In order to verify how long a movie can be shot with one battery, fix it on the desk using a tripod as follows, and set the resolution, fps, and bit rate to the lowest '2K, 30fps, 8Mbps' and shot a movie.
With RICOH THETA X, recording automatically ends 25 minutes after the start of shooting, so I manually pressed the shooting button every time I finished recording to continue recording. As a result, with the setting '2K / 30fps / 8Mbps', the remaining battery level became 0% when shooting for a total of 75 minutes, and the power turned off.
Next, when the same experiment was performed with the resolution, fps, and bit rate set to the highest '5.7K, 30fps, 120Mbps', an error due to the temperature rise of the main unit occurred 11 minutes and 59 seconds after the start of shooting, and the power supply was automatically turned off. This time, I was shooting indoors at a room temperature of 25 degrees, so it may be possible to shoot for a long time in a season with low temperatures or in an environment with wind, but shooting at 5.7K seems to be good for short movies only. am.
