Thanks for the detailed review of this cause I couldn't find this info out after looking ages
Thank you Isha Scott! I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏾😁
This channel is so much informative for a brand new X2 user as me. Much appreciated. I do have the premium lens guards, without them I couldn't even imagine using the X2. I also got the 3M Telesin extended selfie stick, which is a great price and quality for like 45 USD. Keep up these videos coming, they are so great! Thanks and God bless you and your family!
I hope you enjoy using the “fishing pole”! 😉 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
Very informative thank you. I just found your channel, so I'm Subscribing.
Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing! 🙏🏾
Thanks Drew. I always wondered what the difference between them was. Other TH-camrs haven’t really made it as clear as you just have. (pardon the pun). Keep up the good content.
Honestly I didn’t know the difference between them until I made this video. Ha ha! Thanks for watching and thanks for the encouragement.🙏🏾
Excellent video----Thank you!
Thank you alcozome! I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏾😁
Thank you for the info
I ordered premium lens and will be getting within a week
Smart decision 😉 thanks for watching!🙏🏾
While taking video I can see the stich line but actually its not shows in the video after save
Really useful. Thanks!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I pulled and junked the Sticky Guards...I didn't know they're not waterproof....smacked them on and put the cam underwater in the pool....one lens had CRAZY CONDENSATION to the point that lens was useless. Also the Sticky Guards have an insane amount of lens flare in bright light interior/sunny shots.
Yup I’ve noticed the lens flare too! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Well done. Thanks!
Thank you and thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
Thanks you! just bought the Lens Guards and have not put them on yet, after watching this I just purchased the Premium
That’s great! Gotta protect your stuff. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
Good video! Quick recommendation for any mountainbiker out there though.... the sticky lens guards do nothing!... Smashed right through them and destroyed my ONE X2 on my first few runs this summer. Looking at buying Premium lens guards for the new camera, and hope they hold up better 😊
Yeah I think that’s great advice. Thanks for watching Jack de Hosson! 👍🏾😉
Excellent thanks
Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
Nice video dude. I’m gonna like and sub. Question: can I still connect a mic adapter and use a rode wireless with the premium lens guard?
Thank you MrReddington 77! I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏾😁 honestly I don’t know because the mic adapter that I have is for the one RS. So it doesn’t actually work with the premium Lens Guard.
@@SmithShotFilms hey man thanks for the quick response. I just ordered the guard and the wireless mic. I read somewhere you can’t use both but that’s ok. I have the backpack mount and I want to ride my electric skateboard and give commentary lol. Thanks again and I’ll be checking out your channel for other tech stuff.
Nice video. I got a CAM frame - I wonder if those premium lens would fit over the frame ?
I don’t think it would fit because it’s pretty tight. But you just gave me a good video idea. Thanks! 👍🏾😁
You are a good man
Thank you RAI T! I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏾😁
Thanks for the video. I understood from another review that with the premium protection a black edge all around can be seen, which means not completely 360 degree free.
I was afraid of that too but the Insta360 software seems to remove it. So my videos are completely 360. Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
@@SmithShotFilms hi and thanks for the video. I am using it right now but they are still available. Allthough I clicked on the premium lens guard stitching button. What did I do wrong?
I got one of this premium lens amd actually it does shows the black edge you mention. I thought it would dissapear using the special function "premium lens" included in the software but it didn't. I am happy with my camera but not with the quality image when using the premium lens.
I never considered how much it would cost for the premium to be replaced if I broke it. I bought mine for the soul purpose of putting it on my FPV drone. One good crash would probably destroy it (but save the original lens). The plastic ones would be a cheaper option (if I didn't know how to fly and crash alot 😂) to replace but I just haven't seen a video of a drop test using them. Honestly feel like neither would survive a drop test; just break through both lenses. Don't one to chance it so I guess an expensive replacement it is! Thanks for the video.
Oh ha ha… I crash my drone so much I’m almost afraid to fly it now! Thanks for watching🙏🏾
Cool! 👍
Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
Gracias por el video 👍👍
Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
Can be in x3 too or not?
