Thank you for your interest in THETA.

We are pleased to announce that the RICOH THETA Z1 is now sold out due to its popularity.

This is because of the compliance with new laws and regulations in Japan and the fact that some of the parts we use are no longer available.

Currently, we are working hard to deliver products that comply with laws and regulations as soon as possible, and hope to be able to announce them by the end of March.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you for your understanding.

Tx for keeping this thread up-to-date! Strange that version 1.7 was skipped. Anyway, they are releasing updates faster than I can install them... Something for the week-end.
