Insta360 has created a lens cap for the popular Insta360 One X (reviewed here). The lens cap is made of silicone and covers the lens entirely. Personally, I would have preferred a hard plastic lens cap to avoid any direct contact with the lens. On the positive side, it appears that the silicone cover won’t get dislodged easily. The lens cap is available directly from Insta360.
I also don´t like such silicone covers, because they rub everytime over the glas.
Thats why i made my own cover free to download an print for everyone. Would be nice to see if you try my design.

Thanks Redeye! I’ll try it!
Doesn’t this cover rub against the lenses when being put on/removed?
No, i left nearly 2mm space. Only a tight fit in the Body.
Silicone and hard plastic lens protectors have been available for quite a while by third-party sellers:

Thanks buddy!
Mic what are your thoughts on this lens cover? Is it worth the purchase? Or is it a hassle due to rubbing the lens on removal/application?
Hi 360spun. I prefer to use a camera case instead, which i also use as a lens cover.
