The complete 360 package

★★★★★4.8 out of 5

Class-leading image quality, the best editing app in the business, and a spec sheet that finally does it all. Expensive, but worth it for committed creators.

👍 What we like

  • Class-leading low light — cleaner than the X5 and the Osmo 360 II in dim scenes
  • 8K50 with 10-bit color and Dolby Vision: more frames, more grading headroom
  • The best 360 software: invisible selfie stick, AI reframing, huge accessory catalog
  • Bigger 2,600 mAh battery than its direct rivals

👎 What we don’t

  • The most expensive camera in the X line to date
  • DJI’s Osmo 360 II counters with native 8K60 and 105GB built-in storage
  • Overkill if you only shoot casual daylight clips — the X4 Air covers that for less
