Welcome to the most detailed Dajiang Osmo 360, Shadow Stone X5 Comparative evaluation.
In addition to purchase suggestions and technical analysis, the image quality comparison part will also be interspersed with the samples of Shadow Stone Ace Pro 2 and some Dajiang Action 5 Pro.
In addition to the comparison between Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5, let's also see how far the picture quality of the strongest panoramic camera is from that of the flagship sports camera? Can you buy a panoramic camera instead of a sports camera to eat more than one fish?
I hope that we can help Yan Zuyifei who is ready to get on the bus. Let's drive now. A little later, I'm afraid Dajiang wants OTA, and the proof sheet will be redone
If you think the article is good, you are welcome to click three times. Please, this is really important to us, Dongdongdong.
The first panoramic camera in Dajiang [Dajiang Osmo 360] was released on the evening of July 30, 25, Price 2999 yuan , 800 yuan lower than the launch price of Shadowstone X5.
Dajiang Osmo 360 has Today's strongest panoramic camera/motion camera sensor, strongest photo and video recording specifications ——Square 1/1.1 CMOS, capable of shooting 8K 50fps video+120 megapixel photos.
Keywords: square sensor, higher pixel, non 2x2 OCL.
The specific specifications will not be re read. Look directly at the comparison table ↓ of Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5/X4/X3, which are the most complete in the whole network.
Popular Q&A
1. Save flow in advance: how to choose Dajiang Osmo 360 and Yingshi X5?
The following sample sheets and technical analysis are too long. Let's put the conclusion first.
Our picture quality ranking of Shenzhen Bay No.1:
[Panoramic video]: Dajiang Osmo 360>Shadowstone X5, but both are weaker than the 4K video recording mode of the motion camera (Osmo 360 is mainly strong in the dynamic range and pleasant metering);
Panorama : Dajiang Osmo 360 ≈ Shadow Stone X5, both stronger than the 12.5 million pixel mode of the Shadow Stone Ace 2 Pro, and significantly weaker than the 50 million pixel mode of the Ace Pro 2 (the details of the Osmo 360 are slightly stronger, but the photo compression rate is too high, erasing some high-frequency details. The dynamic range of the photo of shadow stone X5 is obviously larger, but the sharpening is too strong);
[Single shot video recording] : 5K mode of Dajiang Osmo 360 (when the light is sufficient)>4K extremely wide angle mode of Dajiang Osmo 360 ≈ Shadowstone X5 ≈ 4K mode of Shadowstone Ace Pro 2 and Dajiang Action 5 Pro, but both are significantly weaker than 8K mode of Shadowstone Ace Pro 2.
[Single lens photo] : Shadow Stone X5>Dajiang Osmo 360 ≈ 12.5 million pixel mode of Shadow Stone Ace 2 Pro, which is obviously weaker than the 50 million pixel mode of Shadow Stone Ace Pro 2 (the details of the two panoramic cameras are similar, but the dynamic range of Shadow Stone is larger).
Fold a letter. The deadline is August 8, 25, There may be an arms race for firmware update between the two sides, and the results are only valid for the firmware at this time.
Advantages of Dajiang Osmo 360:
It is the only thing that can 8K 50fps Panoramic/motion camera for video recording;
The first set can record 8K 30fps video all the time, but No overheating Panorama/motion camera of;
Video recording scale and frame rate specification , higher than shadow stone X5;
The 8K video recording also has a dynamic range of 13.5 gears, and has a 10bit D Log-M, while the shadow stone X5 is 8bit;
128GB UFS flash memory , with 105GB of free space, you won't be killed if you forget to bring your card (far ahead);
It can be used as a high-speed USB flash disk+advanced card reader, with writing exceeding 200MB/s and reading exceeding 600MB/s (far ahead);
WiFi 6+USB 10Gbps， They are 3 times and 6 times faster than their friends (far ahead);
Wake up and shoot faster than mobile phones, and can directly connect two DJI microphones;
It is compatible with the quick release bayonet and battery of Dajiang Action series, and retains the general 1/4 screw hole, with a large number of original and third-party compatible accessories;
Where remedial courses are needed:
1. The external lens can be removed and replaced, but it can not be replaced by itself like the shadow stone X5 (it is not convenient to send for repair or find a maintenance network on the way to travel, and it has disadvantages of security);
2. Complete various editing functions of mobile app and PC;
3. The width of the fuselage is too large, and the splicing safety distance is>75cm. When shooting in a small space such as the car, pay attention not to point the side to the main character;
4. There is no underwater model and diving shell;
5. Theoretically, like Shadow Stone, it can supersample videos and align the resolution of time-lapse photography and panoramic photos, but the firmware has not yet been implemented.
After the update in the summer of July 15, the shadow stone X5, although its overall image quality cannot be matched, can compete with the Dajiang Osmo 360, which is a strong generation of hardware. It is amazing that it can compete back and forth.
The core advantages of Shadow Stone X5 are Removable outer lens and cloud storage of shadow stone ——The new X5 has 12 months of 1TB of cloud space, which can automatically cloud backup+cloud editing+online sharing/viewing. Its material links can be opened in WeChat. Every time you travel and activities, you are the most beautiful person in the group and the circle of friends.
