Tripod stand Ricoh for 360-degree photography, model TD-2 (compatible with Ricoh Theta)

The Ricoh Theta Stand TD-2 is a tripod designed to minimise the visible footprint of the legs and central column in 360° images. Constructed from aluminium, it provides a stable platform for Ricoh Theta cameras, including safe use with the heavier Theta Z1. The stand collapses to about 45.7 cm for transport and extends to 150 cm with a one‑touch button for quick height adjustment. It can be used together with the optional TT-1 stand weight for improved stability in windy conditions or for extra security.

Advantages

The stand reduces the portion of tripod and legs appearing in spherical images, improving final image composition. Aluminium construction balances rigidity and portability while ensuring compatibility and safe support for the Theta Z1. Fast single‑button extension and compact stowed length simplify transport and setup for on‑location 360° photography.

Suitable for

• 360° and panoramic photography with Ricoh Theta cameras
• Real estate virtual tours and property photography
• Content creation where hands‑free, elevated camera positioning is required
• Indoor shoots and controlled outdoor environments (use TT‑1 weight recommended for wind)

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Stowed length: approx. 45.7 cm
• Maximum height: 150 cm (single‑touch extension)
• Compatible with: Ricoh Theta series, including Theta Z1
• Optional accessory: TT‑1 stand weight (sold separately)

How to use

Mount the Ricoh Theta camera on the tripod head and secure it according to the camera’s mounting interface. Press the single‑touch extension button and raise the central column to the required height, then lock any adjustment knobs to secure the position. For stowing, unlock and retract the column until the stand reaches its compact length. When using outdoors, check stability and add the TT‑1 stand weight if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For best results in windy conditions or on uneven surfaces, attach the TT‑1 stand weight and avoid fully extended heights when unnecessary. Regularly check fastenings and mounting points before each shoot to ensure safe support of the camera, especially with heavier models such as the Theta Z1.
