Description

The Theta V is light weight 360 Degree spherical camera, it’s easy to use and compact enough to carry everywhere. Enhancements including a new image sensor and Processor for improved image quality Allow the camera to produce more realistic “as-if-you-were-there” 360-degree content. The camera’s new high- speed data transfer is 2. 5 times faster than previous Theta models, allowing users to quickly and wirelessly upload 14 Megapixel stills and high-resolution 4K videos for immediate showing and sharing. Omnidirectional audio recording functionality enables 360-degree audio that is a strong complement to the high resolution video, dramatically enhancing the realism of a scene. The Theta V can connect to and be controlled by any Android or iOS-based smartphone or tablet using the Theta S app. Connection is either via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-which enables an “always-on” connection between a camera and phone-or Wi-Fi, providing users with greater flexibility in how they wirelessly control the camera. A new and unique feature of the Theta V is that Ricoh will be able to create new functions for the camera via software plug-ins. The first of these plug-ins was developed by Ricoh and is already integrated into the phone. It enables the Theta V to deliver the world’s first remote playback capability in a commercially-marketed, fully spherical camera. The camera has a 4-channel microphone that supports 360 Degree spatial audio recording built into its body. Omnidirectional audio is recorded not just in the horizontal direction, but also in the vertical direction, making it possible to reproduce sound and video as it was in the environment where the video was shot by linking 360 Degree video and audio together. Furthermore, using the dedicated accessory 3D microphone TA-1 (optional) scheduled for launch With the camera will allow users to pick up natural sound with a large volume of information at low to high frequency. Wireless communication protocol (WLAN)- HTTP (Open Spherical Camera API compatible). Battery Life - Still image - Approx. 300 images, Video - 80 minutes.Shooting Functions :Noise reduction DR correction HDR rendering Interval shooting Shooting with self-timer shooting with multi brackets.

Great photos
I like the hdr rendering with monopod, and the ability to add plug ins that are useful. I shoot mostly photos so all the video features I’m sure are great, but I don’t use them. The mega pixel debate is ongoing, more or less is better? I can honestly say this camera out performs my other which has more megapixels. The images look sharper have less grain and are all around better. So more megapixels don’t equal a better photo. Unless of course you need to enlarge your photo to bill board size. But for my purposes this one hits all the right marks, except of course the red dot of doom, which needs to be edited out. Over all sharp photos. Not dslr sharp but when you can take a photo edit it. Color correct and upload to social media in about a minute without worry, that is a good workflow easy use camera. I still haven’t used all the features yet and I don’t know if I ever will. For my needs it’s a winner. Easy shooting, great app, easy editing, quick workflow . ... show more

Theta S owner and was hesitant after reading reviews on here. SO glad I went ahead and purchased. AMAZING upgraded device!
I own a theta S and after reading some of the reviews on here I was very hesitant to purchase this new one, even though I was very excited about the upgraded 4K video recording. I am SO glad I went ahead and made the purchase! This is a serious upgrade from the Theta S. The video quality is so much better. No comparison. Video on the theta S was so blurry I felt it was pretty unusable. It was more of a gimmick. This is actual quality video with a clear enough resolution that you can see not only people and objects near the camera, but even items far away. It’s almost HD quality no matter where you look in the 360 shot. The pictures are also crystal clear and I have not had any issues with the stitching as noted above in other reviews. If you are looking for a high quality 360 camera for video and pics that is super easy to use, this is a must buy. The upgrades in the app too that allow you to upload directly to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are fantastic! You used to have to upload as a 360cities link, but now it uploads to these platforms as a direct 360 video. No need to transfer and edit on any other device. Great product!! ... show more

Wow….Finally!
I owned the Theta S and enjoyed the simplicity and functionality. Using the camera was always fun and I used it to share images on FB and show on my phone. The new V works in very much the same way the S did, but the quality is much better. In comparing both still images I found the V to provide better color, contrast and sharpness. The overall image control is greater via the new App. The V’s 4k videos look great. Ricoh still leads the rest in its stitching as the overall spherical images look very good. I owed the Samsung and did not like the stitching or the iPhone compatibility. The data transfer to my iphone 7plus is very fast and the 4k video transfers as fast as the Theta S’s 2k video in my opinion. Probably the coolest feature is the ability so show and control your images on the TV. You can see thumbnails of your images and then view them on your TV using the Theta as the remote. Overall, I’m very happy so far and excited that the 4k Theta has finally arrived. ... show more