Other advantages are small, and the software part is easy to catch up with the firmware update in the later stage of Xinjiang:
1. Shadowstone has a more mature mobile phone and computer client, with various clip templates and AI clips;
2. The safety distance of panoramic splicing is smaller, and it is not easy to wear;
3. We cyclists all like the DASH CAM mode;
4. The microphone has better anti wind noise effect, larger screen and easier to hold;
5. There are various kinds of stickers, even white body versions.
Unfortunately, the main reason is that it heats up faster and cannot record 8K 30fps video for a long time. The proportion and frame rate of many video recording modes are lower than that of Dajiang Osmo 360.
2. Three generation laws? Do you want to prevent back stabbing?
Our opinion is—— It's time to buy.
Buying video equipment is mostly driven by travel or major events, Or maybe you've become a biker 。
Back stab prevention can save hundreds of yuan, but what is lost may be precious materials that will never be photographed again in a lifetime, which is not worth it (to put it mildly, the unexpected materials of our cyclists' recorders will be paid back if we use them last time).
And Dajiang Osmo360 has been pressed to 2999 yuan, there is not much price space for another stab.
If you are really worried, pay more attention to the disclosure of Dajiang and Yingshi around April next year, and meet the peak of the seafood market before the replacement.
As for not buying the first generation of the "Three Generation Law", it is just netizens playing tricks.
Dajiang Osmo 360 is not the model that created the panoramic camera category. Shadowstone X1, X2 and X3 are three generations of laws, but now they are X5.
Dajiang Osmo 360 stands on the shoulders of friends, and the hardware definition has reached the level of Shadowstone X6, such as gesture/voice control, the sports dashboard used by our cyclists, automatic focus and other software functions, product interaction, all of which can see the part of "honoring friends".
In terms of hardware, it is estimated that the 1/1.1 sensor of Dajiang Osmo 360 will continue to be used for many generations. After all, it has reached the physical limit of this volume.
Let's guess, The next generation upgrade point is estimated to be "improving the lens, self replaceable outer lens, improving the specifications of photography and video recording (The firmware of video supersampling may be updated in a few months?) , adding image chips, microphones to enhance wind noise resistance and increase batteries 。
Of course, it may also be directly nailed like Pocket 3, just updating the firmware constantly (depending on how powerful the next generation of Shadow Stone X6 is and whether it can put pressure on Dajiang).
3. Philosophy ♂ Question: What's the use of panoramic camera?
Generally, there are four uses:
Creative shooting ↑: Needless to say, we have been using the template of the Shadow Stone App since the X 2 evaluation five years ago ↑;
Shoot panoramic materials for VR/AR glasses : Real estate agents also love to use these VR/AR devices of Apple Vision Pro;
Individual shooting/vlog : The core is "shooting first, then shooting", which can also be used as multiple stands (shooting multiple objects at the same time). After all, there is no way to use the mirror when racing/cycling/skiing/surfing;
Our bikers tachograph : The risk of riding a motorcycle or a bicycle is much higher than that of a car, but the traditional tachograph cannot be installed. You will fix the panoramic camera on the helmet or the long pole at the rear of the car, so that you can take the front and rear pictures at the same time (mobile phones and sports cameras can only take unilateral pictures).
Dajiang has a corresponding cyclic video mode, and Shadowstone even has a separate tachograph mode (it can control the space occupied by cyclic video steplessly, and automatically start recording when power is turned off).
Both have“ Sport Dashboard ”Function, can add speed, inclination, acceleration, trajectory and other information to the video screen with GPS data of some watches such as Jiaming/Apple/Myjin/Huawei, and even fit files ↓.
4. Can it replace the sports camera?
It can be partially replaced. But the degree of substitution depends on your requirements for picture quality and how "bad" the shooting environment is.
Panoramic camera is the superior form of motion camera. It has more playing methods. If you cut it in half, you will get a larger vision of motion camera.
The sensor specifications of Dajiang Osmo 360 have exceeded all the sports cameras on sale (1/1.1 inch, 64 million pixels). Even a single lens can shoot 4K 120fps video with a 170 degree angle of view, or 5K 60fps video with a 155 degree angle of view (twice the ISZ zoom is done, so the angle of view is narrowed).
What's more, Dajiang Osmo 360 is 2999 yuan (2549 yuan for national subsidy), while the single shot Action 5 Pro is 2598 yuan (2208 yuan for national subsidy). 3. Can you stand the price difference of 400 yuan and more lenses and sensors?
After the picture quality is improved, Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadow Stone X5 This generation of panoramic camera is indeed a competitor of Pocket 3 and Action 5 Pro The image quality is already on top of the action 3 generation of motion cameras (The local details are 50% open, but the dynamic range is much stronger).
To a certain extent, the panoramic camera can be used as a vlog, interview (wireless dual microphone connection, just right), and dual camera for in car shooting (or shooting people and scenes at the same time), and the recording will not become a bottleneck - the single lens video can be hot switched between the front and rear cameras (without interruption or black screen), can be externally connected to the home wireless microphone, or use a Bluetooth headset as the audio source (Osmo 360 It can also reserve the local recording as a security backup, and support the third-generation AirPods, AirPods Pro 2, Huawei FreeBuds 4, SENA 50S, VIMOTO V10x and other Bluetooth headsets).
but The image quality of the panoramic camera is not as good as the flagship sports camera, nor is it durable . Shooting scenes such as hanging by the wheel, hard field, etc.: Your next sports camera must be a sports camera.
