@jcasman and I would like to try and test this more first.
The project below used to work with an older RICOH THETA model. The format of the ptpcam command looks the same as the format you used on the Z1. Can you take a look at line 819 in the script below and try it with the Z1?
We can also try and compare the USB API behavior with this:
I’m unable to use this with either the Z1 or the V. I think I have the format of value of the device property incorrect.

Would like to start by saying thanks to the fantastic community! I am just starting out and have been learning a lot from the posts along with the great videos the community is producing. I was wondering if there has been any progress on this or an update?
I am using the USB API and was hopping to avoid the WebAPI as the USB seems to be a bit more strait forward for me and have not tried the WebAPI yet, but will give it a go.
My initial thought is to use the USB API in hopes to reduce power consumption with the RPi Zero W, GPS module and the Z1 as I am running off a an external battery. I have not tried the WebAPI, but will look into it.
I was thinking maybe splitting the load between the USB API and Bluetooth API assuming this can be done. The Bluetooth API can possible sync the GPS data. Just looking at keeping the power consumption low.
