Ricoh Theta Z1 Lens replacement

#1

Hello

I am looking for information related Ricoh Zeta Z1, the camera was on a stand and fell over smashing the outside lens…

Most annoying, my fault for trusting a wobbly stand!!

Any ideas who can repair the camera please?

Outside bubble lens is smashed

I am based in Scotland

Thanks

Hi, @Suggy
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to repair the broken lens due to the complicated optical lens system. You can contact the nearest support office of Ricoh to replace it. It costs around 800USD.

And you should use the exclusive monopod stand and weight for your next job.

Hi, did you manage to get any joy with fixing your lens. I have a Z1 too and it fell over and badly scratched the lens, seems expensive or really difficult to repair.