The convex fisheye lens of the panoramic camera is easy to be injured, and is different from the mechanical structure of Pocket 3. Although the external lens can be replaced for 159 yuan after sales, it has been several days since I sent it back for repair.
5. Purchase recommendation
Three generations of Shadow Stone are in the same hall, There are 1598 yuan X3, 2499 yuan X43298 yuan X5, and 2999 yuan Dajiang Osmo 360 (The specific differences can be directly skipped to the first comparison table).
Our purchase advice is that, The budget below 2000 yuan is shadow stone X3 with eyes closed (In the foreseeable 2 years, there will be no competitive products at the nearby price). The X4 can be skipped directly. The price difference between it and Dajiang Osmo 360 is too small. Unless it drops to around 2000, it is recommended to increase the price to become stronger.
The old panoramic camera is only recommended for taste or as a tachograph. In addition to their poor image quality, the new model "stands like a minion". The worst thing is that the outer lens cannot be disassembled, and if they fall, they will have to be overhauled. The maintenance cost is too high.
If only Occasionally, you need to use a panoramic camera for travel or activities. It is recommended to rent it on Taobao, Directly rent Dajiang Osmo 360 and Yingshi X5 flagship ships. The rent of other models is not much cheaper, but there is a big gap in the effect of the whole film, and the maintenance cost of the accidental injury is still high (Dajiang Osmo 360 and Yingshi X5, the official unilateral lens is only 159 and 199 yuan).
6. Do you want to buy additional batteries and memory cards?
For short trips and daily use, you don't need to buy batteries and memory cards.
Just to ask, are you sure you can shoot 83 minutes of 8K panoramic video in a day when you travel on short trips?
Built in 105GB storage, measured Can record 83 minutes of 8K 30fps video (25-08-07 firmware, 28 ℃ room temperature). PS: The higher the ambient temperature, the shorter the endurance.
Endurance is not a problem at all : The actual measurement of Dajiang Osmo 360 can record 102 minutes of 8K 30fps video, 2 minutes more than the official standard value. Fast charging is 50% in 12 minutes, and 90% in half an hour. It can be used again, and its endurance is longer than that of people.
7. What accessories are recommended?
There is only one rigid accessory: 1/4 screw self timer ——Dajiang Osmo 360 is not convenient to hold. When holding, our handsome face may block 1/4 of the picture.
The 1/4 screw self timer from the original factory and a third party can almost be bought at will. As long as it is not too thick, it will not lead to the error of panoramic picture splicing.
If the shooting environment is bad, you can consider a 69 yuan transparent lens protector. Officially, there is no glass version for the time being, so we can guard the third-party version.
Others are like neck bracket ↑ (this set was originally used for Action), helmet third view kit, bicycle tail kit, various handlebar clips, riding chest strap, shoulder strap bracket, etc, It is recommended to pick up free fish. These accessories are all gray eating artifacts, which are very suitable for the seafood market.
If you use accessory parts, you just need to buy a quick disconnect adapter for Action ↓, and basically everything can be connected.
Do not recommend accessories : 199 yuan adjustable quick disconnect adapter ↓, 1/4 screw hole at the bottom, texture is OK, but only two angles can be adjusted, and 199 yuan????
Why don't we take Action to quickly remove one hair of the adapter ↑, and the seafood market will cost more than 10 yuan, and the angle can be adjusted steplessly.
The following is the normal evaluation content
Content sorting is Science popularization, technical analysis, a large number of samples, appearance comparison, use experience, cold and hot knowledge summary.
Pre competition analysis
A panoramic camera is a 360 degree field of view combined by two fisheye lenses ↑↓ with a field of view of more than 180 degrees.
The actual imaging area is only the circle ↑ in the center of the sensor.
Disassemble Jerry's shadow stone X5 ↓ (strawberry flavor silicone grease) (periscope set is used) ↓
Surprise！ The periscope telephoto listens much, but I didn't expect that the fish eye ultra wide-angle lens can also use the periscope structure.
In order to reduce the thickness and facilitate panoramic synthesis, panoramic cameras have always been periscopic fisheye ultra wide angle lenses (the thinner the body, the smaller the blind angle of panoramic synthesis field of vision, the smaller the required fisheye lens angle, and the better the detail performance).
Dajiang Osmo 360 has passed the FCC certification (blueberry flavor silicone grease) since October 24 ↑
According to official information, Dajiang panoramic camera is The project is planned to be established in 2022, and the preliminary verification+prototype of the square sensor will be completed in 2023, and the components will be verified+delivered in 2024 。
This unknown Howell sensor is a square 1/1.1 type, 64 million pixels, 8000x8000, 1.2 μ m (2.4 μ m for daily use, 16 million pixels for 4000x4000 output). Maximum 13.5 gear dynamic range, Quad Bayer arrangement, non 2x2 OCL (good civilization!!!!! ）, physical size 9.6 x 9.6 mm (12.8 x 9.6 mm for 4:3 inches).
this The 64 million pixel high pixel big bottom scheme, not to mention panoramic cameras and sports cameras, is it OK for flagship phones to want it? (For mobile phones, whether it is the 1-inch Sony LYT-900 or the 200 million pixel Samsung sensor, the number of microlenses is still 50 million pixels, and the details are still 50 million pixels).
