In the thread below, you can see that my THETA V was overheating with the RTSP plug-in. It is going to be similar with normal streaming over the USB cable.
This is just for a test.
If the problem is heat, then people have used these techniques:
- smaller and quieter fan on a tripod facing the camera
- heatsinks from a Raspberry Pi
This is for the S, but you could fabricate a similar holder for the V.
If it is not heat, is it possible, can you try a different USB cable?
I have not heard of any plans to upgrade the firmware of the V to reduce the camera heat. However, keep in mind that I don’t work for RICOH, so I don’t have the official information.
