About this deal

Thumbnails of spherical images set as "Unlisted" are not displayed in the Profile screen for users other than the user who posted the image. A 360 camera is suitable for capturing the entire space. You can of course crop images later, but it’s not meant for capturing distant objects in high definition. For this purpose optical zoom lenses are optimal. You won’t regret it! Tips for choosing a 360 camera Relative position information based on self-position estimation (this is not position information from a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)) Here, we’ll give you some points to keep in mind when choosing a 360 camera for the first time. Clarify the desired function for your purpose Added a function for posting videos shot with the RICOH THETA (model: RICOHTHETA m15) to theta360.com.

First, think carefully about what kind of camera you need based on your shooting purpose and environment. By clarifying the purpose and the picture you want to take, you’ll know which camera you need. In some cases, a wearable camera with a wide-angle lens may be better than a 360 camera. In that regard, the X3 is still just about the best, friendliest, and most exciting 360 camera on the market, and the software tools on phone, Mac & PC (as well as plugins for the likes of FCPX) have come a long way. We tried the X3 on a real vacation successfully, and another benefit of this camera's dominance is the range of accessories, including dive cases and more. One of the other major issues with 360° cameras is that the content creator struggles to themselves get out of the image. Cue ‘Time Shift’ on the Theta X, which works when you put the camera on a tripod (there’s a 1/4-inch tripod thread on its underside) or on a flat surface and let it take two photos.By comparison, the Insta360 One X takes stills at 18MP (6080 x 3040), and its max video resolution is 5.7K (5760 x 2880) at 30 fps. The GoPro Max takes 16.6-MP photos at 5.6K video. Spherical video files converted using RICOHTHETA for Windows/Mac are compatible with the 360 video formaton YouTube. MP4 files converted using RICOHTHETA for Windows/Mac ("version 1.10.0" or later) can be uploaded to YouTube, and viewed and scrolled withinYouTube’s PC and Android apps.

The following functions can be used with the RICOH THETA V firmware update scheduled for release soon. The smooth app lets you edit clips from 360 footage pretty much seamlessly, meaning you can get great images no matter where the camera is pointed, and swap effortlessly between them. As we noted in our full review, the Max also has impressive specs elsewhere – with a six-mic setup, it's a highly credible vlogging camera, and the 1600mAh battery means you'll have enough charge for a day's shooting. This 360-degree action camera is a great piece of hardware. The image and video quality of the GoPro Max are good enough that they could get it here by themselves, but the GoPro Max also offers a swathe of intuitive features that mean pretty much anyone gets loads out of it, even if they have little interest in 360-degree imaging.

However, the footage still looked a bit wobbly. Similar videos shot with the GoPro Max and the Insta360 One X were much stabler. Radio waves from microwave ovens, cordless phones that use the 2.4 GHz band, indoor wireless LAN devices, or other devices, may interfere with the THETA Wi-Fi connection. Try connecting THETA to your smartphone while away from any potential sources of interference to change settings and transfer your photos. If you really want to shoot remotely on the spot, try using the self timer which doesn’t require a wireless connection. Two apps form a key part of the Theta X experience. The Theta app controls the camera and puts a live preview on your phone as well as giving access to all the settings. The Theta+ app is for editing 360º photos and videos. We’re not convinced there should be two separate apps, particularly since the Theta app also enables basic editing and uploading of results directly to YouTube and social media. It’s a bit confusing. One small external upgrade from its predecessor is the addition of a small OLED display. Although smaller than the screen on the Theta Z1, the OLED display can be used to keep tabs on settings and battery life. There’s also a new self-timer button.

The Gear 360 takes good photos and videos (up to 4K in size), and livestreams to Facebook and YouTube, too. However, there are a few big caveats: it only works fully with Samsung smartphones (from the Galaxy S6 and up), and while it works with the iPhone 7 and later, not all of the camera's features are supported. If you have a Samsung smartphone, though, the Gear 360 is a fun accessory. Your smartphone may be connected via Wi-Fi to another wireless device. If that is the case, disable all connections, then turn on the Wi-Fi by pressing the wireless button on THETA to try connecting again. Cause #4: THETA is in sleep mode Our standard model, called THETA SC2, comes in 4 colors and is recommended for those who want to enjoy 360 degree shooting with ease. Our flagship model is called THETA Z1 and is recommended for production work with its large image sensor and lens, as well as RAW shooting capability. Since its release in 2013 as the world's first hand-held 360° camera 1, "RICOH THETA" has been used in a multitude of environments and offers unlimited potential for image expression. 360° photography has become increasingly relevant, due to the rapid growth of the Virtual Reality market, the increasing number of social media services that are compatible with 360° images, and the growing demand for 360° images in the business market. For a video shot while walking around the subject, you can view the subject from various directions like a frame-by-frame video.The hashtag #theta360 can now be added from "theta360.com" – "SNS Share" in the menu when posting images to social networking services. The Ricoh Theta SC2 serves as a successor to the Theta SC and brings with it new and improved features. Inside, it features a 14-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor capable of capturing 4K video (3840 x 1920 pixels) at up to 30 frames per second. The Theta SC2 features 14GB of internal storage. Videos shot with all RICOH THETA models are supported (excluding videos shot with the file size “1280 × 720”). Videos may not be converted depending on the shooting environment and conditions.

Unlike virtually every other camera I've tested, the Theta Z1 has nonremovable storage. The device has about 19GB of usable storage, but if you fill that up, you'll have to delete files on the camera to keep using it. To be sure, 19GB isn't small; the company says you'll be able to store roughly 40 minutes of 4K-quality video. In my experience, a 2-minute 4K clip took up 950MB. Anker PowerCore 10000 PD 3. You don’t understand the meaning of the error display and how to deal with it. Added a function for converting and playing videos shot with the RICOHTHETA (model: RICOHTHETA m15).Not only DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, but even smartphones can take surprisingly high-quality photos these days. So, what are the benefits of using a 360 degree camera? Record realistic images and memories as if you were there Because the Theta Z1's operating system is based on Android, third-party developers can create plug-ins that add features to the camera. There are currently 42 plug-ins, which include features such as wireless livestreaming and control of the camera using Alexa. You can even have the camera play a bird call right before it takes a picture. That way, you can get the attention of an animal so that it's looking right at the camera when the shutter snaps. What I didn't like Although the headline act for the Theta X is hi-res 360° videos with image stabilization, the two top resolutions – 5.7K 30fps and 4K 60fps, both with IS – cannot be controlled from the app at all. To use either of those you’re effectively app-less, needing to operate the Theta X solely from the device itself. It’s also not possible to shoot either of those top resolutions while the WiFi is switched-on. Whether the Ricoh Theta X is going to appeal to you will depend on what kind of content creator you are. If you're looking at this 360° camera as an alternative to a GoPro action camera, then bear in mind that its image stabilization – despite working on higher resolutions than on a GoPro – just isn’t as good. Vloggers should also look at the Theta X with suspicion purely because you can’t use an external microphone with it.
