Theta V body - the Wi-Fi logo will blink when Wi-Fi is on, and glow solid when there is a mobile device connected.
Theta Z1 LCD – the Wi-Fi logo will be solid when Wi-Fi is on. This light does not mean there is an active connection with a mobile device. Verify in your mobile device if there is a Wi-Fi connection.
No, Bluetooth on the 360° camera should be turned off. VR Site Tour only uses Wi-Fi to connect to the 360° camera.
Download the Ricoh Theta app and use it to take an image. This will sync the date and time on the 360° camera.

Connect the 360° camera to a computer using the included USB-C cable. The power lamp on the side of the camera lights green when charging, and turns off when fully charged.
No, using an external battery pack will void the 360° camera warranty.
Images can be taken from as far away as 200 feet with clear line of site. Inside, a maximum distance of 30 feet should be observed. This distance may vary depending on the interior physical environment.
Maintaining the same direction when taking images will create a guided tour that has the same orientation for each location marker.
Use the monopod to maintain a consistent height regardless of user height. Use the level to ensure the 360° image is plumb to the ground.
The threaded rod is screwed in between the top of the monopod and the bottom of the 360° camera to create additional height.
With the extension rod, the aperture of the camera will be approximately 71” above the ground.
