Description
The Ricoh THETA Z1 51GB is a 360 camera for creators who want to capture spherical stills and video in a compact body. It suits users making virtual tours, event coverage, location scouting, or immersive social content, where a single shot can capture the full scene without changing lenses.
It uses two 1-inch CMOS sensors and records 360 video at 3840 x 1920 at 29.97 fps, with a 1920 x 960 option for smaller files. Still images are available as 23 MP RAW at 7296 x 3648 or 23 MP JPEG at 6720 x 3360. The camera has 51 GB of internal storage, a built-in 4.0-channel microphone, f/2.1 aperture, and a fixed OLED screen.
In practice, the THETA Z1 is paired with a phone or computer for transfer, control, and editing workflows, since it has no memory card slot. The box includes the THETA Z1 51GB camera, a soft case, and a USB cable. It can be used for capture and stitching in camera, with internal and external stitching support.
