Description
This app is actively developed by an FX TD (Visual Effects Technical Director), aiming to allow fast and no-brainer preparing 360° images for producing HDRI images efficiently with RICOH Theta S/SC/V/Z1. Images taken need to be exported to another app or on the computer to merge them into the .hdr or the .exr file. There are lots of options to do that, it is suggested to use Photomatrix, PT Gui, Photoshop or Lightroom with the plugin.Features include,
1. Automatically Shooting Multiple 360° Images For HDRI.
2. Shoot Backplates with the phone camera, and organize files efficiently
3. Automatically calculate exposure settings, allowing to cover wide EV range (this app is now capable of shooting up to ± 9.0 EV range). This means you will not need to struggle with ISO or Shutter Speed Setting anymore with this app.
4. Automatically Download Images just shot or afterward with file name changed to be meaningful.
5. Comprehensive logging functions to allow TD working without pressure on set. Allowing Show thumbnails, comments, image file inspection, etc.
6. Comprehensive tutorial included.
7. Connection, Theta Battery and Capacity Indicator.
Notice,
1. This app requires a minimum Theta firmware version.
Theta S: 1.82
Theta SC: 1.20
Theta V: 1.11
Theta Z1: 1.11
eg. for Theta S,
RICOH provided an app here https://theta360.com/en/support/download/firmware/s/. A tutorial on how to upgrade is here https://theta360.com/en/support/manual/s/content/pc/pc_09.html
2. This app supports the latest Theta Z1 device.
Also working with Theta SC and Theta V, it actually performing better on Theta V and Z1, since they have wider EV range on iso/shutter speed/image resolution setting.
3. This app doesn't work with the Client Mode, nor the Bluetooth. Please make sure to turn off Theta device Client Mode for newer Theta V and Theta Z1 devices. Client Mode means Theta device and Mobile phone connects to the same router with same LAN. This app only works when the mobile phone connects to Theta device's Wifi Hotspot.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
3 ★For vfx purposes there are few apps for the Theta V. This is one of the better ones but its just okay. You cant adjust the iso, the white balance is set by presets rather than colour temperature, and it lacks the flexibility to precisely set a range of exposures. On an outdoor shoot on a sunny day, for example, you would typically set an exposure for the sun then over expose from there. The Theta S bracket app allows this for the S but not the V. That would be a welcome upgrade to this app.
1 ★Not working anymore suddenly for whatever reason. Theta app working and has bracketing.
1 ★I can't connect my theta v to my smartphone xiaomi A2. The phone connects to the WiFi of the camera and I can use the official app. But even when I stop the official app, restart phone and connect via WiFi then try to connect with three60 app it just pops up the dialogue to connect to cam via wifi (but it is already connected)
5 ★Just reinstalled after upgrading to Theta V. Running latest firmware (version 3.00.1) and Android Pie on phone. Easy to use and faultless operation. Extends bracketing way beyond the limits of the Ricoh app. Highly recommended.
1 ★Doesn't seem to give correct bracketing. Doesnt always capture all images. Captured image exposure on the low end doesn't seem to match the EV specified.
4 ★Great app, been looking for something to do exactly this for grabbing HDRI Ibl on set. Dropped a star because the gui does not fit screen properly (Samsung s4 mini).
1 ★Don't let replies to update fool you, it is not connecting, waste of money
1 ★Contacted support twice, no answers! Worked a couple days, then no more connection with camera. Need to uninstall then re-install app to be able to connect again with Theta S. Very annoying.
4 ★Good app but the delayed shooting would be great option. I need to get out of the frame on set. I can always leave the phone next to theta.
4 ★Decent app for taking HDR photos but missing some key features. 1) delay before first shot so you can get out of frame, 2) continuous or set count so you can remove noise and people from photos by masking out of matching brackets. Would get 5 stars if I could set it to take 6 sets of brackets then make noise when done.
5 ★Unlike the Ricoh Theta's HDR function which produces an 8 bit per channel jpg, you can create a 32 bit per channel hdr image with Jianming's app and Photomatix. Once you have your image saved as an hdr file, you can open it anytime and use Photomatix's details enhancer or tone compressor to fine tune the image.
5 ★This app is excellent and it works flawlessly with my Theta SC. I had some Qs/minor feature requests and the author replied (extensively) within 24 hours. Superb.
