I’m planning to pick up a DJI Osmo 360 around Cyber Monday 2025 and trying to figure out if it’s worth waiting for the deals or just buying earlier. What kind of discounts or bundles should I realistically expect for the Osmo 360 in 2025, and when do the best offers usually go live?

Bookmarked, thanks!
> What kind of discounts or bundles should I realistically expect for the Osmo 360 in 2025 Late to the thread, but the deals are usually alright. The bundles are where you actually save money in the long run tho. I remember being out in the desert last year trying to capture this sunset and the battery just flat out died right as the sky turned purple. I didnt have a spare because Id skipped the holiday bundle to save a few bucks. Ended up just sitting in the sand watching it happen without any footage, which was fine i guess, but kinda annoying. It actually reminded me of this trip to a cabin where I forgot to bring a decent flashlight and had to navigate the woods using just my phone screen. Nearly walked into a creek because I couldnt see the edge. Just get some extra accessories from SmallRig or whatever brand is on sale when you buy. anyway.
Hey, I’d actually look at this more from a “total cost over time” angle than just Cyber Monday % off.
If you’re *definitely* buying the latest Osmo 360, you might want to consider this:
- Newest model: expect ~10–15% off max, like others said. The real money difference is accessories.
- You’ll almost certainly end up needing at least 1 extra battery + a decent mount/tripod for travel/FPV. Bought separately, that adds up fast.
So, in my opinion, it’s worth waiting **only if**:
1. You’re not traveling or shooting anything important before Dec.
2. You’re planning to buy the extras anyway → then a bundle can effectively save you more than a straight 10% camera discount.
However, if you’ve got a trip in, say, Sept/Oct 2025, I’d be careful about waiting. Missing shots is “more expensive” than the 50–80 bucks you might save. Also factor in:
- Return windows / warranty start date (don’t cut it too close before a big trip)
- Possible stock issues right on Cyber Monday (happened before…)
Concrete plan I’d suggest:
- Track current price now + refurbs on DJI’s official store.
- Set price alerts (CamelCamelCamel, etc.) starting around early Nov.
- If you see a decent bundle (extra batt + mount) at or below current price in early Black Friday week, just pull the trigger instead of gambling on actual Cyber Monday.
FWIW, I usually save ~10–15%, but the real win is not paying full price for batteries and mounts later.
Hope this helps!
Hey, from a safety-first angle I’d actually lean toward waiting for the official DJI Cyber Monday deals rather than grabbing some random early “bargain”.
The big thing with 360 + FPV‑style use is reliability: fresh batteries (not old stock), legit chargers, and mounts that won’t shear off mid‑flight or on a moto/helmet. Around Black Friday/Cyber Monday, DJI and the big authorized shops usually do bundles with **genuine** extra batteries, cases, and selfie sticks. Those are boring but super important for safety vs. sketchy third‑party kits on Amazon that look cheaper.
In my experience (followed the last 3 years):
- Discounts on the newest 360 are modest (10–15%), but
- You often get a *proper* battery + grip/tripod bundle, and
- Those accessories are tested to work within DJI’s thermal and power specs. That seriously reduces overheating, random shutdowns, and power spikes that can corrupt footage.
I’d watch for:
- “Combo” or “Creator” style kits directly from DJI or big names (B&H, Adorama, etc.).
- Official batteries only – for FPV/helmet stuff, I don’t mess with off‑brand cells.
- Metal or high‑quality mounts rated for action cams, not cheap plastic selfie junk.
Timing-wise, the best offers usually show up **from Black Friday through Cyber Monday**, with some “early access” stuff a few days before. I’d start tracking prices 2 weeks out, but pull the trigger when you see an official combo with the extras you’d realistically buy anyway.
So yeah, I’d wait – not just for the discount, but to get safe, reliable, supported gear in one go, especially if you’re strapping it to something that moves fast. 😅
Hope this helps!
I’d wait for Cyber Monday, but think long‑term: in 3 years with my Osmo 360, batteries, ND filters, and mounts ended up costing more than the camera. DJI’s Cyber Monday bundles usually discount *exactly* those “lifecycle” items, so total cost of ownership is lower even if the body is only ~10–15% off. If you know you’ll travel + do FPV‑style stuff, a kit with 2nd battery + charge hub + selfie stick/extension is usually better value than a straight $ off the camera alone.
If you’re open to non‑DJI, I’d kinda treat Cyber Monday as DJI Osmo 360 vs Insta360 X vs GoPro Max: DJI = best integration/stabilization, Insta360 = craziest bundles/discounts, GoPro = solid but usually smaller cuts… so I’d watch all three and grab *whichever* hits ~15–20% off (or a bundle that saves you buying 1–2 batteries + selfie stick) rather than locking into DJI only.
Honestly, if you’re a bit DIY like me, I’d plan your own “bundle” instead of banking on DJI’s. I’ve had issues with official kits including mounts/batteries I barely used, so the discount wasn’t as good as it looked. I’d probably grab the Osmo 360 when you *need* it (or if you see ~10–15% off) and then slowly add third‑party batteries, mounts, and selfie sticks from Amazon/Aliexpress when they go on sale – you can usually mix and match cheaper, even if DJI’s Cyber Monday isn’t amazing. Just be careful with third‑party batteries (check reviews, don’t go ultra‑no‑name) so you don’t cook your camera. Hope that helps a bit.
