360-degree action cameras are the go-to option for all types of content creation, whether shooting extreme sports or providing coverage for virtual tours. The new RICOH360 THETA A1 builds upon the concept and elevates it with a series of innovations and features designed for users.

While the Insta360 action camera is aimed squarely at outdoor content creation, the RICOH360 THETA A1 has been designed for professionals in settings such as construction sites and industrial facilities. This is evident in the streamlined integration of the camera into complex workflows, with 360° imaging designed to create immersive content for various industries, including manufacturing.

It begins with exceptional image quality, powered by an intuitive yet robust integrated screen for versatile shooting. With its performance features for high-precision scanning and numerous connectivity options for instant uploads, it’s the ultimate field camera on the market.

Since its primary function is oriented towards industrial settings, the RICOH360 THETA A1 delivers impressive resilience to the elements and other hazards. Its temperature-resistant casing is matched with full water and rust-proofing, while the long-lasting battery life ensures reliable performance on lengthy projects.

Image quality is also of a high quality, whether shooting 8K video at 10fps, live-streaming in 2K or 4K, or capturing 60MP stills. This lends the RICOH 360 THETA A1 a high level of versatility, whether monitoring project progress, conducting inspections, or creating promotional content.

With full compatibility with the RICOH360 app for remote shooting and cloud storage, the RICOH360 THETA A1 is a potential game-changer for on-site video content creation. The camera will be available for pre-order this month on Ricoh’s website.
