The Ricoh Theta was the world's first 360-degree, single-shot camera, enabling users to express themselves in new and unique ways. The resulting 360-degree images were easily shared with others, allowing them to virtually experience a scene as if they were there.  Based on the award-winning, slim-line design of previous Theta models, the Theta V is lightweight, easy to use and compact enough to carry everywhere. A number of new enhancements allow the camera to produce more realistic "as-if-you-were-there"360-degree content

I use the Theta V for Zillow Tours. My company offer Zilliw Listing tours to our clients. The Theta V is affordable and works great with the Zillow format.

Theta V is a workhorse! I use it weekly for walk through tours!

New product so we have not used it much yet but so far it is as advertised and works well with the apps we planned to use it on

good choice

Bought to use in my real estate business and love it

great for real estate agents

Excellent quality of image, easy to work with

Great 360 cam

It is a significant improvement, But it is not as good as most of the reviews indicate.  I wish I had waited for the next model up even though it comes in at $999.  It's low light capability and image quality were disappointing.  The plastic case was a disappointment.  You cannot leave the plastic lens cover or cloth cover on the camera.

Not as good as the reviews indicated.

Not very happy with this. It has difficulty staying connected to the Bluetooth and picture quality is not great

Hoped for Better!

Purchased this camera to do Matterport tours for real estate. Works Great!

Theta V 360 camera

Love this camera.  I am so amazed at the images.

I am very happy with this product.

I purchased the Ricoh Theta V to shoot 3d real estate photos.  I love this camera. It is easy to use.  The app is great and scans 3d.  I am using the matterport app with this and it is fabulous.  My images are professional and great quality.  I would highly recommend this product.

This takes amazing photos and video.  I took a video of my son riding his bike for the first time.

Amazing technology

Fabulous 360 camera that is regarded as the standard for use with many 360 VR applications.

The Standard for 360 Cameras

I've been doing 360 panoramas (with a DSLR) for a few years, but I was looking for an inexpensive, easy-to-use pano solution that I could carry in my pocket. The resolution is much lower than a full frame DSLR and the images produced are noisier, but the quality is acceptable for any casual observer using a mobile device with a smaller screen.

Easy to use and carry

Great camera. Documentation on using needs improvement. More detail on charging with special cord and transferring files etc.

Great camera crappy documentation.

I bought this based on the several reviews I have seen. The issue is the Red dot (Looks like a bright red laser dot), used when direct sunlight is hitting the camera. This is unacceptable. It should be listed under description and people should be aware. 

Also, the app is not polished. Crashes regularly and the whole SW import, export workflow is subpar compared to RYLO. Also, image stabilization is not close to what RYLO can do.

Not ready, many issues...

This is my first 360 camera so I'm still figuring it out, but overall I'm happy with the results.  I'd was hoping it would be more intuitive and easier to go from capture, to edit, to posting.  This may be the same with all 360 cameras, but I don't know since this is the first 360 camera for me.

Ricoh Theta V 360 Feedback

Takes awesome pictures, but the only downside is you have to use the app to get your pictures or pay for an app or site in which you can utilize the 360/VR feature. Other than that the camera takes a clear picture.

Great camera

Got this to start taking 360° pictures for an apartment locating website. Great value compared to the expensive cameras like Matterports. Had trouble with the connection at first like the other review, but I think this issue is it blocks you after a couple failed attempts. Have to enter the 2 zeros follow by the rest of the numbers. 8 numbers total for mine. I entered it right once and didn't connect, but you may have to disconnect and reconnect and get it right the first try. Also Bluetooth must be on, but the connection is on your wifi list. This is on an iPhone 6.

Impressed with image quality

I bought two of these for our company- can't get either one to connect to Android or Iphone! Almost no information to be found- Amazon support tried but no help.
Says you have to connect to camera wifi but also needs wifi to do it! Anyone else have this issue? I am going to send back.

Can't get the camera to connect to my phone

This is a great introductory VR camera for experimentation.  The stitching is very good and the seam is virtually invisible.  My students love the concept and we're still planning a long shoot with it BUT why no expansion capability?  You run out of room really fast with only 19 gigs.

Not as easy as I would have liked

I have just started with 360 photography lately. I am tossing around among these choices - Samsung 360 2017, Insta360 One, and this. This might not be the cheapest but I would say it is definitely worth the cost (at this time). 

I have tried the Samsung 360 2017 but I am not convinced with the quality that it outputs. The fact that I am using multiple smartphone platforms, it doesn't make sense for me not be able to maximize features available for Samsung phones only. This goes for the Insta360 one which is only limited to iOS.

If you want superb quality, this is your best bet. The only quirk that I have on this are these - 

1. Buttons are too "deep" to press and work properly
2. App crashes when rendering the video/animations despite that it can save it properly
