Ricoh wants to make 360° video accessible with the Theta SC2

Ricoh has announced a new easy-to-use, high-performance 360° camera called the Theta SC2 (£269). Designed with accessibility in mind, Ricoh claims the SC2 will help even the biggest technophobes shoot “incredibly realistic” 4K spherical video and capture impressive 360° images. To help everyone get to grips with the art of movie making, the 14MP handheld cam features a variety of preset modes, and comes with dedicated editing apps that can be used to apply the finishing touches to projects. Along with high-speed wireless transfers, the SC2 also facilitates direct uploads to social media incuding Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, which will be music to the ears of any influencers out there.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