Dajiang is matched with F1.9 aperture Periscope fisheye glass lens , equivalent focal length 8mm, physical focal length 2.5mm. With hard coating, it can resist slight bumps.
It is also an external lens separation structure, but It can't be replaced like Shadow Stone X5 , have to send it for repair or go to the after-sales point for replacement.
1/1.1 type square sensor
In the field of panoramic/motion cameras, the last customized sensor is the 1/1.9 type 8:7 sensor of GoPro in 2022 (from Hero 11 to Hero 13 now): 27.6 million pixels, 5599x4927, and the highest 5.3K 60fps 16:9 video, which is essentially the longitudinal filling of the original 1/2 type 23.6 million pixel sensor.
Sports cameras/panoramic cameras/UAVs are generally sensors that pick up "leftovers" in the mobile phone supply chain, This can significantly reduce costs.
However, the needs of mobile phones and sports cameras/panoramic cameras are different:
For focusing, dark light enhancement and cost control, mobile phone sensors are mostly of 2x2 OCL micro lens structure (sacrificing detail performance, changing focus and dark light performance);
However, the motion camera/panoramic camera is a pan focus lens that does not need focusing, and it will be very difficult to use 2x2 OCL.
The 1/1.1 square sensor of Dajiang Osmo 360 actually cuts off 1/3 of the area ↑ on both sides of the 1-inch 4:3 sensor, so there is a saying that "the actual imaging area is the same as the 4-inch sensor".
PS: If the area of Dajiang Osmo 360 is 9 (3x3), the traditional 4:3 sensor is 12 (4x3), and the imaging circle area is 1.5x1.5x3.14=7.07 → the sensor utilization of Dajiang Osmo 360 is 79% (7.07/9), and the utilization of 4:3 sensor is 59% (7.07/12).
The 33% of the area that the panoramic camera will never use is paid, consumed, and heated, but it does not participate in the imaging (that's sad). Dajiang, a customized square sensor, is beneficial without harm (the only cost is to customize it, and you need to pay more).
The cost of square sensor decreases ↓, power consumption decreases ↓, and heating decreases ↓.
Correspondingly, The volume of lens and body decreases ↓ and the weight decreases ↓ (The shadow stone ONE RS of the 1-inch panoramic camera in those days, when the lens field did not completely cover the sensor, the body weight was 239g).
If and 1/1.28 type Compared with the shadow stone X5, the provincial current is that the sensor area of Dajiang Osmo 360 is only 23% larger, but the actual imaging area is 64% larger, and the aperture is also larger.
Officially disclosed Sensor cost, from high to low (Both machines can change the outer lens, 159 yuan and 199 yuan respectively):
1/1.1 type of two squares>1 inch of 4:3>1/1.1 type of square (Dajiang Osmo 360 single)>1/1.28 type (LYT-818).
In fact, it can also be verified from the maintenance price ↓, the single lens maintenance price of Dajiang Osmo 360 is 679 yuan (sensor+lens set), and the single lens of Shadow Stone X5 is 619 yuan (also sensor+lens set). The maintenance price of 1-inch mobile phone is between 900 and 1200 yuan.
Dajiang, a master of supply chain management, will definitely reuse this sensor in as many models as possible (for Dajiang and Yingshi, the replacement lenses are 159 yuan and 199 yuan respectively).
Let's guess, The 1/1.1 type square sensor is most likely to be used in the rear Dajiang Action 6 Pro motion camera, Dajiang Neo 2 and Flip 2 UAVs.
The sensor has high pixels and is not 2x2 OCL, so it will have better details. The square ratio is convenient for cutting into horizontal and vertical pictures, and it is also suitable for electronic anti shake.
Dajiang said, This Haowei sensor is monopolized by Dajiang this year, but it is hard to say next year.
Comparison of actual usable area and field of vision
The science popularization is almost enough, and hard dishes can be served.
The reason why the image quality of the panoramic camera cannot match that of the motion camera is that one picture can be said in one sentence ↓: When the sensor area is the same, the panoramic camera needs to accommodate several times the scenery of the motion camera (the panoramic camera needs to be turned on for 8K to catch up with the 4K of the motion camera) 。
Dajiang Osmo 360, sensor, imaging circle, coverage area of each mode ↑
The single lens extremely wide-angle mode of Dajiang Osmo 360 has an imaging area close to the 1/1.3 type sports cameras such as Dajiang Action 5 Pro (The four corners are a little missing.).
Focusing on the question, Yanzu may find that the four corners of the single lens 4K extremely wide-angle mode have exceeded the image field area of the fish eye lens (pay attention to the four corners that exceed) ↑. The information of those four corners depends on the extension of the corners of the fisheye lens (another debuff).
Panorama of panoramic camera, single lens photo, and comparison of field of view of moving camera ↑
The motion camera has a 155 degree field of view (Action 5 Pro) and the panoramic camera has a 170 degree field of view (Osmo 360), which is just the difference between the two.
