FAQs
Are these lens guards suitable for the Insta360 ONE R or ONE RS?
No, these lens guards are specifically designed for the Insta360 ONE X2 model and are not compatible with other Insta360 cameras like the ONE R or ONE RS.
How do I clean the Insta360 ONE X2 Lens Guards?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth before wiping the guard.
Will these lens guards affect image quality?
When clean and properly fitted, they are designed to minimize impact on image quality. The anti-fog coating also helps maintain clarity. However, like any added layer, keeping them pristine is key for optimal results.
Can I leave these on my camera permanently?
While they offer good protection, they are designed to be replaceable. For long-term storage or when not actively filming in risky conditions, it's recommended to remove and clean them. Ensure they are snug but avoid overtightening for extended periods.
What happens if a lens guard gets scratched?
If a lens guard becomes scratched, it should be replaced to ensure optimal clarity and continued protection for the original camera lens. The pack includes two guards, so you have a spare.
Are these waterproof?
The lens guards themselves are not designed to make the camera waterproof. They protect the lenses from physical damage and fogging. Always refer to your Insta360 ONE X2's specifications for its water resistance capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Lens guard is difficult to screw on.
Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly and not cross-threading. The guards should screw on smoothly. Check for any debris on the threads of both the guard and the camera lens.
Fogging is still occurring.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the guards with a recommended lens cleaner. If fogging persists, consider replacing the lens guards as the coating may have degraded.
Smudges or streaks on footage.
Clean the lens guards thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and a suitable lens cleaner. Ensure no residue is left behind.
Lens guard feels loose after installation.
Gently tighten the lens guard until snug. Ensure it is correctly seated on the lens threads. If it continues to feel loose, inspect the threads for damage on both the guard and the camera.
