Its body measures 61 × 36.3 × 81 mm and weighs 183 g. DJI also specifies 10 m waterproofing for the camera body under stated conditions.

None of those physical or environmental specifications has been confirmed for Osmo 360 II.

This comparison uses the official first-generation specifications only as a baseline. It is not a claim that the new camera will retain or exceed every feature

The Compatibility Questions Buyers Should Ask

For accessory buyers and retailers, a visually similar camera can still create significant compatibility problems. A change of only a few millimeters may affect a fitted case, screen protector, lens cap or dive housing.

Batteries and Charging Accessories

Wait for confirmation of the battery part number, external dimensions, contact layout and supported charging system. Capacity alone cannot establish cross-generation compatibility.

Screen Protectors

Screen size, active display area, corner radius, bezel shape and speaker or sensor openings all need to match. Do not list an existing screen protector as compatible based only on an apparent 2-inch display.

For example, STARTRC’s tempered-glass screen protector for the original DJI Osmo 360 (SKU 12210001) is cut for the first-generation camera. It should not be presented as compatible with Osmo 360 II without a separate fit test.

Lens Caps and Lens Protectors

Dual-lens cameras require precise alignment around both lens assemblies. Any change to lens curvature, ring dimensions or locking geometry can affect fit and stitching performance.

The same warning applies to STARTRC’s tempered-glass lens protector for the original DJI Osmo 360 (SKU 12210022): its listing supports the current camera, not the unannounced second-generation model.

Protective Cases and Camera Cages

Body dimensions are only the first check. Button positions, doors, microphones, ventilation areas, mounting interfaces and battery access must remain unobstructed.

STARTRC’s current protective frame and camera cage for DJI Osmo 360 (SKU 12210005) illustrates why an apparently similar body shape is not enough to establish compatibility. Every opening and contact point must align with the production camera.

Carrying Bags and Hard Cases

Storage products vary in compatibility risk. A flexible bag may tolerate small dimensional changes, while a molded hard case or fitted insert may not. Current first-generation examples include:

• Carrying Bag for DJI Osmo 360 Adventure Combo — SKU 12210007

• Double-Layer Hard Case for DJI Osmo 360 Adventure Combo — SKU 12210008

• Carrying Bag for DJI Osmo 360 Standard Combo — SKU 12210009

• DJI Osmo 360 All-in-One Nylon Carrying Bag — SKU 12210014

These products are listed for the original Osmo 360. Their suitability for Osmo 360 II remains unverified until the new camera’s final dimensions and kit contents are known.

Dive Housings

A dive housing is one of the highest-risk items to assume compatible. Lens alignment, sealing surfaces, button placement and internal volume must all be verified for the exact camera model.

Selfie Sticks and General Mounts

Products using a standard 1/4-inch connection may have a better chance of working across generations than body-fitted accessories. However, the new camera’s bottom interface and magnetic mounting arrangement still need official confirmation or physical testing.

Should You Buy the Original Osmo 360 or Wait?

The answer depends on urgency rather than unverified specifications.

Buying the original Osmo 360 may make sense if you need a 360-degree camera now and its documented features meet your requirements. It already has official specifications, established accessories and known workflows.

Waiting may be more appropriate if you are not in a hurry, want to compare final image-quality and battery claims, or plan to purchase several body-specific accessories at the same time. With a reveal reported for August 13, buyers who can wait a few days may soon have better information. That date still does not establish when the camera will go on sale or ship globally.

Retailers should avoid accepting compatibility claims from suppliers unless those claims are supported by official dimensions, installation photographs or physical fit tests.

What Retailers and Accessory Buyers Can Do Now

Before purchasing or listing Osmo 360 II accessories, request:

1. The exact compatible model name and model number.

2. Photographs showing the accessory installed on the production camera.

3. Confirmation that buttons, doors, microphones and mounting points remain accessible.

4. Battery or electronic-interface verification where relevant.

5. Written clarification on whether compatibility was established through physical testing or only estimated from leaked dimensions.

STARTRC’s current guidance is to treat all body-specific Osmo 360 II accessories as unverified until DJI publishes official documentation or production-camera testing becomes possible.

The linked STARTRC products above are current-generation Osmo 360 accessories and are included to illustrate where exact fit matters. None should be relabeled or advertised for Osmo 360 II unless compatibility is established through official documentation or testing with production hardware.

Our Take

The China reservation activity, reported August 13 reveal and FCC record make Osmo 360 II a credible near-term product. They still do not provide enough information for a final specification comparison or accessory compatibility claim.

For buyers, the sensible next checkpoint is the expected August 13 presentation and DJI’s official product page. For accessory brands and retailers, it is the production camera itself: exact-fit products should not be relabeled for Osmo 360 II until installation and access have been verified.