In addition to perceptual cognition, data cognition ↓
The actual usable pixel area of Dajiang Osmo 360, In fact, it is close to the OV48C of 1/1.32 model (48 million pixels), and the available pixels are 47.27 million (70% more than Shadowstone X5)
and The actual usable pixel area of shadow stone X5 is slightly larger than 1/1.73 IMX686/IMX600, and the usable pixels are 27.81 million.
In addition to size differences, there are also differences in HDR on the chip:
The 8K and most modes of Dajiang Osmo 360 are 2.4 μ m pixel 4-in-1 mode , can play the 13.5 gear HDR dynamic range (2x3840 × 3840=7680 × 3840 for front and rear dual photography);
The LYT-818 of Shadowstone X5 has only 3072 pixels on the short side after the pixels are 4 in 1, and only the 5.7K mode is 2.4 μ m (the dynamic range of 13.5 gears can be played) (the 5.7K mode is 2x2880x2880, 78% less than the 8K mode).
In the 8K video of shadow stone, 8K (7680 × 3840) is actually over mined at 1.22 μ m and 11K (11904x5952=5952x5952x2). At this time, there is no dynamic range of 13.5 gears, but as long as the light is enough, it will have stronger detail performance in theory (in fact, Dajiang should also be able to do super mining, but the current firmware does not).
Cold and hot knowledge
The ultimate details of machines, photos and videos with similar levels are mainly related to the resolution. When the light is sufficient, the 4K video of the large sensor cannot win the 8K video of the small sensor in details. The 11K overdraft 8K should be more detailed than the default 8K.
The fish eye lens of the panoramic camera is the most bloody state on the cross axis. So when shooting a vlog, it's better to turn the angle of the body so that the lens is facing the target object (this is also the reason why the angle of the official adapter can be adjusted).
In order to facilitate the integration of panoramic photos and take good portraits, Panoramic cameras tend to increase exposure Yanzu who cares about this can manually pull the exposure.
Whether it's Dajiang Osmo 360 or Shadowstone X5, Long endurance mode will cut algorithm to save power , the picture quality is not as good as the normal mode. Unless the power is running out Pinning in the normal mode is the optimal solution.
The default single lens mode of Dajiang Osmo 360 is 5K 1.2 μ m small pixels (better resolution), while the BOOST extreme wide-angle mode is 4K 2.4 μ m large pixels (better dark light performance).
Image quality comparison: 1/1.1 inch vs. 11K
Our questions are two:
Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5, who is stronger?
What's the difference between the most powerful panoramic camera and the flagship sports camera?
1. Comparison of panoramic photos
The panoramic photos of Dajiang Osmo 360 have 30 million pixels and 120 million pixels. Let's compare them first.
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
Scenario 3
Scene 4 (in extremely weak light, the 120 million pixel mode is noisy due to the small size of the unit pixel, but the details are obviously more)
Scenario 5 and 6
The two modes correspond to the front and back of the 4-in-1 pixel respectively, and the unit pixel is 1.2 μ m and 2.4 μ m.
Theoretically, the 3000 megapixel mode of 2.4 μ m should have a dynamic range of compaction level, but in the current version of firmware (up to 25-08-08), the dynamic range of the two photo modes is not very different - that's for sure Close your eyes and open 120 million pixel mode Ah (From the following comparison, the current firmware's 30 million pixel mode has pixel consolidation, but HDR is lonely).
Scenario 1, central area
(Sharpening of Shadow Stone X5 is too hard, and the picture details of Dajiang Osmo 360 are slightly better)
Scene 1, the central axis of the screen, near the 170 degree area, the leftmost and rightmost parts are magnified ↑
(The edge image quality is also the same conclusion, Dajiang Osmo 360 is slightly better)
Scene 2 (pay attention to the sun area in the upper left corner of the screen. The dynamic range is Shadow Stone X5, which is stronger, and the advantages continue to the light scene below)
Scenario 3, central section
(Shadowstone X5 is excessively sharpened, and Dajiang Osmo 360 is excessively compressed, resulting in very large differences in appearance.
The styles of the two families are closer to the naked eye.
Scene 3, the central axis of the screen, near the 170 degree area, the leftmost and rightmost parts are magnified ↑
(When encountering high frequency and dense details, the image details of Dajiang Osmo 360 may not be as good as those of Shadowstone X5)
Weak light scene 1, global ↑ and central magnification ↓
Weak light scene 2, global ↑ and central magnification ↓ (pay attention to the highlight in the upper left corner)
Weak light scene 3, global ↑ and central magnification ↓ (pay attention to the highlight area)
Extremely weak light scene 1, global ↑ and central magnification ↓
Extremely weak light scene 2, global ↑ and central magnification ↓
2. Comparison of single lens photos
Scene 1, single shot contrast, global ↑ and central magnification ↓
Scene 1, single lens contrast, left corner enlarged ↓
Scene 1, single lens contrast, zoom in at the bottom right of the center ↓:
After updating the tone enhancement firmware on July 15, the tone of shadow stone X5 becomes more pleasing to the eye, the dark part is obviously brighter, and the light measurement is slightly higher than that seen by the naked eye.
