Capture and view immersive, high-resolution 360° video and still images with the THETA X 360° Camera from Ricoh. Based around dual 48MP CMOS sensors and twin f/2.4 lenses, the THETA X records up to 5.7K30 video and 60MP still photos and offers live streaming in 4K30 AVCH/H.264. A user-friendly 2.25" touchscreen display enables you to both preview and view your images, start/stop recording, take photos, and control the camera settings, all without needing to link to a smartphone. This compact camera is also the first of Ricoh's 360° line to offer swappable batteries and microSDXC card recording in addition to the 46GB of internal memory.

Real-time, in-camera stitching greatly reduces the time needed to process your 360° videos on your computer and integrated image stabilization smooths out your handheld action. The THETA X connects quickly using Bluetooth 5.0 without needing to enter an SSID (network name) and also offers dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. Use the separately available cap to protect the camera lenses and to serve as a tabletop stand.
