This is what the OneR system is basically. If you get a scratch on it, you can buy just the lens and not replace the entire camera system. Yes, the sensor and lens are a single unit, but this is a waterproof + component design already. At some point, things have to be together and sealed. Just about every other action camera system is all in one. An unrepairable lens means replace the entire camera -- not just one part. Also...just use this repair technique. It's not hard at all. Maybe you'll have to ask a neighbor if they have a rotary tool (usually just called Dremel) if you don't want to invest in one yourself, but I happen to already have the tool with a basic polishing kit.
@leoduquette2 жыл бұрын
Just a small warning though. I did the same thing before but the other issue is that you end up removing the lens coating. For most shots it's fine but what happens is you end up seeing a halo of the lens itself. Still better than scratches though. If they designed it with removable lenses, I'd be happy to pay $50 a lens! The protective lenses they sell show up in the video. All that beign said,I'm still buying the next one they come out with!!!!!
@AlexGarciadeSaro2 жыл бұрын
Hi Leo, yes, when i started with the polishing i got some blurry patches but then i kept doing it and i managed taking away around 90% of them which don't make me totally happy but i find it acceptable. I also agree with you that this cameras should offer replaceable lenses because from the day i scratched it, i got the protective covers and they are always visible despite how clean they are. I guess they made them like this to cash more from us when we are forced to buy new cameras 🙄. Many thanks for leaving your experience here, it helps to others for sure. Best regards from Alicante, Spain

The more noticeable effect of scratches is streaks from any bright lights. My GoPro looks fine in the day but at night it's a streaky mess. Does polishing the lens cause distortion from the now misshaped glass?

The vulnerability and difficulty of repairing and replacing the X2/3 lenses is a major problem in describing it as an "action camera". In truth, it is a fragile camera that can take great action shots. It certainly can't be placed in the same category as a GoPro as an action camera. Buyers beware.

I have two tiny chips (white dots) on one of the lenses of my Insta360 RS 1Inch 360 Edition. I don't see any discoloration in the footage, only when I direct a bright light straight onto that lens, I can see two circles in addition to the usual lens flare, like a bokeh effect. Do you think it's worth polishing? Will it yield results? Or could I make it worse?

The link to the polishing compound you find in the video description. It is difficult to say, what exact RPM is required. If you spin the polishing tool to fast, no polishing paste stays on the lens. If you do it yourself, you immediately see which setting is optimal.