Let's turn the lens slightly and aim at the same room (Scene 2, 3) ↓
The details are not far off, but the dark part and noise reduction of Dajiang Osmo 360 are really not as good as that of Shadowstone X5 (the same cloud, the effect of HDR is very different).
If I hadn't seen the same cloud shape, I would have thought it was the wrong proof.
and Time-lapse photography , in essence, it is also taking photos, and you can easily compare it ↓
Even with obvious sharpening and stylization, The 11K delay of Shadow Stone X5 is not far from the 8K delay of Dajiang Osmo 360 in actual details.
Summary of photos
The current firmware (25-0808) of Dajiang Osmo 360 seems to pay little attention to the photos:
Dajiang Osmo 360 and Yingshi X5 Panoramic photos, forced to count as "five to five" Shadow stone X5 is strong in dynamic range and high-frequency details in daytime, and Dajiang Osmo 360 is strong in light and weak light scenes;
In the case of single lens photos, the shadow stone X5 is stronger, The details of Dajiang Osmo 360 are not bad, but the 120 million pixel mode has no HDR, which is too bad;
Single lens photos of Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5, both Catch up with the 12.5 megapixel mode of the sports camera (Shadow Stone Ace Pro 2), congratulations. However, it is still a long way from Ace Pro 2's 50 megapixel mode.
Shadowstone X5 can win in the photo section. In addition to HDR and more obvious sharpening, we should also "thank you" Photo compression of violence in Xinjiang (Action 5 Pro is similarly set):
The 30 megapixel panorama of Dajiang Osmo 360 is pushed to over 3MB. 120 megapixel panoramic photos are pressed up to 13MB (72 megapixel panoramic photos of Shadowstone X5 need more than 20MB);
The compression ratio difference of single lens photos is even greater: the 30 megapixel single lens photos of Dajiang Osmo 360 are also more than 3MB, but the 36 megapixel single lens photos of Shadowstone X5 exceed 13MB.

4. Single shot video comparison
For single shot video recording, Dajiang Osmo 360 is special. It has a 4K mode with a large viewing angle and a 5K mode with a small viewing angle (which is anti intuitive):
The [BOOST extremely wide-angle mode] with a 170 degree field of view is actually a 4-in-1 pixel mode, 2.4 μ m, which can use on-chip HDR, with a maximum of 4K 120fps. The actual angle of view is similar to that of Action 5 Pro plus augmented lens.
[5K mode], the viewing angle is reduced to 155 degrees, and the unit pixel is 1.2 μ m. Because the ISZ is used, it is cut by 1/4 of the area in the center of the sensor (half of the length and half of the width), so the viewing angle will be smaller Unable to use HDR on chip , 60 fps maximum Front and back heat absorption switching is not available during recording . At this time, the perspective is just the same as the native perspective of Action 5 Pro.
Although 5K mode has so many restrictions, the number of pixels is crushed ——5K is 5120x3840, the pixel amount is 1.78 times of 4K 4:3 (3840x2880), and 2.37 times of 4K 16:9, so it has better details in the daytime.
Streaming saving: 5K mode is suitable for good light, and 4K extremely wide angle is suitable for light and dim light.

The single lens modes of Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5 are different in light metering, color, HDR style, viewing angle and distortion correction.
Video summary
The video part is easy to summarize:
The panoramic video of Dajiang Osmo 360 is slightly stronger than that of Shadowstone X5， The single lens 4K extremely wide angle mode and the shadow stone X5 are "five to five", and the single lens 5K mode is obviously stronger than the shadow stone X5 in the daytime;
It is unnecessary for both to use 5.7K/6K low resolution mode (even in low light scenes, there is no bonus);
The 5K mode of Dajiang Osmo 360 is significantly different from the 8K mode of the sports camera, but the details can surely win the 4K mode of the flagship sports camera (Shadow Stone Ace Pro 2 and Dajiang Action 5 Pro). However, when the dark part and light become worse, the performance will decline quickly, and it will not be as good as its 4K extremely wide angle mode.
Appearance and experience

Yingshi GO 3S, Dajiang Action 5 Pro
↑ Shadowstone X4 and X5 are on the left and right, and Dajiang Action 5 Pro ↓ is below
↑ Thickness comparison: left shadow stone X4, right shadow stone X5, and the following is Dajiang Action 5 Pro ↓ (the thickness of panoramic camera is not far different)
I can't believe it. The magnetic suction interface at the bottom of Dajiang Osmo 360 and Shadowstone X5 can attract each other regardless of whether they are positive or negative, and the handstand will not fall (although it can rotate after being absorbed).
↓ Thickness comparison: shadow stone Ace Pro 2, shadow stone X4, Dajiang Osmo 360, shadow stone X5, Dajiang Action 5 Pro ↓
Dajiang Osmo 360 is Aluminum magnesium alloy skeleton with VC soaking plate inside I can't imagine.
Compared with the panoramic camera/sports camera, the Dajiang Osmo 360's shell is more like a UAV - it does not use the common soft rubber binding.
The flat and wide shape makes Dajiang Osmo 360 slightly thinner, shorter and wider than Shadowstone X5.
The body is too short, so the screen is limited to 2 inches at 16:9. It is not as comfortable to hold as the long shadow stone X5. It is easy to touch the lens when holding it.
