After several months of use, I can confidently say this device has become a permanent fixture on my desk—and not just because I’m too busy to unplug it. The voice dictation works impressively well, saving both time and keyboard wear, while the video quality is sharp enough to make even Monday morning Zoom calls look respectable.
Whether you’re conferencing or simply attempting to look professional from your home office, the performance is consistently reliable. As someone with over 25–30 years in the IT industry, I don’t hand out praise lightly—but in this case, it’s well deserved.
In short, this is an excellent choice for everyday office use. Logitech continues its long-standing tradition of delivering quality products—thankfully, without requiring an IT support ticket to get started.
If only every piece of tech behaved this well, IT departments everywhere could finally take a proper coffee break.
Ricoh Theta X 360 Camera
Capture and view immersive, high-resolution 360° video and still images with the THETA X 360° Camera from Ricoh. Based on dual 48MP CMOS sensors and twin f/2.4 lenses, the THETA X records up to 5.7K30 video and 60MP still photos and offers live streaming in 4K30 AVCH/H.264. A user-friendly 2.25" touchscreen display enables you to preview. It views your images, starts/stops recording, takes photos, and controls the camera settings without needing to link to a smartphone. This compact camera is also the first of Ricoh's 360° line to offer swappable batteries and microSDXC card recording in addition to the 46GB of internal memory. Real-time, in-camera stitching dramatically reduces the time needed to process your 360° videos on your computer, and integrated image stabilization smooths out your handheld action. The THETA X connects quickly using Bluetooth 5.0 without needing to enter an SSID (network name) and also offers dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. Use the separately available cap to protect the camera lenses and to serve as a tabletop stand.
The built-in 2.25" touchscreen LCD screen enables you to use the THETA X without your smartphone or remote control. You can even adjust the camera settings and preview your image before shooting. Photos can be taken with a touchscreen tap and users can cycle through shooting modes with a single button on the camera. After shooting, images can be selected on the touchscreen for viewing as favorites on your smartphone. The THETA X is Ricoh's first 360° camera to use interchangeable DB-110 3.6V, 1350mAh batteries, enabling you to shoot for longer periods. You can also power the camera via its USB Type-C port without needing the optional Extension Adapter. Capture images without being seen in the frame using the Time Shift mode.

Shoot incredibly realistic spherical images and videos using video shooting with improved image stabilization at up to 5.7K, 30fps video
