AT A GLANCE

Rugged Design for Demanding Environments

The RICOH360 THETA A1 is the first model in the RICOH THETA series to offer IP64-equivalent dustproof and splashproof performance. Designed for use in environments exposed to dust, splashing water, heat and cold, the camera operates in temperatures ranging from −10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F), enabling reliable image capture under harsh conditions. It also supports stable, extended recording while receiving power in temperatures from 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F), allowing users to keep working in high heat.

High-resolution 360-degree still image capture

Equipped with dual 1/2.0-type image sensors, the RICOH360 THETA A1 captures 360° still images at approximately 60 megapixels (11008 × 5504 pixels). Automatic noise reduction helps deliver clear images in low-light environments, making it useful for inspections, progress tracking, and property documentation.

Flexible 360° Video Recording

The RICOH360 THETA A1 supports 360° video recording at resolutions up to 8K, with multiple frame rate and bitrate options. It also supports H.265 video compression for efficient file storage and transfer. Extended recording performance enables up to approximately 2 hours of 4K/30fps recording at an ambient temperature of 30°C, subject to operating conditions.

Fast Startup and Responsive Operation

The camera starts in approximately 3 seconds* during initial startup and offers fast capture response with approximately 0.3-second shutter lag. Its automatic shooting functions, including HDR and noise reduction, help users document site conditions quickly with minimal adjustments.
*When starting up from power-off.

Designed for Extended Field Operations

The removable rechargeable battery allows users to replace batteries during field operations. The camera also supports operation without a battery when connected to a compatible USB PD power source of 15W or higher, making it suitable for fixed-point documentation. Its internal storage provides approximately 27.5GB of recording capacity.
