Key Features
RICOH THETA STICK TM-3 Selfie Stick
The RICOH THETA STICK TM-3 Selfie Stick is a compact mounting accessory designed specifically for RICOH THETA 360° cameras. Its short folded length and lightweight construction make it practical for travel, leisure activities, events and everyday capture where portability is important.
Cleaner 360° Image Composition
Placing more distance between the camera and the user’s hand helps prevent fingers from dominating the lower area of a 360° image. The slim body and direct-mount camera platform are also designed to minimise the amount of the stick visible within the captured scene.
Three-Section Telescopic Design
The TM-3 extends from 177 mm to 423 mm through three telescopic sections. Its compact reach is particularly suitable for self-portraits, leisure photography and scenes centred around people, while its folded length makes it easy to carry inside a camera bag.
Velbon Locking Mechanism
The telescopic sections use a locking mechanism developed by Velbon. The twist-based system supports smooth unlocking, extension and locking while providing stable camera support despite the stick’s narrow construction.
Secure Dial-Type Camera Mount
A dial-type mounting mechanism secures the camera while helping reduce wear on the THETA tripod socket during repeated installation and removal.
Compact Tabletop Deployment
The short folded length allows the TM-3 to be used with compatible mini tripods for tabletop capture. A UNC 1/4 tripod mounting thread at the bottom provides flexibility for connecting additional support equipment.
Lightweight Aluminium Construction
The telescopic pipe is made from aluminium alloy, while the direct-mount camera platform uses resin. The complete stick weighs approximately 80 g, helping keep mobile THETA kits compact and manageable.
Discreet Professional Finish
A matte-black rubber grip provides a comfortable and secure hold. The black-coated aluminium pipe creates a clean appearance and helps make the accessory less visually prominent during 360° capture.
Broad THETA Compatibility
The TM-3 supports all RICOH THETA series cameras. When used with the RICOH THETA X, the camera’s battery cover can remain accessible while the stick is attached.
Summary / Conclusion
The RICOH THETA STICK TM-3 Selfie Stick is a compact and lightweight accessory for cleaner handheld 360° capture. With its 423 mm maximum extension, low-profile direct camera mount, Velbon locking mechanism, dial-type attachment and compatibility across the RICOH THETA series, it is well suited for self-portraits, leisure photography, travel and portable immersive imaging workflows.
