2Pcs Lens Cover for Insta360 X3 Review – Ultimate Protection?

Introduction

Protecting your Insta360 X3’s precious lenses is paramount, especially when venturing into challenging environments. This review delves into the 2Pcs Lens Cover for Insta360 X3, a stick-on lens protector kit promising waterproof, oilproof, dustproof, and anti-collision protection. After rigorous testing, we’ll uncover whether it lives up to the hype.

Features

The kit boasts several key features: a dedicated design solely for the Insta360 X3, high light transmittance (claimed at 92%), and easy installation. The material, PC Bayer 2805, is touted for its resistance to corrosion. The claim of minimal added weight and bulk to the camera is also a significant selling point.

Performance

Installation was indeed straightforward, a simple peel-and-stick process. The protectors adhered well and remained securely in place even after several hours of rigorous testing, including underwater filming and a few accidental bumps. The image quality showed no noticeable degradation; the claimed 92% light transmittance seemed accurate in practice. The lens protectors did an admirable job of shielding the lenses from dust and minor scratches during outdoor activities. However, I wouldn’t recommend relying on them against significant impacts; these are meant to offer protection from everyday wear and tear, not major accidents.

After a week of continuous use, the lens protectors remained firmly attached, and there were no signs of peeling or deterioration. The lightweight nature of the protectors was also noticeable, causing virtually no added bulk or weight imbalance to the camera.

Pros & Cons

• Easy installation
• Effective protection against dust, minor scratches, and water
• Minimal impact on image quality
• Lightweight and compact
• Specifically designed for Insta360 X3

• May not provide sufficient protection against major impacts
• Requires careful application to avoid bubbles

Final Verdict

The 2Pcs Lens Cover for Insta360 X3 offers a practical and affordable solution for protecting your camera’s lenses from everyday wear and tear. While it might not be the ultimate protection against significant damage, its ease of use, minimal impact on image quality, and effective protection against scratches, dust, and water make it a worthwhile investment for any Insta360 X3 owner. I would highly recommend this product for casual users and enthusiasts alike, looking to maximize their camera’s longevity.