The two buttons on the chin of the screen are very hard, and the fitness effect is very good. When using a single handset, it is very hard to press. It is recommended to set the shutter to 0.5 second countdown to avoid film pasting.
Its most comfortable grip is when its card machine holds its left hand horizontally, with its thumb right on the record key.
The advantage of this shape is that the center of gravity is low, and it is 17 grams lighter than the Shadow Stone X5: when it is sucked on the top of the helmet or bitten on the mouth, it will not be as heavy as the Shadow Stone X5, and it is not easy to block your own vision.
Personally, I don't have many opinions about the appearance, I just hope that Dajiang's logo can be bigger, so that others can see at a glance that I use Dajiang , hoping to have stickers with various themes like Shadow Stone. It would be better if it could be pure white like X5.
Dajiang Osmo 360 The outermost lens can be replaced independently in addition to the hard coating to resist small bumps , but it can't be replaced by itself like the Shadow Stone X5. You have to go to a store or send it for repair.
PS: The Shadow Stone X4 and the front panoramic camera are an integrated lens set. If the outer lens is damaged, it can only be replaced with the whole lens (the maintenance price of the X4 front lens is 599 yuan, and the rear lens is 539 yuan).
The replacement price of Dajiang Osmo 360's external lens is 159 yuan, 40 yuan cheaper than the shadow stone X5, and even 18 yuan cheaper than the reduced shadow stone X5 repair lens set. Dajiang, are you deliberate or careless?
The card slot is in the battery compartment ↑
The layout of the keys and interfaces of Dajiang Osmo 360 is very similar to that of Shadowstone X5: the right USB interface, the left battery compartment (the card slot is on the left side of the battery compartment), but the right side is missing a custom key, so old users of Shadowstone can start at zero frames without any barriers.
The magnetic quick disconnect interface at the bottom is common with Action 5 Pro/Action 4 ↑, but there are 4 more PIN contacts for power supply and control Annual innovation accessory - endurance extension rod Used.
In addition to the universal 1/4 screw port, Dajiang Osmo 360 also uses the magnetic suction quick release bayonet of the Action series in an environmentally friendly way. The battery is also compatible with the Action series, which is totally unlike Dajiang I know.
The original 1950mAh cold resistant battery and the 2nd generation multi-function battery storage box equipped with Changpai kit are all the same type of Action 5 Pro, and no pixel is bad.
The endurance extension rod is 599 yuan from Shenghui. The price is really not cheap, but there is no competitive product.
When you think it's a handle, it's actually a 90cm self timer. When you think it's a selfie stick, it's actually a power pack (Not only can the camera be powered, but also the C port can power devices such as mobile phones with a power of more than 7W).
It can charge 27W fast (9V 3A) by itself. The measured peak charge is more than 25.7W, which is faster than that of Dajiang Osmo 360. Its dead weight is 289g.
Through the 4 PIN contacts at the bottom of Dajiang Osmo 360, it Without wiring, you can "map" the three keys of the fuselage . When it is not convenient to operate with voice and gesture, it is no longer necessary to take back the panoramic camera on the selfie stick and press the button!!!!!!!!!!!
And it It can also supply power to the camera when extended, and the battery of the body can even be pulled out , greatly reduce the pressure of the self timer lever and reduce the heat.
It has a built-in 15.5Wh battery, more than twice the capacity of the 7.5Wh battery of Dajiang Osmo 360, which can Extend the 8K 30fps video duration of Dajiang Osmo 360 to an exaggerated 4.5 hours 。
If it is equipped with two original batteries (169 yuan x 2=338 yuan), the price of the endurance extension rod is 599 yuan.
Its main regret is that there is no built-in tripod at the bottom, so you have to find a small tripod to screw on the 1/4 screw at the bottom.
user's experience
The basic UI and logic of Dajiang Osmo 360 is like“ Dajiang Action 5 Pro and Shadowstone X5 got drunk that night ”In the Dajiang Action 5 Pro set, the one-way lens switching menu of the panoramic camera is added.
It is also like the Action 5 Pro. After cold start, long press the switch to enter the sleep state (it will be completely shut down after 8 hours of inactivity). Any button can instantly wake up the machine, which is much more enjoyable to capture and use.
Because the default is HDR status, there are no options such as HDR photos/HDR videos in the UI, which is simple and refreshing.
The dynamic range of 8K video is obviously larger than that of shadow stone (only the 5.7K video of shadow stone X5 has a dynamic range of 13.5 blocks, and the 8K mode has no HDR effect).
The imaging speed is obviously faster than that of friends. The most time-consuming 120 million pixel photo needs to be rotated for about 5 seconds (the viewfinder image will be still), and the shadow stone X5 (there is a continuous viewfinder image when rotating, but it is also impossible to operate) takes one shot, which is enough time for Xinjiang Osmo 360 to take two photos. In the video, the hot switching between front and rear scenes is also much faster in Dajiang.
Dajiang Osmo 360 also has voice and gesture operations like those of friends. It can use specific voice commands and reach out to trigger the start/stop recording (it can turn off the stop recording trigger to prevent accidental touch).
