The THETA SC2 is a camera with two lenses that can take a 360° photo or record video in a single shot. It is an easy-to-use camera that is very suitable for photographers with little or no experience in 360° photography and video.

The camera has the same slim camera body known from all Ricoh 360° cameras. It is very compact and lightweight, so there is no reason to leave the camera at home. You can take photos at a resolution of 14 megapixels, and record video in 4K quality at 30 frames per second.

The camera has a small OLED screen showing the most important settings and battery information. You can make full use of its capabilities when the THETA SC2 is operated via your smartphone. This can be done via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
