RicohTheta X 360° Camera - 11K High-Resolution (60 Megapixels), 5.7K Video, OLED Touch Screen, Built-in GPS, Interchangeable Battery, External Memory

this was the best buy ever!

I'm a professional real-estate photographer. I purchased this camera to create 3D tours. I have found some shortcomings of this device which not many people mention. The first is that this device consumes a lot of power. I really can't go longer than thirty minutes or about 22 3D images before I have to replace the battery. I quickly learned that I needed spares. Secondly I recently experience overheating. I do live in Nevada mind you, but it wasn't hotter than 85F that day. I literally had to blow on the camera to cool it down to get to turn on again after it overheated. To me this overheating disqualifies it from the category of a professional product. I contacted customer service and they advised me to swap out batteries as that is the source of the overheating. I haven't tested that "fix" but that's not exactly convenient now is it?

Performance of the battery is shockingly poor. Its hard to believe this product was released with such poor battery performance. Picture quality is ok better than SC but not as good as Thetha V.

This camera fits my needs like a glove. It has interchangeable batteries allowing me to carry enough spare batteries with me. It has higher resolution than the other Ricoh cameras. It has interchangeable SD cards which gives me everything I need to do long shoots. The physical form factor is ideal for portability.He price is a good compromise being lower than the high end professional cameras and the low performance cameras.

Purchased this in USED LIKE NEW condition from Amazon Warehouse. Came with everything and other than packaging being previously opened, it pretty much was LIKE NEW. However, after only a few months use, the threaded hold on the bottom where you mount to a tripod plate completely failed. Turns out, it's PLASTIC! We've never encountered a tripod mount screw that wasn't metal, so its only a matter of time before the metal into plastic will fail. As it did for us. No problem right?The warranty on the camera was 1 year parts and labor. we filled out the form, provided the documentation and shipped to Precision Camera for repair. Only after paying shipping and waiting a few weeks, were we told (after multiple calls, 3 different service reps and a call to Ricoh) that it would not quality for warranty repair because it was a used device bought on Amazon.AMAZON does not make this information available and sells returned items at a slight discount. In this case we are now left with a useless, fairly expensive camera. We've been doing production for 20+ years and have not had an issue like this before. Our recommendation is to let Amazon sit on their returned items and either buy new or used from a place that offers an additional warranty such as ebay. Very poor service from Ricoh and their service provider, Precision Camera.

These work great but they are fragile. I use mine multiple times a week since I work in real estate inspection. I'm on my fourth camera because they get used a lot. Definitely a great product, but less durable than other brands I've owned before such as GoPro and Insta360.

Was nothing wrong with it, but if you need one that mounts on a tripod and rotates, do not get this one. We do not use it, I ended up buying another Pro2. "It's not you.....it's me":)

Works OK but it isn't fully supported by Matterport so didn't work for me. Also, no RAW The battery life is terrible but so is the Z1 I replaced it with. I strap a portable power supply to the tripod and plug it in during a shoot and it's at 100% when I'm done, so that is the answer
