Ricoh Theta 360° Forum Now Open

Discuss all things related to 360-degree image capture

By PF Staff in Site News on Oct 15, 2017

360-degree and VR imaging technologies are growing rapidly, with the Ricoh Theta being one of the very first consumer offerings in this segment, as well as one of the most successful.  Since the original Theta made its debut in 2013, we've seen four other Theta models, most notably last year's Theta SC, (which costs just $199 and doubles the resolution of the original model) and the new Theta V (which can capture and stream 4K video).  In many ways, the Theta line has redefined the way we approach photography.  An example follows:

While Theta cameras can be linked with a smartphone for remote image capture and transfer, what makes Thetas unique is the ergonomic form factor which enables hand-held shooting without necessitating marriage to a smartphone or a tripod.   This versatility makes Thetas perfect for travel, interior photography, events, and more!

As the Theta line will inevitably continue to grow, we've just opened and brand new forum section dedicated to all things Theta!  Visit it by following the link below.
