The Ricoh Theta V is a 360-degree spherical camera that builds on the previous highly-successful Theta models. It is the first Theta to offer 4K video recording as well as 4K streaming, and by far the most affordable option for this purpose at a launch price of $429 USD. The Theta V was announced on August 31, 2017 and was shipping shortly thereafter.
