I pre-ordered Ricoh Theta during it's launch day and ready for collection today. Very fun 360 degree camera and can be used as creative tool. Everyone is welcome to discuss and share your tips and photos here!
To make the planet effect, i am using the app in iOS, Circular (US$1.99) After export your photo from Ricoh Theta official app to camera roll, just a few swipe in Circular app, the tiny planet effect photo created instantly!
the finger, i think if crop the finger part, you are not going to miss alot of the scenery also right? from the website, if i zoom in (without the finger) everything looks great in 360 view.
at first i thought is rm199, mana tau is 1199 a very fun camera to get if the price is lower.
