How to install/remove the lens?

Environmental requirements for lens replacement

• To prevent moisture ingress and fogging: Before replacing the lens, use a hygrometer or a phone humidity testing app to check the indoor humidity level. If the humidity is higher than 60%, run the air conditioner in dehumidification mode for at least 1 hour.
• To prevent dust from entering and affecting image quality: Try to perform the operations in an indoor space with minimal dust.

Lens removal steps

1. Align the orange mark on the Lens Grip Tool precisely with the white mark on the lens ring (black ring). Ensure the tool is securely engaged with the lens ring.

2. Following the indicator on the Lens Grip Tool, apply gentle force and slowly rotate the tool counterclockwise for at least two full rotations. Once confirmed that the lens ring is firmly attached to the tool, carefully remove the lens ring.

3. Use the provided removal tool to carefully remove the lens. During this step, take care to avoid scratching the internal lens components.

Lens installation steps

1. Before installation, carefully inspect the inside of the camera to ensure it is free of dust and dirt.

2. Use the included suction cup to place the lens smoothly and accurately into its position on the camera.

3. Ensure the lens ring is fitted into the Lens Grip Tool, then lay the camera flat on a stable surface.
4. Following the direction indicator on the Lens Grip Tool, apply gentle force and slowly rotate the tool clockwise for approximately two full rotations to tighten the lens ring. Ensure the white mark on the lens ring aligns with the microphone. If not, make minor adjustments. Note that it is not necessary to screw the lens ring all the way down tightly.
5. After installation, swipe down from the top of the camera screen, tap "Settings" (Gear icon⚙), and select "Stitching Calibration" to calibrate the stitching feature and ensure it works properly.

Please note: If the initial installation attempt fails, you can try several more times in a suitable environment. If you are still unable to complete the installation, you can apply for Insta360 Repair Service for both the camera and the Replacement Lens Kit. We will perform a professional replacement free of labor charges. If the lens is not sent with the camera for repair, additional charges for the lens will apply.

For a more intuitive operational demonstration, please refer to Insta360 X5 Replacement Lens Kit Tutorial and Insta360 X4 Air Replacement Lens Kit Tutorial.

Lens Replacement Precautions

1. Product Applicability

This product is designed only for replacing scratched lenses caused by accidental impact. Do not attempt to use this product in the following situations: cracked lens, deformed lens ring, worn lens ring or Lens Grip Tool, or severely damaged battery, touchscreen, or other camera components.

2. Lens Cleaning and Protection

• When removing or replacing the lens, place a lens cloth under the camera body to prevent accidental scratches to the other lens during the process and to protect the camera lens.
• Wear disposable gloves throughout the entire process to avoid touching the new lens directly with your hands, which may cause contamination.

3. Handling Abnormal Situations

If any of the following abnormal situations occur during removal or installation, stop immediately. Do not continue the operation, and contact Insta360 Customer Support for assistance:

Deformed lens ring; worn lens ring; stripped thread on the inside of the lens ring; dirt or debris present inside the lens threads; sand or dirt in the lens gaps that cannot be cleaned; worn Lens Grip Tool.

FAQ

1. [For X5 only] Why is the white marking dot on the camera not aligned directly under the microphone after installing the new lens?

Please ensure the following steps have been completed:

• During installation, use the Lens Grip Tool to gently tighten the lens ring about two turns; there is no need to tighten it fully.
• Use the tool to adjust the white marking dot so that it roughly aligns with the microphone position. Please rest assured, a slight deviation will not affect its functionality.
• Use the camera's Stitching Calibration feature to correct any alignment issues.

Please refer to: X Series: Stitching Calibration

2. [For X5 only] After installing the Replacement Lens Kit (Custom Edition) on the X5 camera, why was the lens replaced with the Standard Edition lens or the lens with a different color after repair/replacement?

Due to the lack of after-sales inventory for your Custom Edition lens, Insta360 will replace your lens or Replacement Lens Kit with the Standard Edition or the Custom Edition in a different color.

Please rest assured, the replacement lens and kit are functionally identical; only the appearance design may differ slightly.

3. [For X6 only] Why does the lens ring detach from the Lens Grip Tool and remain on the camera body when removing the lens?

This is usually caused by an improper operating angle or lifting method. Please follow the steps below:

Place the camera horizontally, fit the Lens Grip Tool securely onto the lens ring, and repeat the removal process. When lifting the lens ring, make sure to pull it straight up slowly.
