Ricoh/Pentax RICOH THETA STICK TM-3

Ricoh Theta Stick TM-3 – Compact selfie stick that keeps fingers and the camera platform out of your shot

The Ricoh Theta Stick TM-3 is a compact selfie stick developed for use with the Ricoh Theta series. It helps you create cleaner 360° images by increasing the distance between you and the camera so that fingers do not interfere with the picture. In addition, the stick features a tilted pan head that prevents the camera platform itself from appearing in the shot.

Key features

• Designed specifically for the Ricoh Theta series.
• Tilted pan head to avoid the camera platform showing in images.
• Compact and slim design with a matte black finish to minimize reflection.
• Rubber grip for a firm hold during use.

Design and handling

The TM-3 has a slim profile that keeps the stick discreet in 360° recordings. Its matte black colour reduces reflections around the camera, and a rubber grip ensures a secure hold while you position the Theta camera. The stick extends and collapses through three stages, allowing quick adjustment to the preferred shooting distance.

Use cases

Use the TM-3 when you need to move the camera away from yourself to avoid fingers entering the frame. Also use it when the tilted pan head is required to stop the camera platform from appearing in your 360° photos or videos. The integrated UNC1/4 tripod screw hole lets you mount compatible cameras or accessories that accept that thread.
