    Thanks for the test! I expected the premium lens guard to break right away due to the fact they're glass, and the standard ones to be vastly more durable since they're plastic but this is not at all how it played out.
    Really unexpected.
    Insta360 did really well with the design of the premium, I guess that's why they're almost a half sphere: it must increase the strength a lot (at the expense of some reflections)
    However, disappointed by the standard ones, they made them too thin it seems. But optically they're surprisingly good.

    OK - FINALLY - someone actually used the Lens guards and tested their durability - its good to see that they will at least protect the lens - they do mess up the image in some cases - but if you are going extreme with something - you probably dont care anyway. I REALLY wish others out there would talk about this and show it. These cameras are good - and I am very interested in getting one - but I have had terrible experiences with the lenses getting scratched and their horrible customer service getting it repaired - IDK - I might take the plunge.

    Thanks for doing this! Got my X4 yesterday and I’m waiting for the silicone case and OEM silicone lens cap to come today. I wanted to get the X4 utility frame but I don’t do vlogs or need to attach things for now, so I just went with a silicone case. I also see a lens guard product that clips over and on top of the X4, I wonder if that’s any good too. But since that’s clips over the top of the X4, you won’t be able to put a cage or case on the body

      @Hawaaaiii Před měsícem +2

      I saw another review on youtube where they compare the standaard vs premium lensguards from Insta360 on quality in daylight and lowlight. The Premium ones where clearky more visible and attracted way more dust. Since I am not planning to crash an RC car to my X4, I think I am gonna keep the Standard Lensguards.

  • @rossthomson9833

    I am more interested in the quality of the footage with both lenses rather than if one protects more. Is their a noticeable difference between the two?

  • @TNOCV
    @TNOCV Před měsícem +3

    Does it produce glares in low light just like the sticky lens in x3?

    • @FirmRoot
      @FirmRoot Před měsícem +1

      I have the X4 with premium lens guard and the glare isn’t as noticeable, however my issue is how much the premium lens guard attract lints causing horrible footage during low light recording. When I saw this same issue from other YT videos, I thought they were exaggerating and not cleaning their lens protector, until I encountered it. I find it best to remove the lens guard when recording in low light environment and be extra careful with the camera.

    • @TNOCV
      @TNOCV Před měsícem

      @@FirmRoot maybe that's the reason why they made it easily changeable so you can remove it quickly in lowlight situations.

  • @altern8tive
    @altern8tive Před měsícem +2

    In the premium lens guards bundle they have included the lens cap. Does the cap fit the thicker lens guards or do you have to keep removing them to fit the cap. Imagine removing the lens guards to fit the cap and dropping the camera - no protection lol

    • @hoedha

      I have both and can say that both standard and premium fit in the lens cap. Although it's tighter with premium one.

    Hi. For a motorbike, would you recommend premium lenses? I suppose the image quality will be worse using lenses than without, right? Also, maybe if it's cold outside, the lenses could fog up.

      The dive case offers quite a bit of overall protection but traps in a lot of heat out of water.

    I mean, if it falls once its over. No need to test it 1+ time. Scratch will be made. That is why i prefer the cheapest there is, because they will protect the camera from falling once.

    • @HansKeesom
      @HansKeesom Před měsícem +1

      Horrible, I go back to the standards whenever I can......a of sunshine on the side of the lens and you have reflections in your image. Standards are better in that sense., but yes less strong.

  • @DrunkPhotography
    @DrunkPhotography Před měsícem

    The reason this video really hits hard (pun intended) is because people consumed with the QUALITY of video they'll produce despite the lens guards, but the real issue is what you are displaying here, the damage your camera can survive. I've had to replace the lens of my One RS 1inch and that was NOT FUN, and had I damaged the other side's lens, it would have been $500 to replace- but they don't' have protective lenses for it that can produce quality anything. It forced me to then go get this camera for fun activities. However, premium lenses create more glare from sun though, it can be REALY BAD results filming/photographing when sun is strong because of the bulbous design, so I just remove them when I'm in handheld control and put them back on in transit or when I put it on monopod/self stick with base-- which with my luck's been the only other times I damaged another camera lens (gusting winds blew the damn things down).
