Where RICOH360 Tours wins

  • Price. Unlimited 360 tours for less than the cost of one Highbuilt tour a month, if you own a THETA.
  • Speed. Shoot in the morning, publish the same day.
  • Real photos of every room.

Where Highbuilt wins

  • No visit and no camera. We start from the photos already in the listing.
  • A real 3D walk, not jumps between 360 photos, plus a dollhouse view of the whole flat.
  • The building and the street for buyers who have never been to Bangkok.

Honest limits of Highbuilt

  • More expensive per tour than shooting 360 photos yourself.
  • A reconstruction, not a photo: every tour says so.
  • About 24 hours per tour.

Which one should you choose?

  • You visit every unit and want the cheapest tour → RICOH360 Tours.

FAQ

Do I need a RICOH THETA for RICOH360 Tours?

The workflow is built around the THETA camera and its phone app, one shot per room.

Is a 360 tour the same as a 3D tour?

No. A 360 tour lets you look around from fixed spots and jump between them. A 3D tour is a model of the flat you can move through and see from above.

Can I use both?

Yes. Shoot the units you visit with a 360 camera and send us the ones nobody can reach.