Hello~, I like your videos 👍👍💪💪 by the way im new to your channel. anyway, I also got a one x2 with the premium lens guards almost 2 weeks now.
so far i'm kinda having light refection problem, with the premium lens while hiking in a forest under bright sun. but the stitching seem less now.
of course the best is without any lens guards, but need to be 200% careful not to drop it. and always remember to put the cap on & clean the lens with lens cloth before filming.
the other cons of the premium is, it blocked the type c port and 2 mic holes. which mean when you need to recharge the battery, needs to take the lens guards off. unless you got few extra batteries and the charger. and for the audio solution => talk louder, get closer to the x2 or get a wireless mic. personally prefer to talk louder 😂😂 unless filming in a city then go wit the wireless mic. ✌
Hey welcome to the channel! I totally agree with everything you said. And I never actually thought about the fact that the premium lens guards would block the charging port. 😣 Thanks for watching.🙏🏾
yeah we have to open the charging port before fixing the premium guards =)
Hi. I'm a new X2 user here. How does the premium look when going 360? Do you see the sides more prominent than without it that you just shouldn't use it?
It works great in 360 because the software removes all the edges of the lens protector. Thanks for watching Will Purba! 👍🏾😉
Thanks. What about sound quality? It was bad on both, but the more expensive guards cover over all the microphones where the cheaper ones don't cover any, thus the sound must be somewhat better with the cheaper lens guards.
Yup you’re correct. The premium lens guards do cover the sound holes a little bit. But they do have an adapter so you can connect an external microphone. Sound quality on the camera microphone is not good in general. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾🎥
@@SmithShotFilms can the mic Adaptor be used with the Premium lens guards? Are u sure?
You convinced me. I'll get premium lenses.
The normal ones are really bad.
The problem is finding a suitable horizontal mount...
Hey you got to protect your investment. What did you mean by horizontal mount? Let me know I might make a video about the mounts that I use with the camera. Thanks for watching! 🤔
I wanted to hear the difference in sound quality but you talked over the cheap ones. The premium guards cover the front and rear mics and the cheap ones have a cut out so they are not covered.
if i use this case can i dive into my cam? Dive 2-3 m
Thanks for watching Marcin T.! 👍🏾😉 yes you can dive up to about 3 m.
Will this protectors work for high speed sports?
That’s a great question and I really haven’t tested it. So I guess you have to use it at your own risk. Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
@@SmithShotFilms ok, thanks for your answer, cheers!
anyone found a case that can protect my x2 with these lens guards on during transportation?
I haven’t seen anything like that yet. But let us know if you find it. Thanks for watching FRUNk! 👍🏾😉
Can this also fit x3?
I think so but I haven’t bought the X3…yet. Thanks for watching Zekie's Momma Plays! 👍🏾😉
my plastic lens guards work great no lines, but i got the better one because i will using the camera on the river
Yep I agree! I think the premium ones work better near water. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching CrazyMike! 👍🏾😉
Dang, in the end this camera is very expensive. I did buy it but now I have the need to buy those $50 lens only because I’ll be using it mainly while riding my Waverunner. I DO NOT want scratches on the lens. What a bummer.
Yup you’ll end up paying more if you scratched your lenses. 🤷🏾♂️ Check out the link in the description for a discount on accessories. 💸
After Insta 360 said I could have it checked out in the USA to expedite. I was sent instructions to have check out in Hong Kong. I didn't mention this but the generic memory card stopped being recognized and I had to buy a new one. this is before it instantly fails underwater. This product will be in shipping back and fourth to China, longer than I had the product. BUYER BEWARE
Oh wow that is terrible. I never had any problems with the camera stopping when underwater. It’s good news that you’re getting a new one. Must be a bad unit. Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
Sounds like the lens guard covered the microphone. The sound is 'muffled'.
Yep I think it does cover the little microphone hole. 😣
Hi. How do you clean water spot and dust on the inside of the lense? There is a rubber ring blocking the full lense from the inside. Can the rubber ring be remove? Thank you.
Vince T, you just gave me a great idea for a video! Thanks keep watching! 👍🏾🔥
You are right about the sticky tape lens. They would fog up under water. JUST BOUGHT this premium cause of you thanks
Smart choice! And thanks for watching. 🙏🏾
@@SmithShotFilms so I just read amazon reviews and most reviwers are saying the lens fogs up bad
Nice one 😎👍
Thanks for watching friend! 🙏🏾
Good video thanks! tell me ? Why do you complain to a camera that would never give good quality video or photos? It is very expensive and you have to have a very expensive cell phone and a very expensive PC! and will never give good quality?
Always poor quality.
Thanks for watching Marco! 👍🏾😉
too loud intro
Noted. Thanks for watching DT_Rider! 👍🏾😉
