AdoramaRicoh Theta Z1Warranties

New Leaf warranties from Adorama14550

Bill_Benson private msg quote post Address this user
Despite the letdown of only getting more storage I'm going to get or try to get one of the new Theta Z1's.

I know from my own experience and the multitude of stories about what a pain the arse a busted lens is, so that brings me to the point of our story. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with New Leaf warranties from Adorama.

I know extended warranties are generally just a money grab from the seller. In this case however, when something that one lapse in judgment or gust of wind can bust, gets one thinking, know what I mean. So I am very much considering it but would like info from a 3rd party. Of course, I've read raves on Adorama's site not so much elsewhere.

Does anyone have any positive or negative feedback?

TIA

Regards,
Bill

@Bill_Benson

I will defer to others that have purchased a New Leaf warrant.

I wanted to suggest, at the very least:

✓ Buy an Adorama VIP360 Membership ($49.99), if you buy a Ricoh Theta Z1 from Adorama (Ricoh Theta Z1 Bundle).

1. 60-day return policy (I have used that!)
2. 1-Years "Drops & Spills" Protection - While you’re a member, the new products you buy from Adorama come with a 1-year accidental damage warranty. Exclusions apply.
3. 2-Day free shipping

I wonder if the ""Drops & Spills" Protection is enough (versus the New Leaf Warranty).

P.S. If you buy the Adorama VIP360 Membership ($49.99), if you buy a Ricoh Theta Z1 or Ricoh Theta Z1 Bundle using the WGAN Affiliate Links about, email me your receipt (DanSmigrod@WeGetAroundNetwork.com) and receive an All Access Pass for 12 months of the WGAN-TV Training Academy. This offer is good through 15 December 2021.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the VIP.

I was looking at new leaf because you can get up to a 5-year policy for 169. Cheaper if someone gets the old version as it's under 1 grand so 5 years is only 79 bucks.

As for the monopod I bought a Bushman a while back and it served very nicely.

They have awesome customer service. I bought it at least 2 years ago when Ben first started talking about it on his videos.

The threads got smashed a bit and ask them what I could do and they're sending me a new threaded portion free of charge. You can't get any better than that.
