The THETA X is a stills-first 360 camera. It is the one most real-estate photographers and virtual-tour builders reach for when they don’t need 1-inch sensors. It was the first THETA with a large touchscreen and a removable battery.
For action, travel vlogs or motorsport, look at the Insta360, GoPro or DJI models. For interiors on a tripod, the THETA X’s stitching and platform support are hard to beat at this price.
