This is a dedicated 3D microphone designed for exclusive use with the RICOH THETA V”.

Equipped with a microphone unit developed by Audio-Technica Corporation, a company recognized for its high technological strength and reliability, this is a 4 channel microphone with 360 degree spatial recording which allows it to record in both horizontal and vertical directions.

The microphone can pick up deep sounds at middle to low frequency due to the directional microphone with a large aperture at approximately 10 mm, compared to built-in microphones. This makes it suitable for shooting musical performances.

Also, attaching the included wind screen to the microphone allows video to be shot with reduced wind noise when outdoors.
