The Theta V is lightweight 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. Omni-directional 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.

Unacceptable stitching artifacts, significantly higher compression for stills. I was rather excited to get this one as I liked Theta S, and was hoping that Theta V would be continuing the legacy of the previous model, but with better optics and processing hardware.So I ordered as soon as it was available on Amazon.Right away I was disappointed by stitching artifactsâdouble images at the borders between the images produced by either lens. These were absent in the images produced by previous, less expensive modelâTheta S. Quite frankly, the fact that there…
Amazing camera with seriously flawed software This is complicated, the camera itself is shockingly good at what it does. but the firmware, supporting app and web-service is so dramatically flawed that you really gotta skinny around the flaws to really appreciate how well the THETA V works.For starters, the manual, iso priority and the EV adjustments only work now and then, you can adjust the exposure on the iPhone app, click capture and find yourself with a un-addjusted capture.. this is more a rule than an exception.. so…
Good when it works I’ve bought three of these for my company. The first worked fine. The app was buggy, but I’m techy enough I found various workarounds and was happy with the videos themselves. This leads me to order two more.Camera 2 has had nothing but major connection problems. Now, I run a company and I gave it to an agent. Most of my agents are amazing, however, I am usually walking them through tech stuff. So when an agent says she is having connection issues, I think it’s like I had with mine…
