How do I prevent the DJI Osmo 360 from fogging up?

Fogging is one of the worst enemies of outdoor videographers, divers, hikers or content creators. Even a high-end camera like the DJI Osmo 360 is not completely immune. In this article, we explain why this phenomenon appears, how to avoid it effectively, and which accessories can save you from a shoot.

Why does fogging up on your Osmo 360?

The phenomenon of fogging is caused by a thermal shock between a hot and humid environment and a colder one (or vice versa). For example: taking your Osmo 360 out of a hot bag to film in cold water, or simply changing the environment quickly. This condensation forms on the lenses, or even inside the camera if the humidity is already present.

Even though the DJI Osmo 360 has IP68 waterproofing up to 10 meters, that doesn’t mean it’s fog-proof. In prolonged immersion, domed fisheye lenses can accentuate the phenomenon of optical distortion linked to condensation.

The risks of filming with fog on the lens

Shooting with fog can ruin an entire video. Here are the most common problems:

• Blurry images, without sharpness or contrast.
• Gradient stitching between the two 360° sensors.
• Reduced overall image quality.
• Footage unusable, even after post-production.

When you know that certain scenes (dives, drone flights, sports sessions) are impossible to reproduce, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Our tips to prevent fogging up on the DJI Osmo 360

Here are some best practices to adopt before each shoot:

• Acclimatize the camera : Take the DJI Osmo 360 out of its bag 20 to 30 minutes before filming to adjust to the ambient temperature.
• Do not touch the lenses with your fingers : the natural fat promotes moisture.
• Dry the housing and battery door thoroughly before immersion.
• Use a dry, clean microfiber cloth to clean the optics.
• Avoid sudden changes in temperature.

For underwater shots:

• Prefer dives in calm water, without excessive pressure.
• Use dehumidifier patches in a cabinet if you are using one.
