Global camera news outlet PhotoRumors has published the latest leaked specs and details for three major upcoming releases set to clash for dominance in the next-generation 360-degree action camera market: the ‘Insta360 X6’, the ‘Insta360 Luna Pro’, and the ‘DJI Osmo 360 II’.
Gathered from FCC certifications, leaked user manuals, and warehouse supply chain leaks, here is a breakdown of the key specs and features of these upcoming flagships and new camera lines.
1. Insta360 X6 – Redesigned Form Factor & Major Sensor Upgrade
- Shorter, Wider Design: Departing from the traditional tall vertical body of the X series, it has been redesigned into a shorter, wider form factor reminiscent of the Osmo 360 for improved portability.
- Dual 1/1.1-inch Sensors: Upgraded from the previous X5’s 1/1.28-inch sensors, the larger dual 1/1.1-inch sensors significantly boost night shooting (PureVideo) and low-light image quality.
- 8K 50fps 360° Video: Pushing past the 8K 30fps limit of previous generations, it supports up to 8K 50fps 360-degree video recording.
- 120MP Stills & Fast Charging: Powered by 42MP sensors per lens, it shoots 360 photos up to 120MP and supports PPS fast charging that reaches a full charge in roughly 33 minutes.
2. Insta360 Luna Pro – Leica-Co-Engineered Gimbal Camera
- Leica Co-Engineering: A new gimbal camera line developed in optical and color spectrum collaboration with Leica to deliver signature 'Leica color' and optical rendering.
- 1-inch CMOS Sensor: Targets creative professionals by pairing a large 1-inch sensor with a high-performance handheld gimbal system.
3. DJI Osmo 360 II – User-Replaceable Lens & Bigger Battery
- Replaceable Lens Design: Addressing the fixed-lens vulnerability of its predecessor, it adopts a modular lens design that allows users to replace damaged lens covers themselves.
- 8K 60fps Video & Increased Battery: Retains the 1/1.1-inch sensor while pushing video capabilities to 8K 60fps. Battery capacity has been bumped from 1,950mAh to 2,150mAh for extended shooting times.
✍️ Editor's Note
"The battle between Insta360 and DJI for leadership in the 360-degree and gimbal action camera space is reaching an all-time high! While Insta360 gears up with the redesigned X6—boasting dual 1/1.1-inch sensors and 8K 50fps video—alongside the Leica-partnered Luna Pro, DJI is firing back with the Osmo 360 II featuring user-replaceable lenses, 8K 60fps recording, and a larger 2,150mAh battery. For creators planning to upgrade or enter the 360 action cam ecosystem this fall, the competition promises to deliver some truly impressive gear!"