Dajiang can also listen to the Bluetooth headset, and can also add a "sports dashboard" to the video (superimpose the motion information of Apple/Huawei/Jiaming watches or third-party FIT files on the video screen).
The mobile phone client and mac version have basic functions such as editing, Luts and intelligent tracking (the PC version has not been added since 25-0806), and some advanced functions such as automatic lens movement and video template are less than those of friends. The programmers in Dajiang have to work hard for some time to add various functions.
Endurance heating: the heating is significantly lower when the endurance charge is 50%
Specification re reading:
Dajiang Osmo 360 is a 1950mAh cold resistant battery (can be used at minus 20 ℃, the same type of Action 5 Pro), 7.5Wh (3.87V).
Official standard 8K 30fps endurance 100 minutes, 8K 30fps long endurance 120 minutes, 6K 24fps long endurance 190 minutes (extended handle can be extended for an additional 180 minutes).
27W PD 3.0/PPS fast charging, 9V 3A (50% charging in 12 minutes). The measured peak value of sleep charge is 23.3W, and the high power range is 13W to 23W. The peak value of bright screen charge is 25.5W.
We uniformly use high code rate 8K 30fps video recording (not long endurance mode), turn on the indicator light, turn off gesture and voice control, turn off the quick shear/highlight assistant in the machine, select automatic WiFi for Shadowstone X5 (only normally open and automatic options are available), turn on and off the screen display of Dajiang Osmo 360+turn off WiFi (one is debuff, the other is buff).
Dajiang Osmo 360 has significantly lower fever, 8K 30fps video recording is basically 5 degrees lower than Shadowstone X5 in the whole process ↑.
When the room temperature is 28 ℃, the heat balance temperature is around 60 ℃.
Compared with friends, Dajiang Osmo 360's battery is small, but the master chip process is more advanced (4nm vs. 5nm), and there are fewer two image chips.
Osmo 360 in Zuo Dajiang, "Thermal Diagram" of Shadowstone X5 in right ↑
Warm reminder: let alone the outdoor temperature in summer, spring and autumn, it often exceeds the 28 degrees we tested, The actual endurance will be lower than our test scores, Heating will also be faster than our test, but the temperature control line should be similar:
The overheating temperature control line of Dajiang Osmo 360 and Dajiang Action 5 Pro is about 68 degrees.
The overheat temperature control line of shadow stone X5 is about 66 degrees, and that of shadow stone Ace Pro 2 is about 70 degrees.
Dajiang and Yingshi 8K video endurance is very close (The power consumption speed of somatosensory is also very close when taking external shots.).
The X5 battery capacity of Yingshi is 23% larger, which improves the endurance performance. However, the battery is too big to compete with the law of thermodynamics - Shadowstone X5 will overheat in 43 minutes (56% of the electricity is still available when it overheats).
Dajiang Osmo 360 charging curve, very stable power change ↑
Shadowstone X5 charging curve (room temperature 28 ° C, power reduction due to overheating halfway ↑)
The charging speed is also "five to five".
The charging peak power of Dajiang Osmo 360 will be a little lower (also lower than Action 5 Pro), but the battery is small, so the actual charging speed is close to that of Shadowstone X5.
The charging power of the Shadow Stone X5 is stronger than that of the flagship sports camera. If it hadn't been overheated and power reduced in the middle, its performance could have been faster.
If you want to record for a long time, you can unplug the battery and use external power supply. The heating will be significantly reduced (it must not be waterproof at this time, pay attention to safety).
The general recommendation is to turn off the indicator light WiFi、 Gesture/voice control, quick shear/highlight assistant, shorten the screen out time to reduce heat.
The 3799 yuan Dajiang Osmo 360 Freeshot Kit version ↑ is 2 more batteries than the standard version, the 2nd generation multi-functional battery storage box, the adjustable quick disconnect adapter, and the 1.2 meter invisible selfie rod (both versions have their own lens protection sleeve and camera protection bag), and it is also equipped with a USB 10Gbps data cable ↑.
The UFS flash memory of Dajiang Osmo 360, coupled with the first USB 10Gbps interface in the sports camera/panoramic camera, is tested with 16GB files, Average read 617MB/s, write 228MB/s, far ahead The file transfer speed is 6.5 times higher than that of Shadowstone X5 (95MB/s).
Beep
Dajiang and Shadowstone fight, The most painful thing is GoPro. It's almost gone ——Dajiang doesn't sell coffee, but it always makes friends feel the pain of life.
Both Dajiang and Yingshi are changing sides in the extreme. Dajiang is making panoramic cameras, and Yingshi is making unmanned aerial vehicles (competing products of Dajiang mini series and Flip series). Both sides have entered the fields where each other is good at.
The situation of chasing each other is very similar to the Star Wars between the United States and the Soviet Union. As a result, we photographers finally have our own "take out war"!!!
The square 1/1.1 sensor used by Dajiang Osmo 360 is larger, stronger and more expensive than the 1/1.3 sensor of your own sports camera. With an additional lens and sensor, the price is only 400 yuan, The pricing is so crazy. Dajiang is determined to make this friend 。
Thanks to Dajiang, let's use a better panoramic camera;
Thanks to Shadowstone, let's use better UAVs.
The first half of the sentence has come true, shadow stone, and the second half is up to you.
