what makes some gadgets great is their
ability to take something that would
normally be difficult or time-consuming
and make it so simple anyone can do it
and do it fast in the case of Rico Stata
s it's the creation of spherical photos
and videos Rico was ahead of the curve
when the first theta debuted in 2013 and
this experience shows in the s using it
as straight forward you just turn it on
press the shutter release and you're
done the camera takes two simultaneous
shots through its fisheye lenses and
stitches them together all in camera
without the need of powerful computer or
editing software hit the mode button on
the side and you can record HD video
instead of photos the trade-off for the
simplicity is image quality which is
perfect for sharing and friends and
family and really that's all you need
you can use the cameras built-in Wi-Fi
to connect to a phone or tablet and use
an app to not only transfer your snaps
but also control the camera just tap
what you want to share and it'll
transfer so you can post to Facebook or
Twitter another app is available if you
want to edit your photos first and yet
another app is available for iOS for
editing its video reco also has a
Developer Program so you'll find other
third-party apps available for things
like HDR photos but really if all you
want to do is take the ultimate
spherical selfie just smile and press
the shutter
