I’m looking for a wireless wifi remote for the Ricoh Theta SC. When I use the Theta app, I can take a photo without a problem. But the app then spends 5 seconds downloading the resulting image. It is very slow to take multiple photos. If I press the button on the camera, I can take a photo almost …

When you use the mobile app, if you set the app to “No Postview”, it will not transfer the photos to the smartphone. You can then transfer all the photos from the camera after the shoot with a USB cable to desktop or to your mobile phone with Wifi. I believe that feature is still in the app. I ha…

Correct, there is a postview setting, and when I disable it, every time I take a shot with the app, it then spends 10 seconds “processing” the image before I can take another shot. The button on the camera still lets me take 2-3 images per second. It’s unfortunate that I can’t use the app to trigge…

Is the 10 second processing because the camera is stitching the image? Are you able to take 2 to 3 images per second with the physical button on the THETA SC camera? You may want to retest that. It may not actually be taking 2 to 3 images per second.

There’s a remote wired trigger. [image] Theta Cable Switch CA-3 - Ricoh "This is a cable switch to operate the camera shutter. Supported models RICOH THETA S, RICOH THETA SC * Please insert the USB cable bundled with the purchased camera. An AAA battery is required to purchase separatel…

Yes, I saw that. It’s just odd that a mechanical trigger is required to get shots one second apart, and that an app can’t do the job. I note that the " Ricoh CA-3 shutter cable switch also requires the “ Ricoh TE-1 Extension Adaptor ”, otherwise you can’t fix the camera to a tripod/stick using the thr…

You can just go to Home Depot and get a threaded rod and coupling for a few bucks. What information have you seen to lead you to think that you can get 360 shots with the THETA SC 1 second apart? Is that from your own tests? Or, have you read something that you can share the link to? $3 Tripod M…

Thanks for the tip. Yes, if I hold my Ricoh Theta SC in my hand, and click the button on the camera, I can shoot 3 images per second. After I’ve shot a dozen images, I can run the app, and download all the image I’ve takeṇ. If I’m tracking a 300m path at 3m intervals, I need 300/3 = 100 images. Us…

Thanks for the details. That’s surprising behavior as the camera normally requires 8 seconds to stitch the dual-fisheye images into equirectangular and be available for another shot. Your camera may be a bit special. If you buy additional equipment, like the trigger, just be aware that it may not…

May be all Theta Ricoh cameras can take photos 1 second apart, if using the manual camera shutter button? Have you tried it on your Ricoh Theta?
