The Insta360 X4 Premium Lens Guards promise rugged protection with tempered glass, designed to shield your camera lens from bumps and scratches while enhancing optical performance. However, user experiences reveal a mix of satisfaction and frustration.

Many users appreciate the ease of installation and removal, noting that the guards click securely into place. They also commend the guards for effectively protecting the lens during impacts, such as when a rock hit the lens hard but only left a small crack on the guard.

However, durability is a recurring concern. Several users report that the guards crack or fall off easily, especially during active use like skiing or motorcycling. One user mentioned losing a guard on their first ride, while another experienced rattling and eventual detachment despite careful installation.

On the bright side, some users find the premium guards superior to standard ones, citing better scratch resistance and easier cleaning. Yet, others argue that glare and dust accumulation remain issues, and installation can be tricky for those without nimble fingers.

In conclusion, while the Insta360 X4 Premium Lens Guards offer decent protection and improved optics, their fragility and inconsistent performance in high-impact scenarios may leave some users wanting more. For everyday use, they’re a solid choice—but for extreme activities, you might want to explore alternatives or keep extras on hand.
