All such cameras hide their own body that way. If you want to minimize or eliminate the image of the selfie stick, monopod or tripod you're holding the camera with, it pays to make it as slim as possible, and keep it in line with the camera so as much of it as possible disappears in the stitch line. The Falcam F22 Insta360 Action Camera Quick Release Kit is as narrow as possible for that purpose. It was originally made for the Insta360, but it works great with the Ricoh Theta X too, since it's narrower than the camera itself. I bought 3 quick-release kits: I installed one of the sockets onto my highly modified 360° camera "tripod" in lieu of the 3D-printed camera holder I had on top of it to mount the camera., I installed the second socket onto a modified Benro BK15 selfie stick: the swiveling head on this selfie stick is actually screwed on a standard 1/4-20 UNC threaded base. So all that's needed is to remove the swiveling head and its base by applying some head onto the head of the screw to destroy the threadlocker, then the Falcam F22's socket can screw directly onto the selfie stick., I installed the third socket onto a 1/4-20 UNC-to-GoPro adapter, so that I can use any of the plethora of GoPro mounts out there to mount my Ricoh Theta X. Of course, those mounts aren't very discreet in the nadir of the photosphere, since they're not designed to hide in the stitch line. But at least when I need to mount the camera securely onto something unusual, I always have a solution, even if it's not perfect., In this video, I show how the Falcam F22 works, and what you can expect to see at the nadir of the image if you use it with a Ricoh Theta X. All in all, I recommend this quick-release mount for 360 photography: it's convenient, quick, secure and truly invisible.
