I did it again

Thanks for watching!

Hi, the material is glass and it is hard!

Well, the tablet works…sans touchscreen functionality. Patience would have been a virtue when prying the screen

The possibility of glass shards and powder getting on the camera sensor, and having to clean up after it, just doesn’t appeal to me.

Ok nanti sy upload Short. Senang je nak buka.

Hi, link sini ruclips.net/video/alYjhqrTpvg/видео.htmlsi=nC_0TNgepmUGY_zy

Yep, still very much in use. I don’t know about the 360 EVO though, first time I’m hearing about that model, sorry

@@lifeafter407hi thanks for the response. its a consumer vr180 camera by #insta360 i love that one but its hard to find now its been discontinued.

No idea, but if you’re using the 150 fov mode it’s probably the same, the lens probably helps with the 180 vision in the 360 mode. I did not power up the cam without the lens, didn’t want to clean up dust specks.

I dropped my insta360 again and the lens popped out, so I made a short without the lens ruclips.net/user/shortsc9WqxkfyN4Y?si=a3rD5oJlNVXMYWUI

Close to USD40

I have not tried the X3 so I can’t say which is easier, sorry

I did not power on the X2 without the lens on, so I don’t know. I suspect the lens is required to get the 180 degree field of view though. I can’t stand seeing dust on electronics so the new lens went on as soon as the old lens came off.

have a Samsung Gear 360 2017 camera, I tried an external lens and the photo was still normal. I don't know if there is any problem with recoh theta cameras? Can you make a video for everyone to know

Excellent idea with the scalpel, more surgical than my blunt approach 👍🏾

Shopee, it’s kinda like alibaba/ali express

I don’t have the X3 unfortunately 🙁

I bought it online direct from China

Thanks! No issues with the lens staying on after 6 months. One thing I’ve noticed though is if I take out the camera from a cold, airconditioned space to the outdoors under the sun, there will be some fogging on the lens (possibly the inside since I don’t seal it airtight) but it goes away after a couple of minutes. Kinda like glasses after stepping out from an airconditioned car to humid outdoors. The opposite lens does not fog up FYI.

@@lifeafter407Great. Thank u so much :)

I did not use much glue on the 1st fix, dropped the camera again and the lens popped out 😂 ruclips.net/user/shortsc9WqxkfyN4Y?si=a3rD5oJlNVXMYWUI

@@lifeafter407 Oh it's sad... I fixed the camera lens by gluing it a year ago, it was perfectly fine, but my camera was taken away by the salty sea a week ago :D somehow the water got in, so now it's completely ruined. :D Now, i looking a new camera... probable insta 360 X4.

​​⁠Yeah, I’m also looking at the X4. The X2 resolution is not enough but the X4 should at least give a 1080p video once cropped.

Thanks, on hindsight, yeah I could have played around with the inner lens seeing how I’ve gone that far 😎

Fuhhh, tristupe watched my vid. You can minimize damage to the lens housing the slower you go, good luck!

Something to try the next time I scratch my lens, thanks.

You could do it that way as well, but I try not to break glass because of the dust it produces (don’t like cleaning dust).

Good point! And a good reminder to those working in dusty environments. I do obsess with dust on the lens, but so far with my use case, I’ve not had that problem. Thanks for highlighting that!

Thanks!

for the same reason your eyeballs are balls and no cubes

Hi. Yeah, I’ve downloaded the camera footage to my mac after the lens replacement to make these RUclips videos. Is the quality as good as new? ..It’s the same from what I see but honestly, even when new the One X2 footage was grainy under certain conditions (low light, distance from subject). It really depends on your replacement lens quality whether you get the same video quality after replacement. Good luck with your One X3.

@@lifeafter407 thank you so much for answer my question! When I replace l will come back here and say what’s happens.

@@kadulopes Had you replace thé Lens on X3 ? Please ?

@@romaric9874 Hey man, here a tutorial how to replace the lens of ONE X3 : ruclips.net/video/xXsaoIvRduo/видео.html

Glad it helped, now we know no need for the screwdriver 👍🏾

Hello friend, could you tell me if your camera is the One x2 or One x3? I intend to change 1 lens on my One x3, but I didn't find any video on how to remove the lens, I believe it's the same way as yours.... I thought about using the dryer to heat the glue and make the process easier. Did you use a plastic or metal spatula?

@@lifeafter407 minus screwdriver = flat head screwdriver. used the wrong terminology haha

😂

did you use superglue or it wasnt needed?

That’d be a better solution than the horrendous lens guards for sure. (I get why they went with the guards approach but it’s like mobile phones, some people just prefer it without the add on cases.)

Hello. Northfeilds had the same comment from about 1 month ago. I’ve copied over some of my thoughts on this: “Since you've mentioned no visible damage to the inner lens and I'm assuming the replacement lens is good, the only thing I can think of is comments from other vids where they used too much glue and developed condensation on the inside lens surfaces. Also, you may try to deduce the defect from the type of blurr.” Other possibilities could be condensation inside the lens, damage to the inner camera lens, damage to the replacement lens inner coating… Hard to troubleshoot really without more clues. Hope that gives you some ideas to track down the cause.

Iyerr! 😇

Ouch, hope they get the spare lenses out soon. I should have bought the 1in version, the X2 needs the subject very close otherwise the resolution is lower than what I’d like

@@lifeafter407 1 inch version is good in term of image quality. Im pretty happy about it..but its too bulky for action shots..good news is, Ive just manage to find 1 shop in PJ which can do the lens replacement..

Thanks for watchin’ 🙂

Action cam, lenses that stick out, yeah. Personally, I’d choose easy lens changeout over waterproofing any day.

Thanks for watching 🙂

Sorry to hear that. Since you’ve mentioned no visible damage to the inner lens and I’m assuming the replacement lens is good, the only thing I can think of is comments from other vids where they used too much glue and developed condensation on the inside lens surfaces. Also, you may try to deduce the defect from the type of blurr.

I’m not an exacto knife user but from what I see of exacto, and on hindsight, minimizing the width of the tool at the point of contact and up to the depth of the lens retainer/housing is crucial to being a camera surgeon. I’m a butcher, I just need the cut. Also important is getting the cut deep enough to separate the lens around the circumference. For prying up the lens, your exacto blade will need to be at least as stiff as a screwdriver shank (it does take a bit of force to dislodge). My lens does look coated on inspection, although the tint color is slightly different compared to what the camera came with. The original tint was maybe purplish and the replacement was greenish? Bought it here: shopee.com.my/product/243588028/20204373208?smtt=0.131017007-1672897263.9 Hope that helps 🙂

Yeah, but seeing how the lenses bulge out on both sides I knew it was only a matter of when, not if. Thanks for watching :-)

No problemo amigo, mi insta no es mi baby 😁

Exactly! Same reason I don’t use lens guards in the first place, don’t like the idea and the good one is not cheap either 😁

Hi, I’ve not run it in 360 mode at 5.7k 30fps, especially for 30 min. Max I’ve done is maybe 20 min. It does get warm, especially outdoors in direct sunlight but never had it auto shut down yet. If I had to guess, I’d say you’re pushing the camera to its limits and the auto off is normal self protection for the camera. I just find it easier in post to take shorter vids 😁