Wonderful entry into 360 cameras
Wonderful entry into 360 cameras. The best audio capture on the market. You will not find anything better. The only shortfalls are the storage, WiFi and the mobile app. At 19gb it is laughable as to what you can actually record in 4K. You can work around this by attaching the camera to a computer and offloading images. Confusing as to why this is in the day of SD cards, etc. The WiFi implementation is a complete joke but not a deal breaker. The work around for this is simply manually starting and stopping the camera. The WiFi connection is limited to less than a foot before it disconnects. This is horrible but not a deal breaker. The mobile app is a complete waste of time space and effort. Don't even bother using it. Instead connect it directly to a computer to download images. IF the mobile app will even start up it will always crash on you. The connected WiFi speeds (when working) are abysmal at best, a 300 MB file will take up to 45 minutes to transfer, so use the direct connection to the computer. With these shortcomings this is still one of the best 360 cameras on the market right now. Reliable and the results in both video and audio are stunning. I am already purchasing additional units. With the name Ricoh attached to it, it had better be top notch and it almost is. Highly recommended for both entry level photographers as well as commercial/professional applications. Can't wait for the next model, hopefully it will have more storage! ... show more

:D
Absolutely love this camera. The spherical photos are higher quality than I expected, though there is more noise at low light than I thought there would be. I purchased this along with a monopod + tripod so I put it in full manual and control exposure within the app to minimize the noise (in photos). Not a big fan of the Theta V's built in Noise/HDR filters; I found it creates artifacts within the photo that negate their usefulness. Only negatives to this camera are the apps (iOS app has better performance than Android app; neither are fantastic) and the lack of removable storage. The ~20GB internal storage holds a good number of photos and videos, though I'd love to be able to put in an SD card if only to keep photos/videos from one day or event separate from others. I prefer to start the day with a fresh card in all my cameras and with this I have to go in and delete everything from the internal storage, which is less than ideal. The new higher quality sensor definitely make this camera acceptable (Theta S photo/video quality was not) if you want to test or play around with this new immersive medium. It won't replace a traditional camera or even a smartphone, but it is an amazing extra to keep in your bag to capture moments in a very unique and fun way. ... show more

Great solution for 360 degree sphere pictures for the money
Best value for taking 360 degree sphere pictures and videos. Controlled through an app. The app sometimes locks up, but works most of the time. Full functionality is achieved via WiFi where you can preview a shot before taking the picture as well as tweak exposure settings. Limited functionality for taking pictures is obtained via Bluetooth. It can take pictures stand-alone via a button as well. Resolution is ok but not great; don't expect digital zoom to produce exacting details. ... show more

My first 360 camera
I researched and ultimately purchased the Theta V at the urging of a family member who has been shooting 360 stills and video for quite a while. As an amateur photographer I have been using the Pentax K-70 for some time so I was leaning towards the Theta V but ultimately I decided on it for the video and audio features. My first video was of my son's football game. I shot 360 stills and video. The stills look nice but the video is amazing! After some quick editing my son and I watched the footage on his Google Daydream VR headset. So much fun! The audio makes a huge difference as you can feel the shift in tones and pitch as you rotate. I am big into water activities so slightly disappointed that this is not waterproof but glad there is waterproof casing available. The spherical (tiny planet) videos are hilarious and also great fun. I am looking forward to honing my skills at 360 stills as I have been impressed with the results so far. I recommend Theta V. ... show more

Intriguing device, but immature software makes it more of an amateur toy
The device resembles a bug-eyed candy bar with the user interface of a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Smooth, dark, no display. Just three tiny buttons on the side, a shutter release on the front, and a few icons that glow through the plastic if and when you get the thing running. It's hipster industrial design run amok. The instructions are just sad, little more than an infographic with essential details missing, and our initial experience was maddening. It would not power on until it had a nice long charging session from the PC via the USB cable. While at it, we downloaded and applied the latest firmware. Next step was pairing it with a phone, which serves as the camera's user interface, an exercise in patience that involved trying the same thing again, and again, and again over a period of hours, until it abruptly decided to work. Here's important info that the docs never make clear: THE CAMERA IS A WIFI HOST. You need to create a new WiFi connection on your phone, entering a long magic number that's cleverly hidden in tiny, gray-on-gray letters on the bottom of the camera. Then you need to fiddle with the buttons until the WiFi icon on the camera turns blue. This happened eventually for us, after repeating the instruction sequence many times, and then finally trying random power-offs and button fiddling. Once WiFi woke up, and I wish I could remember which incantation did the trick, we could pair with the camera and control it. At this point the camera was operational, using the Theta phone app. It made rather nice spherical stills and okay videos. I set it up on a tripod to make a timelapse of the starry night sky. The image capture aspect of the app was quite good, taking long exposures at high ISO. However, the app refused to process the 300 or so frames into a video, saying there was too little free space on my phone. This was true for the main store, but I had tons of free space on the phone's SD card that the software was too stupid to use. I downloaded the images to my laptop instead, but the Theta app for Windows is just a viewer. You can't control the camera, nor can you process the results, though I was able to assemble a poor-quality video with other tools. The camera is really intended to be used only with phones, and the phone app has limits that I find crippling. Maybe Ricoh will get around to finishing the job, but at this point I am not sure I'm willing to wait. UPDATE: After the fully-charged camera refused to power on while out in the field my patience came to an end. Camera has been returned for refund. ... show more
