Product Information
Full details
The Insta360 X5 Standard Lens Guards are designed for Insta360 X5 users who need to protect their camera's lenses during everyday use. These reinforced glass guards offer scratch and minor impact resistance while maintaining image clarity through a specialized coating. A potential drawback is that the guards add slight bulk and may require recalibration in certain advanced shooting scenarios, though they are automatically detected for standard stitching.

FAQs
Are these lens guards compatible with other Insta360 models?
No, the Insta360 X5 Standard Lens Guards are specifically designed for the Insta360 X5 camera model only.
How do I clean the lens guards?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth with water or a dedicated lens cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive materials.
Will using lens guards affect my 360° stitching?
The Insta360 X5 automatically enters 'Lens Guard Mode' when the guards are attached, which optimizes stitching for these conditions. They are designed to minimize stitching line issues.
Can I leave the lens guards on permanently?
While designed for everyday protection, it is recommended to remove them when not actively shooting or when performing maintenance to ensure optimal lens health and camera performance. The twist-lock mechanism allows for easy on and off.
What material are the lens guards made of?
The lens guards are made from reinforced 7H glass with a special coating, combined with neodymium and plastic components for the mounting system.
What is included in the pack?
This pack includes two (2) standard lens guards for the Insta360 X5 camera.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not detect Lens Guards
Ensure the lens guards are properly and securely twisted into place. If the issue persists, try removing and reattaching them. Check if there is any debris obstructing the connection points.
Stitching lines are still visible in footage
Verify that the camera is indeed in 'Lens Guard Mode.' If not, reattach the guards. For advanced editing, ensure your stitching software is up-to-date and configured to compensate for lens guards.
Image quality appears reduced
Clean the lens guards thoroughly with a microfiber cloth. Smudges or dirt can significantly impact image clarity. Ensure the guards are correctly aligned and not causing any optical distortion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These lens guards are specifically designed for the Insta360 X5 camera. Ensure your camera model matches before attempting installation.
Setup:
- Ensure the camera lenses are clean and dry.
- Align a lens guard with one of the camera lenses.
- Gently twist the lens guard clockwise until it locks securely into place. The camera should automatically detect the guard and indicate 'Lens Guard Mode' on its screen.
- Repeat for the second lens.
Care:
- To clean the lens guards, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens-cleaning solution approved for camera lenses.
- Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating or glass.
- Store the camera in a protective case when not in use, especially if lens guards are attached, to prevent accidental damage or detachment.
