Insta360 X3 Lens replacement / lens change DIY Fast and easy

Hi,
So I bought an Insta360 X3 to mount on my motorbike. Unfortunately I dropped it and the lens got scratched. I didn't have Insta360 insurance. Having the lens replaced by them was costly and would take up to 5 weeks (Europe/Belgium). So I decided to replace the lens myself.
This video might be lengthy and badly filmed, but I hope it can help you too. I am not super handy when it comes down to fine work, but I managed to do it, so can you!


These are the steps:
1. Order a lens on Aliexpress. They are costly but are the original ones. Select front / back lens when ordering. I got it in about 10 days https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/100500...
2. Heat the cover with a hair dryer until the glue gets hot
3. Remove the cover. I did it with a thing to remove paint from glass
4. unscrew the 8 screws
5. Gently open the lid and unlink it with the base
6. Unscrew the lens
7. Put the new lens in place
8. re-attach the lid with the base
9. Close the thing down
10. TEST IT
11. Glue the cover back on
12. MOST IMPORTANTLY - BUY LENS COVERS!!!!!
